Traffic Jam spectacular
"Thank you for the amazing evening traffic jam .....❤️"
Christos Adamidis (Maisha Percussion)
"Incredibly talented and great guy! Christos played percussion alongside our DJ and a saxophonist at our wedding. Despite little prep time and a bespoke playlist from us, Christos’’ percussion was an amazing addition to the DJ and really got the party started - playing alongside a range of music from blues / disco to house music. I also have no doubt Christos would’ve been a great choice to DJ himself alongside his percussion and would definitely recommend for any similar events. He is also a great guy and built a great connection with us and all our guests. Highly recommend!"
