Ruth Steinberg is a story weaver, bringing together stories from her Jewish culture, the life of her family and her husband. Using personal stories, folktales and Yiddish songs, she takes you on a journey that will make you laugh and cry.
Ruth was born a Jewish Geordie in 1952 in Newcastle upon Tyne. Some say she is a clown, a storyteller, a musician. She says she is passionate about using creativity to touch, transform and show the absurdities we live in and with.
'Storyteller Ruth Steinberg weaves words and stories together to create a translucent textile through which we can glimpse extraordinary things.' Lifelore Institute Wimbledon.
Chai For All (Hebrew chai ‘life’) is a multinational, multilingual ensemble touring middle eastern and Jewish music sets and music & spoken word performances both nationally and internationally. Its concerts celebrate the rich Yiddish song and klezmer wedding and dance traditions. Its two most recent music and storytelling shows explored the 1917 Balfour Declaration that led to the creation of the State of Israel (Longing, Belonging & Balfour), and the Palestinians' connection to their land (Our Homeland Lives in Us: Longing, Belonging & Palestine).
‘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

Exciting and entertaining, Chai For All plays Old World Yiddish folk, New World Yiddish theatre songs and jazz-tinged klezmer. A magnificent musical journey from the haunted Eastern European shtetls, through the dimly-lit basement bars of tango-crazed Buenos Aires, to the vibrant neighbourhoods of swinging New York.
Impassioned female vocals lead the party, joyously backed by trumpet, guitar and percussion. With fantastic music, brilliant audience rapport and more than a touch of goodtime showbiz this is a set guaranteed to raise the spirits.

Radio Banska
A jazz/world-music quintet, Radio Banska has worked across the southwest since 2012, mostly on the arts centre and jazz festival circuit.
After the sad passing of founding violinist Nina Trott, the band experimented with different line ups, including Bristol sax man Craig Crofton - but is currently working with virtuoso accordionist Mirek Salmon, a perfect fit for the mesmerising, original compositions.
A highly melodic, jazz infused blend of Levantine mystery, dark Balkan passion and Latin rhythms.
“ ... an extraordinarily powerful band – a kind of Levantine zeppelin ... “
“ ... a delight of fusion jazz - often surreal, always hard driving ... “
