It was great to be back in the city where the Gathering of Strangers project first began and finally get the chance to play music from the album live. Thanks for Lepe for getting it all together, Anna for working so hard on getting us all there, Daniel for VJing at short notice, and, most importantly all of  Balkan Fanatik, the Perunika Trio, Ivan Barvics  and Jim Moray for putting on such a great show. Maybe we’ll get the chance to present it again somewhere else sometime, perhaps with some of the other contributors to the album….right now, who knows.

Thanks Dorchester!!

Work is now well underway on a collaboration between TGU and the Albanian Fanfara Tirana (we could call them a brass band and they are, but they’re a lot more besides). Expect an album and tour in 2012. Check out news here…

One of the mixes from the ‘We Come To Tear Your Wall Down’ EP got a rave mention on Don Letts show (the whole show’s worth listening to!…)
