Ivan The Terrible was crowned the first Tsar of Russia 462 years ago to the day! He really was terrible. Andre Michelin, on the other hand, had to wait a further 306 years before he could start to think about revolutionising tyres and restaurants. What does this have to do with tonight in Budapest, I hear you ask? Well, they're both related to members of Zdob si Zdub.

It's a night of weirdness tonight on the ship. 'Zdob si Zdub' are from Moldavia, and appropriately sing in Romanian and Russian, along a brassy-Chilli-Pepper Balkan funk groove.
Support comes from the Northeast of Hungary in the form of the extremely lively and intriguingly titled Folk Error. Hungarian folk meets punk. Error! Why has no one else thought of that?
