Espree feat. Rietta

Due to popular demand Espree are back for their second guest house band appearance at the fantastic 7Seas, Limassol. Featuring guest singer Rietta Austin along with Lucy Mackinnon the band are very excited to be returning to the island of Aphrodite and will be performing a mixture of funky jazz, easy listening and classic dance floor fillers to get the 7Seas rocking!

Espree’s repertoire includes music from artists such as Kool & the Gang, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5, James Brown, Sister Sledge and Jocelyn Brown through to more contemporary artists including Jamiroquai, Moloko, Robbie Williams, Amy Winehouse and Joss Stone - they can even throw in the odd Bon Jovi tune!!. Their material is so universally popular that Espree have performed all over Europe and as far a field as Dubai, Oman and Israel.

“Rietta IS music…she lives and breathes it…Truly a voice that needs to be heard.” - Kirk Pengilly, INXS”.
