The Budapest Cafe Orchestra

The Budapest Cafe Orchestra is a music-driven phenomenon, a specialist performance-entertainment outfit, enthralling audiences everywhere with their infectious energy. They will sweep you off your feet and stay in your heart forever.

The ever-popular four-piece music sensation return for another fabulous concert. Led by Christian Garrick, one of the world’s most celebrated jazz violinists, we are honoured that the band are choosing to return to The Swallow Theatre as part of their autumn tour of Scotland.

The BCO is an eclectic group who play in amazing places; a four-piece acoustically electrifying orchestra playing gypsy and folk-flavoured music from all around the world in their own fresh and surprising way with jazz nuances and their own unique arrangements.

The band was established by award-winning British composer, violinist and teacher Christian Garrick in 2009. As well as touring to unique and unusual venues across Scotland, Wales and England, they have recorded 16 albums and played live on BBC Radio Three's In Tune.

"Not so much a band name as a whole genre of its own, Budapest Cafe Orchestra embraces an encyclopaedia of music and mischief." - The Scotsman

"The fiery vivacity and awe-inspiring musicianship of the finest purveyors of Eastern European gypsy music this side of a Lada scrap heap will leave you with a grin on your face and rhythm in your feet" - The Times
