Gefilte Swing in concert at Point Bar !

To boost your energy and find the good humor that you need to attain your goals, fortunately you can rely on Gefilte Swing. On Sunday, September 10, the dynamic klezmer swing…

What would you say to a fine meal and concert on the same evening? You can enjoy both on Saturday October 14 at the KB, a wine bar/restaurant serving delicious cuisine. The Gefilte Swing band will be playing equally delicious music. But what does KB stand for? "Klezmer Ball" with some swinging klezmer music ? Or perhaps it just means easy access from metro station "Kremlin-Bicêtre". Either way, it's well worth checking out.
