Last year Singing Streets co-founder Worth Wagers was vacationing in Crete and realised that Matala, where Joni Mitchell lived in a cave and wrote parts of her masterpiece 'Blue', was only a short drive away.
Joni stayed here in Matala, Crete and dated Cary Raditz, who was a cook at The Mermaid Cafe, which inspired her amazing song Carey.
Have a look, the new location of the cafe is featured in this short video and the winds are in from Africa - literally.
