Global Gypsy Punk Attitude.

Wild and infectious mix of Balkan brass, Middle Eastern flavours, Ska and Dance. Each member of the quintet is absurdly accomplished - and they all sing too, sometimes all at once. A Baghdaddies gig promotes a healthy increase in heart rate, inducing an irresistible urge to dance uncontrollably and smile benignly on your fellow man (and woman)

Fusion of rhythms and melodies plucked from around the world are guaranteed to raise your spirits! Festival favourites, The Baghdaddies play Balkan gypsy with Middle Eastern flavours, shades of klezmer and tango, jazz and reggae plus a touch of ska - all laced with funky dance grooves and blistering eastern brass harmonies.

Band Members:

The Baghdaddies are a hardworking band whose tunes are well known to many, both on home turf and internationally. They are equally at home playing either on stage or the street, they gig extensively in the UK and Europe, combining venues with al fresco performances. Their audiences immediately respond with warm if not frenzied reaction before leaping up to dance.

Bookings have them perform at The Sage Music Centre Launch in Gateshead, The Royal Opera House - Covent Garden and in Italy, Poland, Switzerland and Spain. Formed in 1996 and hailing from Newcastle upon Tyne, England, they are fortunate to have played their anarchic melange of traditional European and world musical styles of all eras at many major events and festivals, and have appeared on radio and TV throughout Europe.

They have released four albums acclaimed for originality and uniqueness. The baghdaddies appeal continuously expands their dedicated and growing legion of followers and casual listeners alike. No matter what the preferred genre is, fans always find a special place for music they enjoy, demand and even love. The Baghdaddies are all that and more!

Now the release of their fourth album 'KATCHYAZAFTA' and the Baghdaddies look set to eclipse the success of their award winning 3rd CD 'Random Acts of Kindness',. An an uplifting evening of musical frolic and cavortment guaranteed. don't forget your dancing shoes!
