Enthralling audiences with their infectious energy


The Budapest Cafe Orchestra concerts have been selling out at The Swallow Theatre since 2016, and we are thrilled that they are returning again this summer.

The BCO is a music-driven phenomenon, a specialist performance-entertainment outfit, enthralling audiences everywhere with their infectious energy. They will sweep you off your feet and stay in your heart forever.

The BCO is an eclectic group who play in amazing places; a four-piece acoustically electrifying orchestra playing gypsy and folk-flavoured music from all around the world in their own fresh and surprising way with jazz nuances and their own unique arrangements.

The band was established by award-winning British composer, violinist and teacher Christian Garrick in 2009. As well as touring to unique and unusual venues across Scotland, Wales and England, they have recorded 16 albums and played live on BBC Radio Three’s In Tune.
