London Klezmer Quartet- 10th Anniversary Special!
Wed 25th Sep, 7.45pm (doors 7pm), City Hope Church, 121 Drummond Road, Bermondsey, SE16 2JY
LKQ brings you klezmer at its most beguiling and seductive: the subtleties of the original tradition, their own inventive arrangements & original tunes, a breathtaking dynamic virtuosity, all combined with a kick-the-chairs-over ability to get you up on your feet. What these all-female original band members have created over the last decade assures that “the tradition is safe in the hands of the next generation” Sunday Times and has filled venues throughout the UK, around Australia and many countries in between several times over. Undoubtedly they’re “one of the best purveyors of the music of Eastern European Jewish heritage” ABC Radio National. Melancholy and celebratory joy abound. Come celebrate!

Karim Chaya
Wed 30th Oct, 7pm (doors 6.30pm), Finnish Church, Albion St, Rotherhithe
Karim Chaya brings us the songs of his band El Gafla, “Desert Caravan”, for this his UK debut. The seeds of his music-making were planted in the modest setting of a working-class neighbourhood of Algiers, but it was in the Bohemian culturally-mixed quarter of Ménilmontant, Paris, that he formed the band he leads, drawing on the sounds of La Mano Negra, Les Négresses Vertes, Manu Chao and Zebda, the energy of Gnawa Diffusion and the melancholic poetry of Souad Massi. With lyrics suffused with poignant emotion, more sombre dolefulness, bursting vibrancy and joyful rhythm, this intimate performance presents a taste of what you might hear wherever his Caravan passes… from cramped Parisian bars to the biggest of the international stages.
