30/4/12 ATTENTION PLEASE:My solo album earnings as of today will be going 100% to charity , PLEASE READ.
''Hey ladies and gents,
Hope you are all doing well!
I would really appreciate if you took a moment to read the following lines.
As a lot of you might have read, Greece, my country of origin, has been through a severe financial and social downfall for the last three years.
This downfall has affected the lives of all the people there to some extend and a big part of them to a very large extend, so badly that many parents are no longer able to raise their children and people are unable to feed themselves.
For good or for worse I am not a wealthy man so the only way that i have in order to help those people is my music and my work.
Therefore, as of today, I will be giving all the earnings from the sales of my current re-release of the 2009 album 'Between two worlds', to one of the most important charities for Children Care, called 'The smile of the child' (www.hamogelo.gr).
This charity was envisioned by the 10 -year old Andreas in 1995, who at the time was fully aware that there was a chance that he wouldn't make it alive due to cancer.He wanted a better future for the underprivileged children and a place that they could call home and being taken care off.
Not long after his passing, his father embraced his son's idea and created a very prestigious charity with the help of many, many people who offered whatever they could at the time.
Unfortunately in those turbulent times, there is a danger of the charity shutting down, due to the financial downfall of the past three years.
This would imply the permanent stop of support towards many underprivileged/abused children who are now sheltered in the facilities of the charity.
Additionally, the country would lose one of its main centres, where children can call in if abused, hurt or not taken care off and specialists can initiate immediate legal action towards their protection.
To sum up, 'Hamogelo tou paidiou' is one of the few remaining places in Greece,where the most vulnerable members of our society,Children, can find a home,food and medical care.
Please support this goal if you can,it can really make a difference,
All the best ,
George Marios''
TAKE PART IN MY NEW EP!
Hey guys,
As some of you might know, I am currently recording a brand new solo EP, which is gonna feature 3 songs.
One of those 3 songs, has been written for my Granddad who passed away.
Within that song there is a part, where I would like YOU to be a part of.
Basically, what i would like for that part of the song,is a wish from you to a dear person that you have lost or something that you would wanna tell them if they were right in front of you(for the purpose of the song it will have to be about 5-7 seconds).
In terms of language, feel free to do it in your native one, as i would love to have many different colours in the song.
In terms of the recording quality if you have logic or any recording equipment and software you can record it at 88.200Khz. If you don't have equipment or software, then by all means feel free to use a phone mic or any other recording device you have.
Once you record the file, you can send it to me at my email address (gmtplayer@hotmail.com).
Thank you very much,
Looking forward to your little segments!
Peace
George Marios
