I am sorry, but this was dreadful to watch. 2/10
your parents ok with this?
It was by FAR one of the most utterly brilliant production of ANYTHING I have ever seen. ; ) Thoroughly enjoyed the setting, the script, and the performance. I had a 280 miles round trip and every single mile was worth it.
Nice dude
Hello thomas i loved meeting you
Bravo!!!🥀⚘💙💛
Superbe <3
By FAR the most utterly terrible production of ANYTHING I have ever seen. A disaster.
We went to Romeo & Juliet last year and it was absolutely brilliant. Hope to be able to catch this one too
Great night of entertainment and getting to know your performers!
David and Alan were not romantically involved. David married Catriona!
"The programme is one long hymn to the Great God of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI, aptly), who demands and here receives full obeisance." I had the same thought last night when I saw a few minutes of a programme about putting together a choir for the Coronation Concert, to be held in Windsor on Sunday. It was preoccupied with ensuring every diversity box was ticked. The whole thing was utterly joyless. As for the lost city of Brighton, I preferred it in the days when Keith Waterhouse described it as a town which looks like it is helping the police with their inquiries.
One of the most exceptional musicians of our time ❤
Saw your Portrait painting it was a wonderful insight and a beautiful painting of you and now it been pulled of the internet that's a shame
Love Since the first time I saw you on a take away show amazing
we love it :)
Only 3700 views for this!! DAKHABRAKHA create music that elevates the soul. STUNNING. BEAUTIFUL. MAGNIFICENT. Thanks for recording the gig. бажаю миру, любові та волі ДахаБрахі і всім у вільній Україні х
no thanks
a great good intro to this year's thingummies - we may not have been able to be present 'live', but the diveo certainly brings the brochure programme to life (we'd looked earlier and been pondering what to book early) bravo, both co-directors, for making those connections and to the festival crew for giving them space. the conversation really amplified this year's theme, which is, in so many ways, apt. the whole feel of the festival programme (*) seems to engage the whole town (well, ok, city - 'twas but a town when i was a lad) yet more and beyond. so good to see the engagement with all resident sand plenty of environments expand even further. a good balance, methinks, of most stylees of event (even if there's fewer that are immediately essential to my readymade likes - we're always willing to chance our arm, one of the joys of brighton festival over the decades we've indulged) and the presentation inspires enthusiasm to get our tkts purchases sorted soonest. a couple of points: - will the riwaq live on beyond may? 'twould be a shame to lose such a construction (maybe transpose it to eg, preston park / madeira drive / st anne's wells garden... if it can't remain in situ - a fresh b.o.a.t.like space for the future. mentioning the crystal palace may not be a popular brighton utterance, but, hey, it worked there, until...). - any chance you can tweak the subtitles to anglicise the spellign? we's british, after all, innit!? my only criticism of the launch doings. here's to a goody. cheers paul
A wonderful, interesting, programme, crossing boundaries and showing different cultures and ways of life. I look forward to coming to some great events. Thank you.
I wish I had gone to this
Слава Україні!!
Still stunning <3
This is the matrix girl?
I'd love to see this.
I love how beautifully the cello accompanies the text of the poem, particularly *dropping* in pitch to the very low final note on the word ‘dropped’
was so magical. would love to go again.
🤸♀️🎉🎶🎶🎶🤸♀️
Feeling it.
Powerful, we love it
i love it so much, rock on...
Wonderful the Festival is back !! !! !! Always inspiring and engaging. An extra special year to bring people back together. Looking forward!
This is brilliant

I wish I'd seen this.
Expect moments of pure DakhaBrakha brilliance, doing vocal and even instrumental things no other group could ever hope to pull off. The Brakhas vocal abilities are unequaled. They are an order of magnitude beyond any other musical ensemble in the world. They never cease to totally amaze me, move me, gladden my soul, give me pure joy. There should be a lot more views of this concert.
Yup yup
*in love with Rachel since 2003
First comment
Toujours le rayon de soleil avec vous quatre !!! Pensée à Olena.
I was overwhelmed by emotion. Fantastic performance!
She is just so cool and quite lovely ❤️
I just went to their performance in Germany, it was fantastic and funny, and I have rarely enjoyed myself as much as when I was watching this! Will definitely go again next year!
“Early music is not usually electrifying...” - words spoken by someone who obviously can’t have listened to much early music.
Well done, guys! I can hardly wait until you come to Conwy next month. It will be one of the highlights of the summer!

Love this video!
Intriguing, beautiful movement.
