Get a load of Triptic: a solid gold Soundhouse favourite 🌟 Join us at @traversetheatre.bsky.social tomorrow for a sizzling #gig to end the working week, a spellbinding fusion of tango, klezmer and folk-inspired originals. ▶️ www.youtube.com/watch 🎟️ www.soundhouse.org.uk/events/tript

Triptic showreel

TRIPTIC is the fantastic new trio from Greg Lawson (Grit Orchestra), Phil Alexander (Firelight Trio), and Mario Caribé (Playtime). Three members of Scotland's brilliantly unclassifiable world/folk band Moishe's Bagel come together in a new project. Dramatic tango meets joyful klezmer and folk-infused originals, wrapped up in irresistible jazz and latin grooves. Violin, piano, bass, mandolin, accordion, guitar...It's virtuoso musicianship with a whole lot of soul. This new incarnation gives the group's three driving forces a chance to explore diverse and uncharted musical pathways, bringing their unique energy and passion to a whole new set of original compositions, as well as setting their sights on music from Armenia to Sao Paolo - with many richly melodic stops along the way. Featuring the firebrand fiddle and mandolin playing Greg Lawson, deep bass groover Mario Caribe, and world music magpie Phil Alexander on piano and accordion.
