Eastern European folk music performed by a sharp, London-based ensemble of international musicians playing a wide array of instruments. Expertly performed with lots of style, energy, and flash. Not a bad tune in the bunch but these were especially good:

1. Upbeat dance w/toe-tapping percussion, great clarinet/violin.
2. Crazy fast dance. A tour de force for all. Yowzers!
3. A Greek gypsy tune. Fast w/sharp perc/strings wacky good.
6. Brassy mid/upbeat dance w/an elegant, yet fun, sound.
8. Happy, happy! A bright, cheerful, upbeat and totally festive dance.
9. Tripping fast w/a unusual metre. Great fun.
11. Lively and charming upbeat dance. Bright and great fun.
13. Starts slow, gets into a lively Balkan-infused folk tune.
14. Kitschy fun, upbeat and quirky. You’ll smile.
16. Fast and giddy w/funny lyrics about being a wedding band.
(Lyrics include “grab some ass”)
