Athena Andreadis

Athena is an Anglo-Greek singer songwriter born in London and raised in Greece. She is part of London’s melting pot and creative energy, collaborating, recording, performing and writing with international musicians and songwriters such as Chris Difford (Squeeze), Geoff Martyn (Travis), Chaz Jankel (Blockheads), Marti Pellow (Wet Wet Wet), Adam Levy (Norah Jones), Mike Rowe (Sheryl Crowe), Ben Trigg (Arctic Monkeys, Razorlight), Jamie Hartman (Ben’s Brother). London allowed her to express her creativity and become established, having received rave reviews by the British press and headlining sold out venues and festivals ranging from the South Bank Centre in London to Glastonbury. A one hour documentary about her voice & music entitled MyMusic aired on Channel 5 and SkyArts in 2008 with Athena being hailed as one of the leading new UK singers and songwriters.

Daily Mirror wrote about Athena “She’s got earthshaking looks and a talent to match. Listen closely and a startling originality emerges”, while The Guardian described her as “Brave and original. A remarkably fine singer songwriter.”

Athena will be performing a short, acoustic set of four songs, ahead of her full concert at Badminton the following evening (for more see www.facebook.com/Athenamusic)
