Golonka are a sensation in today's world music scene. Based in Adelaide, Australia, the five musicians play beautiful gypsy, eastern European and soulful dance music. With seductive violin, prodigious guitar, smooth clarinet, sonorous accordion and driving double-bass the band have become a favourite live part of the world-music scene. These are songs and melodies that tell of the stars and the moon, of love and of death, and then can make an audience want to madly dance.
They performed at WOMAD in 2013, toured to Japan in 2016, and have been performing and touring ever since. Their third album, 'Cut out the Day' is coming out on vinyl in late 2024.

More Info
Golonka are a virtuoso band that play as a four or five piece band, with singing, clarinet, violin, guitar, domra, double bass. We have many beautiful, gentle, emotional tunes and songs for gentle, thoughtful gigs and functions, and on the other hand many rip-roaring dance numbers for more energetic moments - its up to the client what mix of these they want. We have played many festival gigs to thousands, and quiet atmospheric wedding receptions to a dozen people, and everything in between.
These are the categories of entertainment or other services offered by Golonka.
We can bring a full sound system, or a reduced sound system for small venues, or play acoustically when requested.
We need shade in hot weather and cover in wet weather, and power if you want amplification.
We play a mixture of trad Eastern European tunes, our own songs, plus a mixture of other covers.
