REVIEWS:
'Energetic and exciting, Chai For All combine klezmer, Yiddish folk and jazz throughout their music. Making one fierce brew as a result. It’s emotive, soulful and unlike anything you’ll ever see.' Bristol24/7
'The experience was excellent from start to finish. Communication was fantastic throughout, and Marianna was supportive, thoughtful, and generous with ideas, including advice around timings and how best to shape the event. Chai for All handled all their own set-up, advised clearly on timings, and led the event with confidence and ease. Everything ran smoothly, with no issues at all.
The music itself was outstanding. These are extremely talented, high-end musicians with a real mastery of klezmer. They were not just any old klezmer band, although we would have been happy with that. This was not background music. Everything was irresistibly danceable, with rich, confident musicianship, fantastic sound quality, and a set that completely held the room. The lyrics and Yiddish were beautiful and authentic, adding real depth and meaning to the performance. They went the extra mile by learning an additional song especially for us, which meant a great deal and was hugely appreciated.
What really stood out was how the music brought everyone together. Older people left genuinely happy, reminded of songs from their childhood. Teenagers, who we half-expected to hang back or drift outside, threw themselves in completely. They joined in, learned new dances as they were being shown, and then freestyled alongside everyone else. It became a joyful, intergenerational celebration.
Our only regret was that the venue had a strict time limit because another event followed. Otherwise, we would have been calling for encores. The music was just that good. We had so many compliments afterwards, and they truly made our day.
We cannot wait for another family occasion as an excuse to book them again. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it, and you would not regret booking them.' Moishe M, private client
'We saw Chai For All last Wednesday at the Lansdown and had a fabulous night. Wonderful music to bring joy to any day.
Marianna is a charismatic lead singer, beautiful to listen to. Looking forward to seeing them again and if I have a party at any point I will definitely be booking them.' Victoria Bourne, musician and vocal coach
‘You created a joyful atmosphere and everyone left smiling.’ Amaia Emmerson, events manager, People's Republic of Stokes Croft.
'I could have been in Prague, Berlin or Warsaw. Very un-Bristol. We came in for a beer and it kept us here.' Ben M, audience member
'Great night tonight at The Rope Walk enjoying 'Chai For All'. If you get a chance to see them you are guaranteed not only great musicianship but some good banter with the audience between numbers from the lead singer, well worth spending the time in their company.'
