So finally I have made it to a performance of the
London Gypsy Orchestra. What a fun group this is! To start, saying the leader,
Gundula, has a flare for energy is an understatement. Her enthusiasm and joy for the music is undeniable. I think the motley collection of people that have come together to form this orchestra is probably a testament to the universal fun this music is. The belly dancer that performed few a few songs was a nice addition to the show. It will be interesting to see how this group grows, not in members but in being a professional act. A few mics for the instruments would have helped boost this great music into the audience more. This was their largest audience yet (if you don't count the shows they have done on BBC 3 Counties radio) and the venu was sold out so these guys are definitely developing a following...check them out!

This makes me wish I had tried harder to hear his band when I was in town. Sounds really fun.
