Subject: RE: Help: trad. music in Prague and points north
to clarify, when I said touristy I just mean youre more likely to get overcharged but it is a very well known venue (the foods not much, when I was there there were about 3 items on the menu, goulash, pork & dumplings with sourkraut (the national dish) and we didnt even catch any music at the time (there was no band but it was still full). Possibly the best advice is to ask the locals at the hotels. They are big on classical, as well as bluegrass and country music. Again brass band music (dechova hudba or dechovka) is very common in a lot of pubs usually there are singers as well, and the eastern moravian music which is very different in style you will definitely find in Moravia if you have a few days to spare I would recommend it. There are many country inns which catered to shepherds. Often there is music in these places. While Prague is definitely a beautiful destination many people spend a few days there and miss out on the lovely countryside. enjoy your trip there (I did have a look at the above site and the Festival in Vlcnov (Vlchnov) is last years) but that is very much in the Moravian style. petr
