Ear Trumpet Music Presents. The Schmoozenbergs

Doors 19:00 Show starts 20:00

Following on from their joyous album launch in March, on September 13th we welcome The Schmoozenbergs back for another show, this time at The Bristol Folk House. Conjuring up the mood of 1930s Paris, fused with flavours of Eastern Europe and a liberal sprinkling of high energy folk, The Schmoozenbergs’ uplifting music will put a smile on your face and a spring in your step. Influenced by a cocktail of musical traditions, from Gypsy jazz to Klezmer, Celtic, Balkan, Bristolian and beyond, they bring you a barrage of energetic and playful original compositions, bursting with irresistibly bouncy rhythms and tantalizing melodies.

Featuring the soaring fiddle playing of Gina Griffin, the masterful double bass wrangling of Ron Phelan, and the bouncing rhythm and hot lead guitars of Sam Stennett and Tom Brydon-Smith, the band formed in Bristol in 2012 and have been delighting audiences at venues and festivals across the UK for the past decade. Their new album ‘Mouse’ was released in March 2024, following on from their 2019 release ‘Awaken’.

“They have us racing around, peeking into other worlds... tapping toes and grinning from ear to ear” (Bristol 24/7)

“Unashamedly good time, beautifully played music” (Fatea Magazine)

FYI:

We have noticed an increasing number of scams / fake tickets for our events recently (especially purchased from social media). We do our best to monitor our social media pages and delete posts from scam ticket sellers, but some still manage to slip the net as we are a small team and do not have the capacity to constantly monitor all of our event pages on social media.

We never accept tickets purchased from unofficial ticket agents or social media platforms.

If an event is sold out – we can refund ticket holders wanting to return tickets provided we have a guaranteed buyer on the waiting list and it is before Friday 12pm on the weekend of the event. Therefore there is never a need to buy from anywhere except for official ticket selling sites (our website, Headfirst, Seetickets. Ticketsellers, Skiddle, TicketTailor, Eventbrite or any site that is linked on our website for the event). If in doubt, please contact us before making any purchases.
