Featuring graduates of Birmingham Conservatoire The Destroyers “is a 15-piece outfit of exceptional technical quality which plays a rich blend of Balkan folk music, jazz, Celtic and other influences. With an instrumental palette that includes fiddles, brass, clarinet, electric and acoustic guitars, accordion and hurdy-gurdy, the band is a musical whirlwind which has sucked in a number of musicians already well-known on the Birmingham scene…” (Birmingham Post).

A Thousand and One Nights is the culmination of their recent collaboration with Gurcharan Mall and his great force of drummers ‘The Dhol Blasters’. The show will feature a specially commissioned work for acclaimed guest vocalist Sanchita Pal and dancer Akash Odedra, building towards an epic Destroyers’ Bollywood-flavoured finale: a riotous carnival of music, film and dance!

Supported by Sampad and Birmingham Jazz.
