As one of the UK’s leading original covers acts, the Gypsies of Bohemia Trio pride themselves on having written at least half of their complete catalogue of original cover versions. Something of a paradox? Well, that sums these guys up. This tight-knit trio of musically literate, well-groomed individuals can bring a party like no other, with their inventive and superbly crafted renditions of popular contemporary songs from the modern era.
Fronted by the phenomenal vocalist Martin Connor, and driven by Jim Wallace on guitar and Andrzej Baranek on piano, expect all your all-time guilty-pleasure bangers given the gypsy treatment… A mix of classic gypsy jazz and popular covers twisted into something unmistakably theirs.
Here’s an idea what to expect from the gig. Please note that this will be a trio performance (not the full band shown here):

The debut 2024 Pat Fulgoni Blues Experience album has received considerable acclaim, a no 3 in the UK blues airplay charts and a nomination in the UK Blues Awards. Already with European dates under their belts “Blues in Britain” writes ‘its a blues set to cherish… Pat and co just do them so well” Reviewing 2024’s Tenby Blues Festival, Blues Matters Mag said: “There then followed an entirely different style and set of full throttle funky electric blues led by Pat Fulgoni and his Blues Experience. With a full on five piece band Fulgoni’s powerful vocal delivery worked wonders as he pushed the boat out with a confidence that highlighted this band’s importance in the growing blues world in the UK.”
In his time Pat has sung across many genres and worked with festival headlining producers from Zion Train to Camo & Krooked, London Electricity to Murdock to Coldcut and a range of weird and wonderful sounds including with Jeff Buckley / Capt Beefheart guitarist Gary Lucas (NYC) as well as touring the world as a live artist and as part of Huddersfield band Kava Kava. But it’s truly magical when he sings the blues especially when backed by the stunning musicianship of this band featuring talented musicians including Jacob Beckwith on guitar, Jaden Hart on bass, Charlie Isaac on keys and Dylan Sluiter on drums. Billboard Magazine “Fulgoni could sing a pearl from its oyster”. They ain’t wrong and Blues Matters adds “completely blown away because he can sing, I mean really sing, ridiculously well”
