Christian Garrick & the Budapest Cafe Orchestra in Bude
Budapest Cafe Orchestra returns to The Falcon Hotel in Bude by popular demand, led by British violinist and composer Christian Garrick. The four-piece weave together Balkan folk, Russian tradition, Gaelic anthems and Romantic classical music into something that feels entirely their own — built from violin, accordion, double bass, guitar, saz, balalaika, domra and percussion. Expect warmth, wit and serious musicianship in equal measure. The BCO's set spans continents and centuries, delivered with the kind of playfulness that keeps things light without ever shortchanging the craft. Food and drink are available at The Falcon, and there's an accommodation rate for anyone making a night of it — worth asking when you book. Bring cash for the raffle in support of a local good cause.
