Their shows are hugely entertaining and a display of top-quality musicianship.
Now the Budapest Café Orchestra have a date with a Glasgow audience next month.
The four-piece outfit will bring their Eastern European sounds to Websters Theatre by Kelvinbridge on June 22.
If you are not familiar with the group, their repertoire is vast and eclectic.
They play pieces from the Balkans and Russia, mournful Klezmer melodies, raucous Romanian Doinas and Hungarian Czadas.
Evoking vivid images of Tzigane fiddle maestros, Budapest café life and gypsy campfires, their shows are good enough to make you want to book that holiday down the Danube.
The stop-off in Glasgow is part of a 25-concert tour across Scotland.
The BCO were established in 2009 by award-winning British composer and violinist Christian Garrick.
They are four vastly experienced musicians with diverse backgrounds.
Its members are Garrick (violin, doumbek); Eddie Hession (button accordion); Adrian Zolotuhin (guitar, domra, balalaika, say); and Kelly Cantlon (double bass).
Their promo literature reads: "Hugely entertaining, immense skill and profound musicianship.
"They have won acclaim from fans, fellow musicians and critics alike for their electrifying and entertaining shows.
"They're hard to describe, you just have to see and hear them.
"The Budapest Café Orchestra is as fantastically exciting as it is musically impressive."
This years’ tour takes in the Outer Hebrides for the first time.
