Event information
Friday night at Jamboree with Balkan brass party-starters the Trans-Siberian March Band - a colourful explosion of flamboyant, high-octane performances and musical miscellany! Expect riotous Balkan, Gypsy and Turkish tunes, up-tempo Russian drinking songs and even upper-tempo Klezmer, with a hint of hip hop and Latin for good measure!
The band are a fearsome blend of brass, reeds, percussion, guitar and vocals. Highlights from their strange and wonderful history include shows at Glastonbury, Bestival, WOMAD, Royal Albert Hall, Kensington Palace and more, as well as recording at Abbey Road and Air Studios. They have recently returned from a short tour to France for Les Fanfaronnades Festival, where they played with nearly 100 other brass bands from around Europe.

In support, Piotr Jordan & Charlie Wheatley are a London-based fiddle and guitar duo exploring Balkan and Manouche traditions. They are both part of the band Dunajska Kapelye and have played together for nearly a decade. Their music blends driving rhythm with improvisation, drawing from years of collaboration and a shared interest in folk and swing traditions.
