The group presents a rich musical journey that spans the Roaring ’20s and ’30s, the darker corners of Europe, and the gates of Byzantium, bringing it all firmly into the 21st century with a repertoire drawn from both sides of the Atlantic.

Alongside this, the band has crafted original compositions infused with Balkan, Latin, and other global influences—along with a few unexpected modern twists.

The result is a lush, atmospheric sound delivered through sumptuous vocals, strings, and reeds, woven together in a hypnotic Gypsy jazz style.

The group has just released its debut album, TOLKA HOT CLUB, now available on Bandcamp and all major streaming platforms.

The album was featured as “Album of the Week” by Marty Whelan on RTÉ Lyrics Fm
