Moscow Meets Fishguard

Aberjazz is bringing Moscow Drug Club to Theatr Gwaun, Fishguard,  on Friday 26 June.

It describes the band as “an intoxicating musical ensemble where Berlin cabaret, Hot Club de France, tango, gypsy jazz, French musette, Latin grooves and New Orleans swing meet and mingle. Their sound blends original material with songs by Jacques Brel, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Eartha Kitt and Bertolt Brecht, creating a rich, theatrical atmosphere that feels both vintage and vividly alive.

“Fronted by the charismatic Katya Gorrie, the band delivers performances described as evocative, wry, intimate and wonderfully entertaining. Katya’s background in theatre, dance and classical and jazz vocals gives her a striking stage presence; she has toured widely across North America, Europe and the UK and has recorded multiple albums.”

Jonny Bruce, a Bristol‑based trumpeter known for his fiery, virtuosic playing, has performed internationally with artists across jazz, funk and soul, and is musical director of the Bristol Community Big Band.

Mirek Salmon, an accomplished bandoneonist, accordionist and pianist, has performed with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Welsh National Opera and the Royal Shakespeare Company, and composes for television and theatre.

Andy Crowdy, bassist, composer and multi‑instrumentalist, brings both rhythmic drive and flashes of virtuosity, drawing on a career that includes work with leading UK jazz artists.

Will Edmunds, guitarist and singer, adds swing, warmth and versatility, with a background spanning jazz, blues, country and extensive touring.

Tickets £15 – with discount of £2.50 for Aberjazz Members.
