Thanasis and his team will take the audience on a musical journey through the life of Bithikotsis with the help of a magnificent 13-piece band including three bouzoukia.

“This year marks the 100-year anniversary to the birth of this great icon and it is only fitting that we pay tribute to the man whose songs had a major influence on the Greek music of today,” the President of the Greek Orthodox Community of NSW, Harry Danalis, said.

“Songs that are still widely played and will always hold a special place in the heart of Greeks of generations past, present and future. We know Thanasis and his team will not disappoint.”
