The ace Don Kipper create a powerful sound drawing from modern electronic Romani club music and bone-deep rural folk traditions!
The band’s unique sound has become both a blazing homage to the folk cultures they love, and a fresh take on global dance music. Their brand new LP ‘Always Can’t Go On Forever’, is a collection of urgent, original songs in English and Greek which together tell of how the band have stepped away from the traditional music of their roots and towards something fresh and unexpected; music taut with an intention to meet the moment.
The album is an explosive fusion drawing equally from a constellation of dance musics emerging from across the Mediterranean, deeply rooted rural folk traditions, and a plethora of rhythms that have always powered UK dancefloors. But, it’s also more than that, it’s a fierce commentary on the challenges that society faces today. From climate change to wealth inequality and myriad forms of prejudice, these songs serve as the band’s critical lens on many of the world’s most pressing issues.
Also, our ‘Arepatoire’ kitchen is open from 6pm serving a delicious mix of Italian/Colombian food for you to enjoy a pre-gig meal/snack if you wish! Find the menu HERE!
