> transformed into a salon befitting the former splendour and flourishing
> Yiddish culture of this great, crumbling aristocratic city in the Ukraine. 
>
> Balkan and Mediterranean rhythms coupled with Transylvanian folk song and
> Bulgarian melodies courtesy of the seven-piece Mukka make for a wild night of
> acoustic and infectious music. Marked out by John Peel as the sensation of
> Glastonbury,¹ Mukka were recent stars of his eclectic Radio 1 sessions.

> In the bar, the flamboyant masters of European Gypsy dance, music and song,
> Gypsy Voices featuring the dazzling showmanship of Ricardo Czureja on violin.
> The group provides a platform for Romany dancers and musicians to showcase
> their cultural heritage in a frenzy of folk dance and song from across
> Europe. 
>
> The incredible, eighty-six years young Majer Bogdansky presents solo material
> from his recent debut album Yiddishe Lider (JMHR CD017) During his
> performance, this violinist and singer, from a shtetl near Lodz in Poland,
> evokes the charm of this distant musical landscape with exuberance. 
>
> With visuals, film, djs, live music, dancers and raucous fun 
>
> Naming the Golem ­ a European Meltdown is supported by the European
> Association for Jewish Culture and JPR.

> Naming the Golem is Yad's regular multi-media club night in central London,
> with live music, DJs, installations, performance artists, and visuals.
> Inspired by the name of a being without soul, the golem was a creature made
> from sticks, stones and bones who only came to life through music, words and
> dance. Yad's Naming the Golem nights seek to breathe new life into the golem.

>  Previous nights described as 'nights of radical Jewish music' (The Guardian)
