About / Biography

Greek professional performing artists with over 20 years of experience have performed on various stages, from small intimate venues and taverns up to world-class stages next to renowned artists. Currently performing on a weekly basis (mainly in London but all over the UK too) alongside some of the best Greek musicians in the area, offering versatile and high-quality Greek music concerts.
We are flexible in the events and occasions we cover. So, whether you are looking to book an intimate private gig with a melodic guitar-bouzouki duo or a full-piece band to play at your special event and put your guest's dancing stamina to the test (or anything in between), we are the perfect choice!
Our performances are always in Greek and depending on the occasion, can be tailored to what the client wants in terms of lineup and musical style. The genres we cover are Greek traditional, rebetiko, old laiko and entehno.

  • 5 piece band - percussions | violin or canun | lavta & bouzouki | guitar & vocals | lute & vocals (Traditional dancing songs from all over Greece & Cyprus)

A copy of our Full Repertoire would be difficult to put together as it consists of almost 1000 songs! We are more than happy to play requests on the day of the event (as long as the song is appropriate at the moment). We are flexible in tailoring the setlist prior to the event with the client, if they have specific songs they would like to hear. We do not cover very modern Greek songs and we do not encourage plate smashing (at least not within close range to the musicians).

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Chairs for each performer, access to sockets and a small table for the mixer if we use our own PA system, parking close to the venue, a safe room where we can store our cases and possibly change if needed.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, we can provide a full PA system upon request.


What information do you require about a venue?

We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

DJ service can be arranged - TBD with client . We’re happy to play music from Spotify before and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music (with at least a day's notice please).

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Arrival: 2 hours before the performance
Setup/pack down: If we need to set up our own PA, we need 1,5-2 hours for setup and soundcheck and 30-45 minutes for pack down. If PA is already set, half of that.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We’re happy to play outside during the summer but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We are happy to play requests if we know them and if we feel they are appropriate for the occasion.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

As a 'trip to Greece and back'.
