In 2010 we were invited by the British Council in Serbia to perform at the 50th trumpet festival of ..Guca... An amazing experience - see blog for more info... .. We have recently recorded on Polina Skovorada's new album ..Civilisation... CD available from ....www.polinashepherd.co.uk ...... ..Merlin Shepherd.. specialises in Eastern European Jewish instrumental folk music.

Other members of the band have twice visited ..Zece Prajini, Romania.., to learn from members of ..Fanfara Ciocarlia... The whole group has had lessons from King ..Naat Veliov.. and the Original Kocani Orkestar. Other members have visited the ..Amala Summer School.. in Valjevo and ..Belgrade, Nis and Vladicin Han.. to study with Serbian Roma brass players. We arranged a workshop with musicians from the ..Boban Markovic Orkestar.. during their recent tour of the UK. .. Fanfara plays festivals, arts centres, weddings, funerals, parades, parties, clubs and pubs, pretty much anywhere with a bar and a crowd – you might even catch us busking in the North Laine area of Brighton on a sunny day. .. We encourage you throw money while we’re busking – but it is important to wrap the coins in paper money, so that the instruments don’t get scratched. .. ..Get in touch on ....info@fanfara.co.uk.... or +44(0)1273 688 555 to say hello, book us, buy our CD or catch us playing. -
