Gypsy Dreams are a duo specialising in folk music from around Europe and beyond, plus material from the classical repertoir. We have played many types of event and can expand our lineup when the occasion requires it. We play guitar and violin, and also clarinet, banjo and viola.
Mostly functions for people who are not religious but want a different flavour music, or non-orthodox Jewish people seeking to reconnect with their heritage.

Full PA and some lighting.
Yes.
Will depend on the line-up but can fit in quite a small space if required.
We are able to learn most thing by agreement :-)
We agree this with the client. 2 x 45 mins, 2 x 1 hour sets with a single break is common but we can play 3 hours straight, say for a ceilidh-type event where the band get a rest between tunes as the caller is explaining the next dance. We can discuss this and are keen to please the client.
We are normally a six-piece band but can include a wonderful Jewish singer if required. We can also provide smaller ensembles down to a duo.
We play many Klezmer standards, including Hava Nagila, Tanz Tanz Yiddelekh, Khosen Kalem Mazel Tov, and all the tunes necessary for a Jewish celebration. We can also do some celtic/ceilidh material for variety.
