Comedy Electric String Quartet (Lords of the Strings)
Using electric strings and beatbox, Lord of the Strings are not the ‘traditional’ string quartet.
Four world-class musicians playing five and six-stringed electric violins, viola and cello in a truly original show.
Lords of the Strings unique, acclaimed version of Ravel’s ‘Bolero’ has all four playing on one cello simultaneously. Then they challenge the audience to play Name That Tune as they race through 20 of the best-loved film themes in one breathless arrangement. Their helter-skelter James Bond medley is an absolute killer and the show ends with Fever’s breath-taking signature finale, ‘The History of Music... in 5 Minutes’. Charisma, humour, energy and distinctive use of custom-made ‘Violectra’ instruments create an experience that can only best be described as...amazing!
