A gig held at The Jam Jar on Wednesday 19th March. The event starts at 19:00.


The critically acclaimed modern super-quintet and their electrified, highly danceable Turkish psych sound comes to Bristol.

Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek's fresh approach combines Anatolian folk and contemporary grooves alongside a sprinkling of psychedelia and progressive rock flavours.

Led by Derya Yıldırım’s hypnotizing bağlama and vocals, her international band of brothers and sisters draws a meaningful continuity between Turkish folk traditions and their original songwriting to create a strong, dancefloor-friendly sonic identity and irresistible energy.

Entry requirements: 18+
