WHO:     As part of the Virgin Megastore "Best of British" campaign,
         Sophie Agapios, one of the U.K.'s newest singer/songwriters,
         will be on hand to showcase songs from her debut album,
         "Philosophie," just released from Squeaky Records. The
         British newcomer is making her mark on both sides of the
         Atlantic with her latest hits "U Girl" and the poignant
         anthem "Never Forget," written by Sophie in memory of the
         victims of September 11. Now, after much anticipation, Virgin
         Megastore/Sunset is thrilled to support one of Britain's own

         latest project to American music fans.

WHERE:   Virgin Megastore/Sunset
         8000 Sunset Blvd.

WHAT:    Sophie, meaning "wisdom" in Greek, and Agapios, meaning "to
         love," blends both into her collection of songs. From the
         rousing opening upbeat anthem "U Girl" and "Rock Me Baby," to
         its moving tribute to 9/11, "Never Forget," "Philosophie" is
         the U.K.'s answer to credible pop. Currently on a radio tour
         in London, New York and Los Angeles, Sophie Agapios is
         bringing her unique sound and creative lyrics to stateside
         music fans. Now the British singer/songwriter Sophie Agapios
         will be on hand to meet and greet her American fans and to
         perform live. For more information on Sophie Agapios, go to
