Moishe's Bagel
Monday
08/02/2010
8pm
Tickets : £13
Thrillingly original cutting-edge klezmer and folk music from some of Scotland’s finest musicians.
An intoxicating, life-affirming mix of Eastern European dance music, Middle Eastern rhythms and virtuoso performances, Moishe's Bagel bring passion, soul and irresistible energy to Jewish world music. From radical reworkings of traditional tunes to startling original compositions and improvisations, the band has established a sound which develops all the time, yet remains distinctly their own. Jumping fearlessly from uplifting beauty to magical intimacy, the Bagels are equally at home jamming in a late night jazz den, grooving at a forest festival, or enthralling an upmarket concert hall. Over the last four years the band has toured
England, Scotland, Ireland and Eastern Europe, with sell-out shows at the Edinburgh Jazz and Fringe Festivals.
"exhilarating, full-flavoured stuff, often breath-takingly intricate
but played with jubilation … the Bagel acquires the momentum of an
express train"
The Herald
“this brilliantly accomplished and adventurous five-piece emphatically
puts the "class" into "unclassifiable".
