For 2011, there are several round-numbered anniversaries related to Queen. The whole world is living in the tunes of the rock queen again, and the Czech Republic will not be an exception this autumn either. This year's meeting of Queen fans will be a great tribute to Freddie Mercury. We are proud that our invitation was accepted by two persons who were very important in Freddie's life – his sister Kashmira Cooke and personal assistant Peter Freestone. The third and no less significant guest will be Eva Urbanová, an opera singer who does not conceal her love for Queen. And that's not all. This party will be something you have not experienced yet! The event will be arranged exactly in the style of the parties held by Queen, with food and sparkling wine distributed by half-naked hostesses. The band Queenie will take care of the live music, besides which you can also expect a few video documents, an exhibition, a raffle with exclusive prizes, a Queen market and a traditional Queen video party at the end of the evening. Long story short, we'll celebrate Queen's music and Freddie Mercury's life in the style he himself would love to – having a great time and enjoying to the fullest.
Come join us, everybody, let's commemorate Queen and pay tribute to Freddie – 20 years since his decease – in the presence of his sister Kash.
