Featured on the TV show "Come Dine With Me"!
This Greek Band is one of the very few Greek Bands that have a young Greek dancer as part of the band. The dancer is there not only to demonstrate some Greek dances, but also, most importantly, to allow audience participation where necessary and make sure the night is a fun and entertaining one - You will learn how to dance Zorba the Greek "OPA"!
Their goal is to provide the client with Greek and international entertainment to suit their occasion. The Greek band will provide background music while you enjoy your dinner or/and create a true Greek singing and dancing atmosphere and make your event one to remember. Their music and entertainment will take you back to Greece with the amazing sounds of the bouzouki. Your event is a special day, so The Greek Band can provide that unique sound that will make it a fun and memorable experience for you, as a client, and your guests.
They can tailor the programme and size of the band to the customer requirements. The entertainment choice for your event could start from only a solo performer and could include Greek dancing, belly dancing and a DJ service for the intervals and/or the end.
Programme examples are as follows:

Hi Tracey, We, that is me, my daughters and family, were delighted in every way with Georgious and his mate. They pitched it just right and were undoubtably a vital part of the evening, that was a success in all respects. I took one of your cards from them, but now wish I’d asked for a CD. as I run an events centre in Falmouth and would keep them in mind for future occasions. Please convey our thanks to them both for their contribution to the evening.
We give you a bespoke price based on the exact location of your event. The pricing below is based on a central location for your area so you have an idea of what your price will be. The exact price will be given in the booking process after you’ve provided the location details.
Sound
Top quality compact Dynacord Stereo Powered Mixer with EV speakers system which will cover any function from 4 to 600 people. It is OK for clients to use our PA for speeches.
Lighting
Disco effects lighting to cover the dance floor will be provided if requested to end the night with our DJ service and if space is available. (Please note: The lights provided will depend on your budget.)
Band Requirements
Electricity - At least 1 standard 13A socket within short distance to the performance area.
Parking
Food & refreshments for the musicians would be appreciated as on most occasions we have to travel long distances. (No sandwiches please!)
Dress Code
The band can be dressed in either matching Greek waistcoats and red belts or of a smart casual style.
Performance Times
We find that 3 hours of live music is the best format. However, the timings can be totally flexible to fit in with any plans you may have. If you need Greek entertainment for your wedding and you do not want (or could not afford) to have Live Greek Band for the entire night, we could perform for 1 hour only and give your wedding a Greek flavour. After this the DJ could take over (this option is very popular with our clients). During this hour you could have Greek background music and singing, Greek Dancer to get your audience going and plates to smash (optional).
Background music could be provided during the band breaks and if requested, the night could be brought to an end with DJ Music for a small supplementary fee.
Insurance & Equipment
The Greek Band has performed in the most desired places so it has all the necessary paperwork for Public Liability Insurance - £5.000.000, PAT Certificatea and Risk Assessment.
