From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1996, the Baghdaddies are a popular festival band playing a brass-laden mix of Gypsy, Klezmer, Ska and East European influenced musical styles. Festival favourites, the Baghdaddies tour the UK and Europe extensively, and have a reputation as a band who get everyone dancing.
The Baghdaddies have released four albums, the most recent is called 'Katchyazafta' (the meaning of which is more Geordie than Balkan, i.e. "see you later"). Fans of the Baghdaddies include BBC Radio 2's Jeremy Vine, who has played several of their songs during his popular daytime radio show.
