Dance of Delight: THE MATZOS & Peter Deadman

Brighton’s Matzos play kicking klezmer - wild, soulful eastern European melodies, infused with latin, arabic and celtic grooves. Exhilarating melodies tied to a driving beat are guaranteed to lift the spirit and get audiences on their feet. The Matzos offer a wild mix of music traditions – a new musical cultural fusion – with a primary focus on dance music and celebration. The Matzos have an impeccable record of getting audiences dancing until they drop. There is something about the driving ska-like beats of klezmer, the soul-wrenching minor melodies that transform into the emotional release of major passages and the infectious mixture of musical genres that lifts and delights audiences. And the light-hearted and fun style of the Matzos particularly encourages dancers to forget about whether they look good on the dance floor, throw self-consciousness to the winds, and just have a great time.

The Matzos are

Nigel Fingers: accordion

Peter Deadman: violin

Dave Lightning Lacey: drums & percussion

Mark Pointing: guitar

Mr. Smith double bass
