Folk Bands and Artists
Balamuc
Balamuc are a unique collective of experienced musicians, with seven members from countries in Europe, the Middle East and the Pacific.
Their music originates from Eastern Europe but stretches way beyond the usual confines of their genre. They aren’t afraid to step into new territory (from Romania to Hungary via Transylvania!)
Although renowned for their fierce violin and heartfelt melodies, Balamuc are best known as their life affirming, uplifting party spirit and boundless energy. The 7-piece band features Agnes Branner on violin and vocals, Marie Faucher on clarinet, Alison Geasure on cello, Jon Clayton on double bass, Luke Tremlett on guitar, Semra Bulut on darbuka and Seppi on drums.
Balamuc has established itself as one of the leading Gypsy folk bands on the live scene today. With the name translating to “house of the insane’, don’t expect to stay in your seat!
