Thursday Balkan Boogie with Cigány Weaver & Greshka
Event description
Swing into the fabulous "It's Still a Secret" on Montague road for a delicious cocktail, some nibbles and be blown away by bombastic beats, silly segues and phenomenal French um music. And lots of alliteration.

Cigány Weaver started as a Gypsy Jazz band, and has evolved into a variety of soft yearning folk music, cinematic instrumentals, Romani and Balkan energy, and classic swing. Powered by Jo Davie's soaring vocals, fiery violin, 'Pompe-ing' guitars, and driving rhythm section. Cigány Weaver create a purely acoustic group that effortlessly navigates the musical nexus between intimacy and raucousness.

Have you been feeling run down? You probably have a Vitamin S deficiency. Come to a Greshka gig for a big healthy nourishing dose of Vitamin Silly. They play music from Eastern Europe, gypsy, Balkan, klezmer – and all of it made extra silly with synthesisers, cimbaloms and singalongs. Greshka play music which sounds like the contents of Spongebob Squarepants suitcase as he sets sail for Sweden. There’s snappy sârbăs, synthonic ska and Serbian-style swing. It’s incessantly sporadic, spectacularly stupid, seldom stodgy, syllabically superfluous and unceasingly exceptionally SILLY!
