London based band looking for musicians
Red Hot Gypsy Fever from the UK have issued the following:
We are an established London based Balkan Gypsy band looking for 2-3 musicians to take our line-up back up to 7. We are looking for a new violinist, a bass player (and posibly an acordion as well).
We have regular gigs and are looking to expand our current repertoire of material by bringing people into the band who love this style of music but who also want to experiment with some new types of gypsy fusion.
Red Hot Gypsy Fever are a seven-piece, live Gypsy folk band based in London. Fusing their Balkan and Anglo-Saxon heritage, they draw inspiration from diverse musical backgrounds including classical, jazz, and folk to create a unique sound all of their own. We play Romany gypsy tunes, traditional Balkan folk, Russian Gypsy Romance, etc. At the moment we are looking to expand our repertoire and experiment with new original compositions and create some new types of gypsy fusion.
