The Destroyers are a 15 piece group based in Birmingham, UK. A mix of recovering escapees from Birmingham's Conservatoire and musical firebrands from the Midlands, the band are a sight and sound to behold.
Fired by the energy of Eastern European music, the Destroyers diversify and build upon the traditional arrangements, whilst remaining true to the roots of their influences.
Performance highlights to date include:
WYCHWOOD FESTIVAL (Cheltenham)
ROOTS DEVILLE MIDSUMMER FESTIVAL (Birmingham)
NOTTING HILL ARTS CLUB (London)
THE BOARDWALK (Sheffield)
SHEEP MUSIC FESTIVAL
THE BIG GREEN GATHERING FESTIVAL
SHAMBALA FESTIVAL

In January 2006 the band was commissioned by Birmingham's FLATPACK FILM FESTIVAL to write and perform live accompaniment to the silent films of Mitchell and Kenyon.
