Welcome to one of the most soulful and mesmerizing nights in the London Gypsy Orchestra’s history! We're inviting you to step back to November 2007, at the spectacular Union Chapel. This was more than a concert—it was a truly sacred experience. That night, the hall began in a hush of darkness, and as the music started, the space was gradually illuminated by the flickering light of 200 candles. The entire performance felt like a dream!
