Gypsy

Drawing from musical influences including Eastern European folk, rock'n'roll, and blues to name a few, The Gypsy Switch are a Brighton based street band providing an eclectic mix of original and covered material from the likes of The Doors and Daniel Johnston.

His technique and suppleness are amazing, his music refreshing, not the standard tunes that are often heard in this genre.
