Introducing the very first Balkan Beats Special at the Sallis Benney Theatre…
The infamous Baghdaddies come all the way down from Newcastle-upon-Tyne to bring their astounding and anarchic melange of traditional European and world musical styles. Influenced by the wedding brass band and gypsy music of Eastern Europe - through reggae, ska, calypso, jazz and punk rock.
The Matzos – play their own brand of kicking Klezmer: Wild, exhilarating Eastern European melodies tied to a compelling and driving beat.
