• Dave Evans: “In fact, this is my first time in Greece. I’m really excited about it. I’m a fan of history. I’ve visited many historical places around the world. And I always wanted to come to Greece as well. The Acropolis is a very famous monument, and I’m thrilled to be performing there.”
• Justin Hayward: “I’m happy I made music from the heart, not under pressure. It’s part of my life.”

• Maggie Reilly: “I look forward to experiencing a concert at the Herodeion under the Acropolis. The last time we were in Greece, we were in a van, going from place to place, eating, and then playing live.”
• Maggie Reilly: “It’s amazing how kids still love these songs, passing them down from generation to generation!”
