Photo of The violin experience! 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." Based in Kos, South Aegean 3rd July 2026 Paul C - Wedding Photo of Maria Ploumi Maria Ploumi "Maria Ploumi is an exceptional laouto player and singer, seamlessly blending traditional Greek music with contemporary influences. Her recent performance with Chrysoula K. & Púrpura was a masterclass in musicality and emotion. With her expressive laouto playing and warm vocals, Ploumi added depth and texture to a diverse repertoire spanning Greece, Argentina, Portugal, Armenia, and Italy. The band’s unique instrumentation—kanun, flute, cello, and laouto—created a rich, immersive soundscape, with Ploumi’s precision and artistry standing out as a highlight. Her synergy with lead singer Chrysoula Kechagioglou and the rest of the ensemble was remarkable, delivering a performance that was both technically impressive and deeply moving. Maria Ploumi’s ability to bridge musical traditions makes her a standout artist in today’s world music scene. Whether leading with her laouto or harmonizing in song, she brings an authenticity and passion that captivates audiences." Based in Ermoúpolis, South Aegean (135 miles from Kos) Apostolos Maris - Concert Photo of Ta mortakia Ta mortakia "The band was truly amazing. Themis, Magdalena and Antonia were very kind and professional. We had a wonderful evening and will surely invite them to our next event!" Based in Athens, Attica (210 miles from Kos) 1st August 2026 Dor - Birthday Photo of Golden "Opa" Band Golden "Opa" Band "There’s something beautifully unpolished about Golden OPA Band. Not messy—human. Their sound has this lived‑in warmth, like stories passed down over wine and late nights. You don’t just hear them; you feel the room shift around them." Based in Athens, Attica (210 miles from Kos) 4th February 2026 Julian Mercer Photo of Family Ties Family Ties "Many thanks for all the Support, Sound system and communication Mr Apostolos owner and dirrector of ''The Cult Caffe''. See you soon again..." Based in Athens, Attica (210 miles from Kos) The Cult Caffe - Gigg Photo of Marianna Louma Marianna Louma "I had the pleasure of hiring Marianna for an event, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Her voice is absolutely stunning, and she created such a warm and magical atmosphere throughout the night. She was professional, punctual, and very easy to work with. All of our guests were impressed and kept asking about her afterwards. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing live performance, and I would love to book her again in the future!" Based in Volos, Thessaly (291 miles from Kos) Ελένη
