Rene Costa

I was Born in Nicosia Cyprus September 19.. from both Greek Cypriot Parents , my father was an electrician by trade but he loved his business so he gave up his trade and had his own business running a nightclub in Nicosia , at the time that i was born there was a British coup in Cyprus and the country was still under a British hold , my father obviously knew something was about to happen and moved his family out the country to the UK , we than had the War of 61-62 where the EOKA tried to overthrow president Makarios , there were many casualties and many lost their lives, we set up home in England and again my father decided to go back into the nightclub business … what he didn’t know was that was the era of the protection rackets and many memories still haunt me about some of the events, I suppose that is why its made me the person I am, I met my wife at 16 and we were married at 23 still very much in love with three great children and now 5 grandchildren, I love what i am doing and enjoying everything and everyone around me , the Crappers has that about the old tradition of the 60s and 70s in it with some very big Characters,
