The Commissar continues to pledge:
UK debut of French Roma band Gadjologie, Angelina and the Gipsy Punks, Bow Mods, Zoe Klinger's Friends of Gagarin, Lenin's Talkin' Blues project, and Mishka the Bear, Max Reinhardt & Misha Maltsev sweating it out in the Gypsy Diskoteka til' the road of excess has led us to the place of wisdom.
