Description

A highlight for PierFest 2023. A night to celebrate three decades of music by The Ukrainians. Expect an exciting set with the best songs from three decades of Eastern Folk Punk.
Using their British born Ukrainian roots, the band mix eastern and western culture ? singing in Ukrainian, using eastern ethnic instruments, but backed up with a western rock rhythm.
After three decades of recording and touring, there are lots of milestones to highlight.

The Ukrainians were formed in 1991, the year Ukraine regained its independence from the Soviet Union. 'Oi Divchino' was the band?s first single, which became an NME Single of the Week, and the video for it was shot in Kyiv. It was the first pop video to be produced in the east for a western band.

Most recently, The Ukrainians have been involved in numerous benefit gigs to raise money for refugees from this terrible war. There will be an opportunity to support refugees at the gig both financially, and by cheering on the artist who support on the night.

You can expect to hear songs from each of The Ukrainians? albums, and this is sure to be an eastern night to remember!
