On February 6th in Lemon Tree from 6.30 pm will perform ‘Zywiolak‘. Since 2005, they have been consistently working on rediscovering new Slavic folk music. Thanks to them, we learned about “Polish neofolk”. We learned about this extremely digestible genre from the European models of their “innovative folk music ” – from Scandinavia and other European countries, which takes full advantage of Polish cultural heritage. They take us on a journey through the pre-Christian times of Eastern and Western Europe. ‘Zywiolak’ was the first one to dust off the subject of Slavic mythology in an absolutely uncompromising way.

On February 12th, the only such gig in the UK. ‘Organek’ at Lemon Tree, Aberdeen, doors 7.30 pm

support Barber Q

ØRGANEK is well recognized and widely awarded in Poland. The raw garage sound along with the literary talent of the leader allowed Organek to quickly achieve the widely commented success. He has platinum albums, awards in the music industry, he combines his literary talent with being a musician. In 2021, Organek released two new albums. ‘We will be saved by the love’ commemorating the 77th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising 44′ and their latest: ‘For now, I stand, for now, I look’ introducing a new and modern sound. Tomasz Organek has recently established his position as a writer. His debut novel ‘The Theory of Mastering Fear’ was published at the beginning of 2019 in Poland.

Barber Q our local talent will meet and play before our star. In December 2021, they released their debut single ‘Dynamite’, the band has been playing since 2017 and their concerts are enjoyable.
