What makes Tummel special is their ability to adapt to whatever kind of scene or stage they are thrown upon.
They have played every kind of venue from small bars to big rock festival stages; including school concerts and retirements homes, and people seem to get a kick where ever they set foot.

“Tummel” is, in Yiddish, the sound that arises from a totally unrestrained party. “Ein Tumler“ is a guy hired by the host of the party to keep the partying frenezy up, whatever the cost.

Tummel plays traditional klezmer and balkan music, but arranged in their own, often untraditional way, and also write their own material. Although all band members are strong instrumentalists, what really makes the crowd go wild on a Tummel concert is their extraordinary capability as a live band. The Tumlers spare no effort to give the audience a once in a lifetime experience, leaving the audience gasping for breath with sweat flowing from their armpits. As a reflection of the history this music has floated through, the music involves elements of both extreme pleasure and extreme pain. But in Tummel´s case, the pleasure and joy is the first and foremost ingredient.
