Klezmatics end European tour with a big
splash gig at Simcha on the Square
We are delighted to announce that the Klezmatics have just agreed to
come to KlezFest following a short tour of Europe. They were originally
going to fly back to the States on that Sunday, but once they knew that
Simcha on the Square was on, decided to divert to London en Route. Two
of the members of the band will be making a quick dash for the airport
immediately after playing in order to get back to New York for other
commitments. So all in all, Simcha and London is pretty lucky and very
happy to have the Klezmatics here!

Young, Trendy and Jewish
Jewish Culture is becoming in vogue (its the new Asian!) and Simcha
will feature a number of upcoming acts who use their Jewish roots to
inspire their music. Max Pashm, a DJ and producer, will
be appearing at Simcha with tracks from his new, cleverly titled album
Never Mind The Balkans which features Jewish and Eastern Meditteranean
sounds over hefty dance beats. We also have Avivit Caspi,
a London-based Israeli and her band playing original pop/folk ballads.
You might have heard her last year singing Hatikvah for the Israel/England
game - what a voice! And we have another surprise artist, to be confirmed
soon.
