Oktoberfest German band
"Huge thanks to the amazing duo for creating such an incredible atmosphere — lively, fun, and full of authentic German spirit! From classic folk tunes to cheeky singalongs, every song brought smiles and energy to the crowd. You made the night unforgettable — can’t wait to have you back again!"

Violinist & Band
"Amazing musicians! Variety of music styles and songs. We hired Emil with his band for our Corporate event and they were a huge hit!
Everyone was up on their feet dancing along the whole night. Incredibly nice and such a pleasure to work with them!
Emil made sure the playlist targeted our whole audience and sounded awesome.
I would definitely recommend them for any and all events and hope to work with them again!"
The Magpies
"We were so excited to have The Magpies play and sing for our AACA Christmas party! Our caterer bailed on us and we found a restaurant to bring food, but it took a long time, however the time flew by listening to these ladies with beautiful songs everyone knew! Lovely, lively piano & guitar and fantastic vocals including Holiday songs for Christmas! They saved the day for us by keeping the party going!

The violin experience!
"We recently had Manolis perform at our wedding in Kos in June 2026. From first contact with him to the big day he kept in touch and was happy to send us a video of himself performing the song we requested for the ceremony to make sure we were happy. His performance on the day was excellent, every piece of music was fantastic and timed to perfection. The guests all commented how good he was and how wonderful it was to have at a wedding. We would highly recommend Manolis and are grateful to him for making our day such a special occasion."
