Minus One are among the most popular rock bands on the island, playing weekly gigs for appreciative audiences. They’re also our representatives at the Eurovision Song Contest this year, and made it through the first semi-final last Tuesday to appear in the final on Saturday.
As Minus One, the band mostly play covers of well-known rock songs – but they also have a second persona as ‘Marianne’s Wish’, where they play their own material.
To mark their Eurovision success (and hoped-for success on Saturday), here’s our backstage video from 2014 when we spoke to Minus One/Marianne’s Wish at Avlea in Nicosia, a few days before they became the first Cypriot band to play at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas.
Note that the band had a slightly different line-up at the time.
