Why is this worthy of my time and money?: Because the words 'gypsy' and 'punk' don't get used in the same sentence very often, and when they do it's usually just a Daily Mail reader listing social groups they don't like. Also, because despite the queer images their self ascribed genre conjures, it really, really works - expect poor acoustic guitars having the living crap kicked out of them, some excellent moustaches, and a sound that brings to mind The Clash, bad restaurants, and every good night out you've ever had.
