IF you think a chamber ensemble is all about serious string quartets, solemn musicians in evening dress playing beautiful but often quite austere music, you haven’t met Bowjangles. This is the quartet that puts the swing into strings. They are back in Dorset, at Litton Cheney community hall on Thursday 23rd January, Lytchett Matravers hall on Friday 24th and Marnhull on Saturday 25th, all at 7.30pm.
Forget everything you think you know about string quartets – Bowjangles is an irreverent, anarchic group of genre-spanners, bringing music, theatre and comedy together in a way you’ve never seen before.

These are four classically trained musicians who can really play … they also dance while they play … they sing while they play … they leap, tumble, juggle and joke while they play!

They are celebrating 16 years of touring by bringing back ALL their best bits, from 2008 to the present day! With musical tennis matches from Bowlympics, Strictly Come Dancing from On The Box and dances with the devil from Excalibow, as well as excerpts from their Edinburgh smash hit Dracula in Space, this will be a glorious retrospective of a long-running musical comedy group filled with clever physical comedy and virtuosic music, all interspersed with hilarious stories of their time on the road.
