Description

Cheeky Balkan Party music! Gypsy flavoured Ska, Dub and Swing with an infusion of soulful melodies and cheeky Eastern riffs.

On a mission to spread fun, cheekiness and crazy dancing to audiences everywhere, with their brand of Gypsy flavoured party music to put a smile on your face and your knees up in the air!

They take inspiration from a wide range of genres, primarily glued together with a passion and fascination for Balkan Gypsy music and Gypsy Jazz. The Minions love to blend all their favourite musical flavours together with a big topping of their individual personalities in the music they write together!

Originally a dictatorship formed by the cunning Mr Tea, the Minions have since overthrown him and their chaos has brought forth a musical democracy where cheekiness, fun and a love for the music bind the band together as one!

The Minions erupted onto the UK scene from summer 2014 onwards with highlights being Boomtown festival and Croatia’s Goulash Disko Festival, as well as many crazy gigs all over the UK!
The 6 members all have great chemistry that comes from strong friendship and passion for the music they write and play together!

Description

Quirky new live music, theatre and arts venue and café in the heart of Wales serving quality locally sourced, freshly made food and showcasing local talent.

We took on this amazing building with the intention of taking it back to its musical roots; re-establishing the main hall as a music venue and a cinema. The people of Rhayader have many fond memories of times spent here and we would love to create new memories for future generations.

In addition, we have plans to open a small café to nurture both the body and the spirit: it is our intention not only to offer quality food and drink, but also music and art.

We will also be offering space for rehearsal, teaching and recording as well as a workshop upstairs for use by local residents.

We are well underway with our plans and always welcome people to come and have a look around.
