Don Kipper are a multi award winning 7-piece ensemble playing and transforming a wide range of traditional musical forms reflecting the cultural diversity of North East London, from Turkish and Greek Folk Music to Romani music and Klezmer.

Deeply rooted in the traditional, they also explore radical re-interpretations and imaginative improvisation, equally adept at taking an intimate audience on a musical journey through Europe as taking their feet on a frantic journey around the dancefloor.

Since 2013, they have released two albums, been featured on BBC Introducing and the BBC World Service, played two European Tours, and won the titles of both the Moshe Beregovski Award for best Klezmer Newcomers and World Music Network’s Battle of the Bands.
