We are a collection of musicians from the Birmingham Area, who have taken an interest in East European Music, in particular Balkan, Gypsy and Klesmer Music.

We think our music is of a consistantly high standard, both technically and spiritually, in fact we reckon it might even be better than our biography-writing skills. Furthermore, it appears to be the sort of music which makes people jump around, stamp loudly upon the floor, utter impromtu exclamations along the lines of 'oi oi oi oi', clap their hands in the air like they just don't care, and related celebratory activities too numerous to enumerate here.

A brief introduction to our operative philisophy:

"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life"

"Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence"

"Music is the poetry of the air"

"Eagles may soar in the clouds, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines"

"All generalizations are bad"
