Malarchy And Kooch

support from Kooch + screening of 'Checkpoint'
(Sat 3rd / 8pm / £5)

Come and celebrate the release of the self-titled EP from fabulous Bristol band Malarchy. Fusing original material, Klezmer, Arabic and Romani Gypsy styles with Bulgar beats in an electric live set, they are a secretive bunch whose raw emotional impact transcends cultural and national boundaries. Don't miss.
Support from celebrated Iranian roots trio Kooch, led by guitarist and poet Cyrus Khajavi. Contemplative defiant & sensual songs with rich violin and cello arrangements. Intimate, but powerful, haunting and earthy.

Plus sceening of the film 'Checkpoint' (dir. Ross Thomas). How unlucky can one man be? Why do the guards always pick on him? A short film ridiculing
international borders.

With DJ Dark Eye in the bar.
