At Athinas' Varvakeio market you can experience a whole universe of smells, sounds , tastes and sights. Shop for meat and fish, herbs, nuts, spices and delicacies and then cross over to find fruit and vegetables and a row of shops from eastern Europe.
You will also see beggers and bands, black market cigarette sellers and a fascinating blend of the most distinguished with the most common.
Looking over the footage I took of this gypsy band at Athinas, I was inspired to use it as a video backdrop for my song 'When we two parted', which is based on the poem by Lord Byron.
