Since releasing their first album 'The Balkan Courtesan' ten years ago, Radio Banska has worked tirelessly across the southwest. After the sad passing of founding member Nina Trott, the band has worked with many talented front line musicians, and currently features Craig Crofton on sax. The mesmerising and darkly Levantine original compositions remain the same !
