A multi award-winning ensemble playing a wide range of traditional musical forms reflecting the cultural diversity of North East London, Don Kipper’s music incorporates influences from Turkish and Greek Folk Musics to Romani music and Klezmer.
While they to root themselves deeply in the traditions that surround them, they also bring these musical cultures together in innovative, exciting, and unusual ways that mirror London’s vibrant, cosmopolitan energy.
Equally happy taking an intimate audience on a musical journey through Europe as they are taking their audience on a frantic journey around the dancefloor, at home both on large outdoor stages playing to a crowd of ecstatic dancers, and in indoor concert venues to a pin-drop audience.
Lead by formidable Greek-Serbian singer Dunja Botic, deploying an explosive combination of modern, electronic romani music and the London Jazz Scene’s fiercest rhythm section Don Kipper are a force to be reckoned with.
THE LANGAN BAND
Award winners at the world renowned Celtic Connections Festival, The Langan Band have toured extensively throughout the UK and Internationally, and gained themselves a large and loyal fan base along the way. Glasgow power-trio The Langan Band create a dynamic sound that is rooted in Celtic Folk but encompasses Balkan, Roma and Flamenco elements, fuelled by a visceral punk spirit.
With a deceptively stripped down line-up of vocals, guitar, fiddle, bass and percussion, The Langan Band never fail to get the crowd dancing. They are as much at home on a huge festival stage playing to thousands of people as they are playing an intimate Scottish Village Hall.
