About Me

Minnie Moosika formed on the streets of St Chartier three years ago amid all its colour and clamour...... we've performed in Spain, Ireland and Yorkshire and have appeared at Solfest, Small World, Glasson Dock, Towersery Village Festival, Beverley Folk Festival, Off The Tracks festival and the Sheffield Festival. ..As any right thinking person knows Klezmer is the white mans reggae and Minnie Moosika are one of our prime exponents. Wizzardmara, Solfest 2008The energetic and harmonious Eastern European sound of Minnie Moosika drove the crowd wild and by the end of their set there was hardly anyone not on their feet. Grimsby Telegraph, Small World 2008Minnie Moosika was definitely a highlight of the festival, and I hope you'll come back ---- again and again. Susi the organiser, Small World Festival 2007Minnie Moosika bring the darkness of a Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale to the Balkan musical table. Andy Whitehouse, Circle Arts, 2006Minnie Moosika played a late night extra .. lively and quirky Klezmer … plenty of energy and some excellent fiddle/clarinet interplay … a treat to hear.
