- Engaging, joyful, quirky and upbeat: the love children of Julie Andrews and James Brown.
Georgia Simpson (vocals/horns) and Kasey Peters (drums) met while performing as session musicians for a circus theatre show in Northern Ireland, having migrated from the sunny climes of London and LA respectively.
Georgia’s got a soulful set of pipes punctuated with cut-glass vowels and plays sax and clarinet. Kasey’s on another drumming planet. Local hero and sublime riff-meister Scott Jamison provides mouth-watering guitar wizardry, and the dexterous sassy basslines come courtesy of multi-instrumentalist and all-round musical wonderboy Conor Scullion.
A Greeters gig is a smorgasbord of musical delights fused into an identifiable sound ("pissed-off funk", according to one sound engineer) with layers of lush harmonies, spiky lyrics and great musicianship.
Added to this heady mix is a curious jumble of percussion including castanets, honkers and stuffed toys.

In Praise of The Greeters
Killer hooks, groovy vocals and catchy riffs...The Greeters inject a sense of fun and, it has to be said, much-needed froth into the usually rock-heavy local music scene. Featuring groovy riffs, refreshing-as-a-summer-breeze melodies and sublime vocals, this is music, complete with saxophone, drums, clarinet, bass and the occasional castanets, to get your feet moving and grooving on the dance floor. Patric Baird, The Belfast Telegraph
The Greeters brighten up proceedings considerably, all summer fashions and carefree smiles. The music is unobtrusive funk-pop, the sort it’s hard to find anything negative about, at times in stark contrast to the lyrics which for the most part chart the failings and foibles of the human condition, with the kind of self-deprecating wit the Cardigans have in spades. It was also a pleasure to witness singer Georgia Simpson wielding whimsical instruments such as the vibraslap and even a couple of noisemaking stuffed toy animals. Fun, frivolous, and not ashamed to be so. Stevie McCullough, No Clarity Online Magazine
One of Belfast's best bands – The Greeters music is instantly recognisable and is earning them fans whenever they play!
