GYPSY FIRE is the most successful and most requested project of Pavel Šporcl with his own gypsy dulcimer band Gypsy Way Ensemble.
The Gypsy Fire programme is a follow-up to the album of the same name (Supraphon Platinum Record), released in 2014 by the music label Supraphon. It is a continuation of the very successful album Gypsy Way, the first programme by Pavel Šporcl with a gypsy theme. It combines great mastery with temperament and gypsy boiling blood. In contrast to the first Gypsy Way, the new project relies more heavily on the unusual technical equipment and personality of Pavel Šporcl. Pavel is also featured in the programme as an arranger and author of music, including the title track Gypsy Fire.

Pavel Šporcl has played more than 400 concerts with the Gypsy dulcimer band in various countries around the world, including China, and has conducted successful tours, during which he completely sold out the legendary Prague Lucerna three times (2009 – Gypsy Way, 2011 – Gypsy Way Orchestral, 2014 – Gypsy Fire). The concert of Gypsy Fire, held in Lucerna, was filmed and broadcast by Czech Television in May 2015.
