It’s bold, bonkers, a little bit saucy, and gloriously unhinged. A comedy for grown‑ups and children who like their theatre wild, witty, and just the right amount of wrong.

Their roots lie in the English and Scottish folk music traditions, but they draw on inspiration from blues, gypsy jazz and folk traditions across the globe. In their live shows, they play a game of ‘musical cat and mouse’; improvising and responding to each other, weaving virtuosic performances that are unique and in-the-moment as only two musicians highly accomplished in their craft can produce.
