Guaranteed to cure lockdown blues, the Klezmer Rebs are back on stage in Wellington on Saturday 14 November at the Polish Xmas Market in Newtown.

Eager to get those tuchases shaking, the Rebs bring their Eastern European vibe in a return to live performance at the annual Polish market with their first set of the year (since playing the Taupo Jazz Festival in January).

Catch the Rebs set Saturday afternoon (time to be confirmed) the 14^th of November at Dom Polski 257 Riddiford Street (corner Rhodes), Newtown, Wellington.

Hello Klezmer Reb fans/supporters/friends/groupies

If CubaDupa hadn’t been cancelled the Klezmer Rebs would be on stage today and roaming on Cuba Street spreading our klezmer nachas (joy).

But Oy Vey there’s this thing out there.  So, Nu? The antidote is here!
