$G\u00f3b\u00e9fest After Party: Dance-house with Tcha Limberger's Kalotaszeg Trio & Bekecs Dance Theatre$

For one night only, a true Transylvanian after hours táncház with "king of gypsy music" Tcha Limberger is coming to Band on the Wall. For the uninitiated, a táncház (dance house) is an electrifying night of folk music and dance; a traditional Transylvanian Hungarian village party transported to Manchester's northern quarter.
This is not a sit down concert. In common with the Irish ceilidh tradition, everyone is invited to get on the dance floor, learn the steps, make friends and become part of the music. Expect swirling circle dances, high energy fiddles and feet and a full on party atmosphere.
The event is a double celebration. It marks 10 years of Manchester's Transylvanian-rooted international folk festival Góbéfest (19-21 June 2026, Cathedral Gardens) and the birthday of internationally acclaimed master musician Limberger, who was born blind into a musical Roma/Flemish family.
Tonight, he plays with the Tcha Limberger Kalotaszeg Trio, who are Tcha Limberger (violin, vocals), Toni Rudi (brac) and David Otto Varga (double bass).
They are joined by the high‑octane Bekecs Dance Theatre band and dancers, direct from Szeklerland in Transylvania, who are headlining the main event in Cathedral Gardens.
