See event details

A gig held at The Jam Jar on Thursday 2nd September. The event starts at 20:00.


International legends The Turbans bind together musics from ‘manywhere’ with their interstellar live show which ignites the crowd. Sonically huge and visually arresting, they are a powerhouse of talent, bringing their vibrant and unique sound to audiences who can do nothing more than smile, dance and shout for joy. Growing from the intertwining paths of many talented musicians travelling the world, this extraordinary project has grown in a few years from very humble beginnings, into a progressive name on the London music scene. Its members have gathered from countries such as Turkey, Bulgaria, Israel, Iran, Greece and England to perform in concerts and festivals around the UK, North America, Middle-East, Hong Kong, India and Europe. Their aim is to bring music to the people, young and old alike, mixing vibrant spontaneity and authenticity with multi-genre instrumental and vocal excellence.

“The Turbans are a stomping ensemble that sound like Eastern Europe swinging the Middle East around by the arm in the middle of a raucous party.” Songlines

Opa Rosa plays a collection of the energetic and vibrant sounds of Klezmer, Gypsy and Balkan music. With a lineup of violin, accordion, clarinet and double bass we will take you on a journey through the Balkans, Greece and beyond. Bringing you a collection of lively Eastern music learnt first-hand from masters of their traditions, let Opa Rosa’s joyful dances and soaring melodies take you to far away lands...
