Gypsy - it!

 Event Reports:

Jan 15: opening event at the Round Chapel, Clapton

Saturday's ‘Gypsy-It!’ event, organised by the London Gypsy Orchestra and funded by Grassroots Grants, was a delight for all involved. The Round Chapel in Clapton was bustling with local residents, and people of all ages enjoyed the acts, joined in the jam session, and danced joyfully to the music. We were very lucky to see virtuoso performances from Gypsy musicians Ricardo Marek and Benjamin Czureja from the Romany Diamonds, and had stunning recitals from members of the LGO, and wonderful dancing demonstrations by Janna Eliot and Gosia.
