Unapologetically complex and joyful, The Destroyers have been colliding world musics for nearly twenty years with their musical roots come from the same Birmingham soil as Shambala.

Their behemothic sound is a cacophony of klezmer, Balkan and British folk. With twelve truly exceptional musicians, their explosive and virtuosic live show needs to be seen to be believed.

Fiddles, whirlwinds of woodwinds, braying brass, a raucous rhythm section, and salvos from the sousaphone destroy inhibitions and leave audiences bewildered, transported, beguiled, and wild.

‘And so, out of the inane cavalcade of Balkan Gypsy sound-alikes comes a blow-your-mind original.

"The Destroyers take no prisoners, they’ll make you into a convert, no mistake. Unreservedly recommended."

"Minimum pretence and maximum style"
