‘THE UKRAINIANS’ GIG – COMING SOON

Ukrainian fusion band The Ukrainians (they were the first band to fuse western rock music with Ukrainian folk) are playing in Brighton as part of Pier Fest 2023. They have been playing and touring since 1991.

Guitarist Peter Solowka of 80s band ‘The Wedding Present’ instigated the forming of the band when they decided to make one of their sessions for the BBC’s John Peel Show a Ukrainian one.  Peter’s friend ‘The Legendary Len’ was bought in because he sang, played a scratchy, authentic village-sounding violin plus was a student of Slavonic languages.  The group recorded the first BBC session which was duly broadcast.

The gig is on Saturday, October 14th, 2023 at Horatio’s Bar, on Brighton Palace Pier.

Doors open 7.30pm
