By Caroline King - January 24, 2012Posted in : Music

Where: Old Chapel Community Centre, Cross Houses, Shropshire SY5 6JH

£: Adults 10 & children 5

What is it?

The New Budapest Café Orchestra play powerful and driving folk-based music from Eastern Europe, inspired by the music of European gypsies. Comprising five players of violins, guitar, accordion, double bass, saz & balalaika the New Budapest Café Orchestra plays an impassioned but often tender mixture of Hungarian Czardas, Russian and Ukrainian folk songs and dances from Romania and Bulgaria, as well as their own electrifying compositions. The music evokes vivid images of Tzigane fiddle maestros, Budapest café life and gypsy campfires.  Booking is reccommended.
