Bohemian Nights

Ernie Gruner (violin, mandolin, vocals) and Phil Carroll (vocals, accordion, ney) play Gypsy, Klezmer, French, Italian, Russian, Middle-Eastern, jazz and tango music ranging from soulful to wild.

They’ve played festivals around Australia and New Zealand, studied in Montreal, Istanbul, New York, Cracow and Budapest, and recorded 2 CDs. Seven NZ tours included Wellington International Arts Festival, the Christchurch Jazz Festival, and the Wellington and Dunedin Folk Festivals.

"Loads of enthusiasm, brilliant musicality." - Director, Wellington Folk Festival

For this night, they’ll be joined by David Krycer (double-bass, vocals), who also plays with them in Klezmeritis, and assorted jazz gigs.
