Ruth Steinberg is a Jewish Geordie storyteller who brings together stories from her Jewish culture and the life of her family and her husband. Chai For All (Hebrew, chai: ‘life’) is a multinational, multilingual quartet that celebrates the rich and vibrant traditions of Yiddish song and klezmer wedding and dance music.

Together they present a night of emotive stories and exuberant, distinctive music.

‘I am delighted to pair up with Chai For All for an evening of storytelling, music and song. I will be bringing to Bristol stories that take you on a journey from Newcastle upon Tyne to Krakow, Poland to the United States. There are true stories and stories that can’t be true (can they?). I am looking forward to a rich, soulful evening that will make you laugh and make you cry and leaves your heart singing.’ Ruth Steinberg

‘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
