Meal Deal - A Taste of Russia
Koshka return to The Stables after the enthusiastic response to their Russian Winter & Gypsy Fire tour in 2008. The trio are Russian violinist Oleg Ponomarev alongside Scottish guitarist Nigel Clark and Russian guitarist Drazen Djerek, playing vibrant, enthralling music, brimming with dazzling skill, wit and innovation. Most of the music is written by Oleg and clearly shows his gypsy heritage, but also includes elements reminiscent of hot-club, classical, jazz and Balkan music, as Koshka take gypsy music to increasingly dizzy heights of invention and creativity. Their combination of conservatoire rigour, wild gypsy flair, abundant technical ability and passionate performance creates breathtaking music.
