Friday Night is Music Night 14

To mark Remembrance Day, the music this week is a sombre one by the Fureys which I used to accompany some pics I took years ago on the First World War Battlefields of Belgium and France. I should point out that the second picture was deliberately blurred as I wanted it to represent those who died without any known grave.

Friday Night is Music Night - Answer 2

Thanks to those of you who joined in last night’s Music Night.

The answers to the questions were:-

The name of the artist was Tarkan who had a world-wide hit with ‘Kiss Kiss’ in 1997. Holly Valance also had a hit with it 5 years later.

The country is Turkey which has a wonderfully varied landscape, beautiful coastline and remarkable history.

The precise location in the featured image is the Acropolis at Tlos which is not far from Fethiye on the Mediterranean coast.

Kiss Kiss is a great song to belly dance too 😊

Friday Night is Music Night 2

Not for the first time (and for several reasons), I’m struggling to find the enthusiasm to continue blogging, and so to help keep my spirits up and not let my faithful followers down, I’m following up last Friday’s music quiz with another one.

I’m digging back into my photo archives again for the featured pic but the music should give you a clue as to where it is, so my questions tonight are similar to last week:-

A bronze star if you can name the artist

A silver if you can name the country we’re in

And a Gold if you can name the exact location of the featured pic

The song I’ve included is this artist’s most well-known, and was top of his country’s charts at the time we were there. It was also released by an Australian/TV star in 2002 which also hit the top of  the charts in both countries.

There’s a bronze star for those of you who can name the artist, a silver for anyone who can name the country the artist is associated with – and gold for the person who can name the island in the photograph. It’s an old image I scanned from a transparency, but I hope it doesn’t detract too much from this wonderful ‘island in the sun’. 😊
