BAGHDADDIES

Hop onto The Baghdaddies’ magic carpet for an amazing musical trip from Newcastle, England through Eastern Europe to the Middle East. The Baghdaddies have been astounding audiences across Europe for nearly fifteen years, on stages far and wide, big and small, on the streets, in village halls, the music appeals to all…. with their eclectic fusion of Balkan gypsy songs and rhythms with funky dance grooves. Throw into the mix a little punk, jazz, reggae and ska and you have one of the most danceable bands on this or any other planet.
