Well, klezmerites, it's a new year and I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and drank very much more Vodka than was good for you.
Before Christmas the members of the KK managed to schlep themselves down to the Cardiff Arts Institute where the planned Christmas Party took place in spite of the heaviest snow since last year. We shared the stage with the really quite marvellous Bristol band 'The Hats' and together managed to get the crowd warmed before they were forced to brave the sub-zero conditions once more. Many thanks to all who came!
Looking forwards, the Kollectiv are looking forward to their London debut gig at Camden's Green Note on 13th January. There are still a few advance tickets left so get 'em whilst they're hot.
In other news, the long-awaited Klezmer Kollectiv EP is soon to arrive so keep your eyes peeled and listen out for the KK on the current internet viral sensation 'Splott Division'.
In the meantime keep dancing.
Adam

Klezmer Podcast 103 - Klezmer K... The Klezmer Kollectiv are now on iTunes! LIVE AT GREEN NOTE is a live session the Kollectiv recorded last year at one of Camden's top venues. It captures the Kollectiv at their best with the energy and spontaneity that has become their trademark. You can download it from the link ... The KK recently recorded "Reviewing the Situation" from Lionel Bart's "Oliver" with Paul Kaye who, until recently, was starring in "Matilda" on the West End. We think he'd make a great Fagin.
The KK site's Music Player is currently down, apologies. We are working on getting this fixed but in the mean-time you can hear some of our tracks at www.myspace.com/klezmerkollectiv
