 The year ended with Christos starring in a Raymond Gubbay Christmas spectacular concert at The O2 arena (London) introduced by Mylene Klass and accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Royal Choral Society, Alison Jiear and Stephanie Corley (soprano's).The new decade began as the previous year with Christos singing this time at the memorial service of Maggie Jones, who played Blanche Hunt in the long running British TV series Coronation Street.Much of the year was devoted to charity raising events throughout the UK (see Charity Work section), but during the summer Christos returned to Cheshire to perform in the popular Tameside "Splendid Weekend" classical concert.
