[Wien] confusion regarding band structure of Graphene

Your problem, where you have P1 structure but need bands represented 
back in a hexagonal system structure, sounds like something that maybe 
the fold2Bloch tool could help with.  Though, I don't know if it would 
be useful or not in your case.  Should that be something that you 
explorer further, the past posts at the following two links might be of 
interest:
