Booking information
She’Koyokh return as a quartet this August! We can't wait to welcome them back as part of our open-air summer season.
She’Koyokh are a virtuosic, versatile and prize-winning band playing klezmer and traditional music from Eastern Europe, the Balkans and beyond. Their name is a Yiddish word meaning 'nice one!' and they’ve been hailed as “one of the finest and most entertaining British-based exponents of global music” (The Guardian). A live force to be reckoned with, they’re a wild swirl of violin, accordion and dance-inducing bass and percussion.
They were awarded first prize in the 2008 International Jewish Music Festival in Amsterdam and have been shortlisted twice for Best Group in the Songlines World Music Awards. They have received 5-star reviews for their albums from Songlines, fROOTS, the Evening Standard and the Guardian and performed in venues from the Concertgebouw and the Queen Elizabeth Hall to Glastonbury and WOMAD festivals. She’Koyokh are regulars to BBC Radio 3 and in 2019 composed and performed a prelude to Mahler’s 1st Symphony with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.
Performers
Booking information
This performance will take place on the Tea Lawn at the back of Lauderdale House.
If you would like to sit together, please book together, as spaces will be assigned based on your order.
Chairs will not be provided so please bring either a picnic blanket or a chair to make yourself comfortable. Audience members with chairs will be seated behind those on the ground to make sure that everyone has a good view. If you are booking as a group, the whole group will need to be on chairs or on blankets, rather than a mixture of the two.
We have a limited number of picnic tables and benches (see map below) available as group tickets – book these early to avoid disappointment.
If you have a disability or any special requirements please get in touch with us so that we can best accommodate you.
Weather
The performance will continue regardless of the weather unless unsafe. Please plan for all eventualities and remember to bring a waterproof layer and a warm jumper. We prefer waterproofs to umbrellas because umbrellas can obstruct views. Don’t forget that if you are on a blanket the ground may be wet so make sure you have a blanket with a waterproof side or bring aplastic sheet. There are no refunds for shows cancelled due to the weather.
Food and Drink
The cafe/bar will be open selling light snacks and drinks before the performance starts and during the interval.
You are also welcome to bring your own picnic to enjoy on the Tea Lawn as you watch the performance.
