Global grooves: Bohemian Nights back by popular demand at Wyreena’s Music Cafe

Bohemian Nights duo Ernie Gruner and Phil Carroll return to Wyreena’s Music Café by popular demand in a special one-night only performance this September.

The duo last performed at Wyreena in April 2017 to a sold out audience.

The masters of fiddle, mandolin, accordian and vocals will return to the stage with their lively repertoire of world music, covering the gamut of gypsy, klezmer, European, Turkish and Russian, with a generous sprinkle of jazz thrown in.

Based in Melbourne, Bohemian Nights have toured extensively throughout Australia and New Zealand, and have studied and played in Montreal, Istanbul, New York, Cracow and Budapest.

The pair, who were originally named Gypsy Nights in honour of the famous act that entertained restaurants and cafes in 1930s Budapest, have performed together for more than 20 years, playing in many high-profile Australian bands such as Yalla!, Jugularity, and Klezmeritis.

They are experienced at presenting formal concerts as they are at serenading tables and playing songs on request, or simply creating atmosphere at street festivals.

Each month on a Friday in the Conservatory Café, Wyreena hosts a musical event featuring some of Victoria’s most talented artists.

Don’t miss your chance to catch Bohemian Nights live at Wyreena, and prepare to be transported to another place and time with their incredible music.

Wyreena’s Music Café is located at Wyreena Community Arts Centre, 13-23 Hull Road, Croydon.

Bookings can be made online or phone 9294 5590. For more information on this and upcoming events, visit Arts in Maroondah.
