“These musicians represent a culture of reinvention as defiant and hopeful as the music itself.” 

–Song Lines magazine

In the UK they have performed at Purcell Room, Royal Festival Hall, Royal Albert Hall, St David’s Hall as part of the Proms, King’s Place, as well as more intimate venues such as the Green Note, Vortex and the Forge, London. The musicians are also the founding members and at the heart of the Rebetiko Carnival, a biannual, one month festival in June with Rebetiko music at its heart. They are dedicated to exposing this treasured music to as many people as possible as well as carrying out outreach work in schools, special needs communities, hospitals and prisons.
