The International North Cyprus Music Festival starts on the 8th October. There's usually about 6 or so concerts over a 1 month period. I'm waiting for confirmation on the dates. When I have them, they'll be on my web site http://www.whatson-northcyprus.com

They will certainly be on sale at the Abbey, but I'm not sure if they have them yet. Their brochures are just being printed now, as there was a bit of doubt about the first concert, so I assume the tickets are being printed as well.

As soon as I have information I'll post it here.
