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.

Taraf Tambal play lively dance tunes and mournful shepherd's songs from Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia and Macedonia.

At the heart of the group is the Romanian hammer dulcimer or "Tambal" played by Will Eager. Mike Patterson (violin), Sam Vincent (double bass) and Philip Griffin (oud, guitars, cümbüş and ukulele) round out a band of masterful muses.

The group's repertoire is partly original and partly drawn from traditional folk music of the Balkan countries.

Collectively and individually they have performed at WOMADelaide, The Woodford Folk Festival, The Sydney Opera House, Melbourne/Perth/Adelaide International Festivals, The National Folk Festival, The Big Day Out, The Stradbroke and Sunshine Coast Chamber Music Festivals, The Romanian Wine Festival, and The Mullumbimby Multicultural Festival to name just a few venues.

All four performers are highly active musicians in Brisbane, performing in diverse groups such as Gosti, Estampa, East of West, The QLD Symphony Orchestra, Camerata - QLD’s Chamber Orchestra, Aaron Brown’s Early Modern, The Impulse Orchestra, and Tyrone & Lesley.

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!

Bar open from 4pm.
