The Balkan Wanderers
“..adept at turning a group of random audience members into a frugging ball of euphoria” Gappy Tooth Industries
I've been drumming with the Balkan Wanderers for a few years now. We combine elements of balkan, ska, punk and pop into a high-octane experience that never fails to get people dancing.
We mix covers with some great originals - the videos below show our cover of Bella Ciao (which normally brings the audience to tears), one of our originals 'Clouds' which gives an idea of how good the songs are (cheers Stu), and then Bubamara which shows a pretty typical audience reaction: happy dancing!
Last year we played a string of festivals through the summer, supported Sheelanagig at Bossaphonik and then headlined the In a Different Place festival just before Christmas (from 12.36 on the link).
