Cellar Upstairs folk club: Klezmer Klub

The Klezmer Klub have been playing freylekhs, bulgars, horas, hongas, sers and other eastern European dance tunes since 1989. Although the dances and songs came out of poverty and oppression, they contain joy, exhilaration and wit alongside the sadness, anger and defiance. While respecting the tradition of the bitter-sweet sound that is klezmer, the band brings them to life from their own perspective of modern life in London, with all the inter-cultural mixing that goes with it; http://klezmerklub.co.uk
The Cellar is London’s longest-running folk club; it’s a weekly, non-profit club, run on a voluntary basis, now meeting on Monday nights. We have professional guests every week, supported by resident singers and musicians, and performers from the floor.
