During the period of lockdown, Klezmer-ish dived head first into online technology and continued making music digitally from their homes. Now, for this special performance, they bring songs from ‘The Lockdown Songbook’, as well as tracks from their new album ‘Dusty Road’, also released during the 2020 lockdown.

Join them in celebrating their return to live performance.

This performance takes place as part of Synagogue Nights, a wonderful season of intimate events happening at Manchester Jewish Museum.
