Default Chris de burgh in Iran

Quote:
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Singer Chris de Burgh said in Iran on Wednesday that his plans to hold concerts in the Islamic Republic sprang purely from a desire to sing for ordinary people.

In his first visit to the Islamic state, De Burgh who has loyal fans in the country expressed hope that the Iranian authorities would give him and a local pop band called Arian the permission to hold concerts late this year.

"This has been a dream of mine since I was a little boy (to visit Iran)... I am here to see and play for people," de Burgh said at a press conference in Tehran.

"We are not politically naive ... I am not here for any political reasons. I am a humanist," he added.

Born of British parents and brought up in Ireland, de Burgh enjoys fame in Iran and his concert would be the first time since the 1979 revolution that an Iranian pop band had played alongside a Western singer inside the Islamic Republic.

"I want to play a concert here. That is all I have to say and that is why I am here," he said.

When asked about Iranian authorities, de Burgh said: "I don't get the impression of a big, powerful state body crushing people. There appears to be freedom."
nice to see what chris de burgh says about Iran.

"Don't pay the ferryman" is a good tune.

I like "the lonely sky" the best. "Lebanese nights" is also great.
