World-class klezmer musician Polina Shepherd and the
Brighton and Hove-based Chutzpah Choir perform Jewish folk
songs in Yiddish, Hebrew, Russian and Ukrainian,
plus niggunim,
the age-old Jewish ‘songs without

Damh is a modern-day bard who expresses his spirituality

Pagan traditions, his performances weave a tapestry of myth
