Bučan Bučan (www.bucanbucan.com)

Bučan Bučan, Victoria’s favourite Folk/Roots group in 2013 (Monday Magazine Awards), is a "high energy," "spontaneous," "not to be missed" Balkan brass marching band! Made up of a very colourful and talented collection of musicians playing trumpets, violins, clarinets, tubas, accordions, trombones and drums, Bučan Bučan has been entertaining crowds for the last five years with its variety of traditional, eastern European brass band tunes and original material inspired by Balkan rhythms and melodies.

This high energy group is mobile and often plays while moving around a venue, indoors or outside, making use of the different features of performance spaces while giving their audiences an up close and personal experience with live music. Alternately, the band is just as comfortable on a nightclub stage playing to a packed dance floor.

ACCESSIBILITY

The Victoria Event Centre will be completing a new and detailed accessibility audit at the beginning of December, and is working to improve the accessibility (and accessibility information) of the venue. One of the washrooms has recently been modified to accommodate wheelchairs. The on-site elevator is currently undergoing a recertification process, and until that process is complete we cannot consider the venue to be wheelchair accessible. The VEC will post updates as new information is available.

- this is a 19+ event
- the VEC is a licensed venue and will be serving alcohol
- washrooms will be gender-neutral for this event
