About the show
Christian Garrick and The Budapest Café Orchestra return to Riverhouse after a four year absence - it's been way too long!
Established by award-winning British composer, violinist and teacher Christian Garrick in 2009, the refreshingly unconventional and snappily attired Budapest Cafe Orchestra redeliver gypsy and folk-flavoured music in their own fresh and surprising way. From Balkan and Russian traditional pieces to artful distillations of the Romantic masterpieces to Gaelic folk anthems their infectious music will get into your bloodstream and stay there forever.
"Not so much a band name as a whole genre of its own, Budapest Cafe Orchestra embraces an encyclopaedia of music and mischief." - SCOTSMAN
'Back by popular demand, the fiery vivacity and awe-inspiring musicianship of the finest purveyors of Eastern European gypsy music this side of a Lada scrap heap will leave you with a grin on your face and rhythm in your feet" - THE TIMES
"The Budapest Cafe Orchestra play a blistering barrage of Czardas, East European and Russian folk tunes that might have come from the Hot Club of Paris via the Orient Express!" - Brighton Argus
Featuring - Budapest Café Orchestra
The New Budapest Café Orchestra plays powerful, folk-based music, inspired by Eastern European gypsies. The Café Orchestra are Chris Garrick (violin and darbuka), Eddie Hession (free bass accordion), Kelly Cantlon (double bass) and Adrian Zolotuhin (guitar, saz, balalaika). With impassioned Hungarian Czardas, tender Russian folk melodies and rollicking dances from Romania and Moldavia.
