As of 2025, KGB has retired. We might play for a dance together sometime, but we are no longer seeking bookings. It has been a great 30 year run since we first played together in August 1993. Thanks from the bottom and top of our hearts to all of our fans near and far. We have sold out of In from the Cold and The Red Light of Evening, but they're available for download or streaming from numerous sources, including iTunes and Spotify (but be aware that our music is often commingled with that of several very different bands named KGB). We still have lots of CDs of Contra-Intelligence and Volga Notions. Contact Dave if you're interested. Our tune books have gone out of print, but Dave can send PDFs of tunes on request. This KGB was not a spy organization, but a band from Seattle that played for New England style contradance, English Country Dance (as MI-5), Mostly Waltz and other social dance events, concerts, and private functions such as wedding receptions. We write a lot of our own music, and the rest comes from all over the world: the British Isles, French Canada, New England, Western and Eastern Europe, Latin America, the rest of the US, and places we haven't yet identified. Our waltz, Call It a Night, is featured on Radio Paradise; another waltz, The Clock Stopped, is used by Richard Powers to teach cross-step waltz. We are: Julie King - piano Claude Ginsburg - violin, concertina, viola Dave Bartley - mandolin, guitar, cittern, etc. On this website you will find information about recordings we have released, find out who we are, collectively and individually, including where we have played and the nice things people have written about us. |
