About the show
This show was rescheduled from 27th November 2025.
Join us for an evening of stories and songs that cover the career of 'The Ukrainians'. In a cabaret style environment you'll experience a rare insight into how the band was formed and its remarkable achievements as the world's first, international Ukrainian folk rock band.
Featuring - The Ukrainians
Has the bizarre ever birthed such talent? An offshoot of indie fuzz-rocksters The Wedding Present (which started as them doing a session for John Peel in Ukrainian as a joke), the Ukrainians are now an established outfit in their own right. With a growing audience here and a large following in Europe (including the Ukraine), their blend of Ukrainian folk and western rock is spellbinding.
