Troyka Mala are the perfect band to end the 'returners' series at The Living Room (of course there will be returners in the future!!). Last seen in The Grapes in June 2023, it will be an incredible pleasure to have this brilliant trio back in Bath.

Troyka Mala is a Chamber-folk/Post-classical trio with Sophie Wilsdon (Clarinet & Vocals), Naomi Hill (Violin & Vocals) and Liam O'Connell (Double Bass & Vocals).

Together they indulge their love of intricate three-part chamber style arrangements, showcasing a selection of soulful Balkan, Eastern European and Middle Eastern heart music, alongside an expanding collection of Liam’s (My Octopus Mind, Leeem) original compositions, which take a playful approach to these influences.

The trio have an infectious chemistry, having played together for years as part of Troyka, the long-standing Bristol Balkan band. They take this connection into a decidedly more intimate, intricate and experimental format aimed at sit-down audiences rather than rowdy dancefloors.
