Quotes
“..a most remarkable band fronted by ...Sarah Bedak – as exotic a flower as you are ever likely to see behind a microphone.
To say the sound is infectious doesn’t quite express it...they have people of all ages (and believe me, I saw it) hurling themselves through the air, across the dance floor, inventing moves on the spot, hugging each other with a passion ... I’ve seen bands of all shade play, but I can’t recall seeing anything quite like this! Yes it is gypsy but there are also dollops of Spanish flamenco, Russian, Greek – indeed the music of anyone who likes to party. ”
Glenn A Baker 8 July 2017
