Description

The music of Beskydy has its roots in the dance rhythms and songs of Moravia, Bohemia and Slovakia, through whose lands the Beskydy mountains run – hence the name. They have expanded their repertoire to embrace the music of the Hungarian plains, the Danube basin and all the way down to the Black Sea, the souks and coffee-houses of Istanbul and across the sea to the bordellos of Odessa.

Biography

Beskydy have performed at The Purcell Room, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank, at Harrow Arts Centre and have played several Ignite Series concerts at the Cafe Consort, The Royal Albert Hall, and have enjoyed providing Foyer Music at The National Theatre and The Royal Festival Hall.

Beskydy - Other Band / Group - Hackney, London Event Location: London Event Type: bar mitzvah 10th January 2026

"Dan and the Beskydy band, you made our celebration so much fun and memorable. From the start, you answered every query promptly and were so accommodating to all our needs. We only had the hall for such a short time and you played for as long as you could. You saw when the guests needed upbeat music and when we needed a rest! Thank you so much for giving so much energy and warmth to the party, everyone loved it so much and the music was so beautiful and created the perfect atmosphere. "

Beskydy - Other Band / Group - Hackney, London Event Location: Bromley Event Type: Theatre 24th July 2025

"Beskyd Band brought an extraordinary energy and authenticity to the opening night of Fiddler on the Roof on 24th July 2025 at the Churchill Theatre. Their spirited playing and rich, klezmer-inspired sound created the perfect atmosphere for the production, drawing the audience immediately into the world of the story. The depth of feeling in their performance – by turns joyous and poignant – lifted every scene and added immeasurably to the impact of the show. We received countless comments from our audience praising the band’s musicianship and stage presence. It was a privilege to have Beskyd Band as part of our opening night, and we very much look forward to welcoming them back in the future."

"Beskyd Band’s performance at the Cambridge Botanic Gardens Summer Festival as part of Cambridge Summer Music on 16 July 2025 was nothing short of unforgettable. They drew the largest crowd of the entire festival, with over 1,500 people gathered on the lawns. Within moments, more than half the audience were up on their feet, dancing with infectious energy to the band’s vibrant rhythms. Their blend of musicianship and joyful stage presence turned the gardens into a living celebration, leaving an extraordinary impression on everyone present. A highlight of the summer."
