Locomondo and Natassa Bofiliou at the 34o River Party

This year, the River Party it will be better than ever, with more entertainment suggestions and powerful signatures from…
Greece and abroad exactly as promised from the first moment! The countdown has begun and the participation of Thievery Corporation, of the leading live band loved by the Greek public.
Over twenty musical groups (bands and well-known Greek artists) will perform at this year's River Party.

Among them two strong signatures of the newest Greek music scene. The Locomondo, the seven-member shape that uses reggae as a vehicle, ska and latin rhythms win the love of the public wherever they appear - something they proved last year in Nestorio by harmonizing the whole world of the festival in a concert with endless fun, dance and song – will be in Nestorio again this year.

 But for the first time the River Party, will welcome a great singer of the younger generation with great talent, the wonderful Natassa Bofiliou. With a new album to her credit, sold out performances recently in Athens and a group of young talented musicians, is coming to the River Party, there next to the Aliakmons river.

Manolidou- Georgiadis : How much did the pre-election period affect their relationship?;

About her relationship with her husband, Adonis Georgiadis during the pre-election period, but also about the result of the elections, Eugenia Manolidou spoke to the camera of the show "Helen".

"We always have family peace and tranquility, in each period. The situation at home is not affected by whether it is pre-election or post-election period" said the well-known musician, while when asked if her husband's absence from home due to his obligations affects their relationship, he replied: “Adonis is always away from home a lot, always works too much. Our house is not related to all this. Between us we are always very good".

End, about the election result, both as regards her husband, as well as the general political scene, commented: "Being elected with so many thousands of votes is a moral reward. On the other side, we are not happy with this situation, we didn't celebrate. We are still very numb".

Christina Lampiri : "I didn't feel like I did anything that would bother Eleni"

For her Nicoletta Ralli and its replacement «Super Star» from “Made In Star”—which ultimately failed to complete the television season- but she also talked about Eleni Menegaki in her interview in the magazine “Okay!» Christina Lampiri.

"No, for God's sake" answered the well-known presenter categorically when asked if last September, returning from her vacation, found Nicoletta Ralli sitting at her desk in the canal, as some had said then. “I found no one sitting in my seat when I returned. We agreed with the station that I would eventually take over the tickets and everything went smoothly" he said, emphasizing how "Nikoletta Ralli is an extraordinary and beautiful creature and television needs fresh and restful faces".

As for the fact that 'Made In Star' ultimately failed to stay on the air until the end of the season: "Let's not forget the incalculable factor "Menegaki" who was in front of her" he stated, including, Christina Lampiri.

End, commented on the statement that Eleni Menegaki had recently made about the midday broadcasts (he had mentioned that they had no other topic than gossip, separating her show from these kinds of shows): "I never felt that I was doing something so ¨hardcore¨ that it would bother Eleni. Perhaps we have misunderstood the concept of lunch. In my opinion, morning study and Eleni's show and to a large extent also Morning Mou and especially last year I think that there were characterizations and behaviors outside our own zone which in my eyes made them a tougher lunch than,what was Super Star. But also on Eleni's show today they have a big section dedicated to the gossip of the day, as we had, they have interviews, medical issues, as we had, and the only thing that differentiates them is the cooking and astrology part. Now that I think about it again, Super Star was probably a breakfast restaurant. Perhaps the show is ultimately made by the time and not the content".

And in Europe it will be nice!

After two weeks of interruption her championship Formula 1 continues and even returns to… familiar haunts.

Teams and drivers warm up their engines, ahead of the fifth grand prix of the season, which is hosted at the Catalunya circuit... opening the first race in Europe.

The Catalan circuit is a tradition for the crown championship of motorsport, since apart from the fact that it hosts the championship from the 1991, the winter development tests are also held on this track, as a result the pilots know it very well.

Σημαντικό ρόλο και σε αυτό το γκραν πρι -εκτός των αναβαθμίσεων που περιμένουμε να δούμε από τις ομάδες- the Pirelli tires will also play, which will... supply the teams with hard and soft rubber.

It is a mystery which pilot will see the checkered flag, given that in the first four matches, four different pilots have seen the checkered flag.

Drivers' standings after the first four grands prix:

1. Vettel, 53
2. Hamilton, 49
3. Weber, 48
4. Baton, 43
5. Alonso, 43
6. Rosberg, 35
7. Raikkonen, 34
8. Grosjean, 23
9. Days,22
10. Di Resta, 15

Manufacturers Rating:

1. Red Bull, 101
2. McLaren, 92
3. Lotus- Renault, 57
4. Ferrari, 45
5. Mercedes, 37
6. Sauber, 31
7. Williams, 18
8. Force India, 17
9. Red Bull, 6

A few words about the track:

In Catalonia the winner will see the checkered flag, after filling 66 rounds, while in total the pilots will have traveled 307.104 kilometers, since the track is long 4.655 km.

The Spanish circuit consists of 16 turns, high and low speed, seven of which are clockwise and the remaining nine anti-clockwise, while the course of the cars follows the clockwise direction.

Pilots in Spain touch the 311 kilometers per hour on the starting straight, while they receive the greatest stress in the third stanza, where drivers receive powers 3.86 G. In Spain motorsport fans are making their presence felt, as they always fill the stands,

The fastest lap has been done by Kimi Raikkonen 2008 with the Ferrari car.

Statistics:

– Ferrari has a tradition at the Catalunya circuit, having won seven in 21 years.
– Fernando Alonso, he is the only Spanish pilot, who has won at home. The two-time World Champion, saw the checkered flag 2006, when he was racing with Renault.
– Michael Schumacher has the most wins in Spain (six checkered flags) and indeed, he is the only pilot to have climbed to the first step of the podium, without having started from the first position.
– In the last nine out of ten grands prix the driver who started from pole position, took the checkered flag.
– Last year Sebastian Vettel took the win.
