The most creative ‘juggling’ I’ve ever seen, these guys create rhythm/percussion with the balls/clubs, and carry out balletic entwining movements with ‘couples juggling’ and the guitar work is a wonderful addition to this amazing show. Highly recommended.

Such a skilled trio - mesmerising, entertaining and unlike anything else I've ever seen.

An impressive juggling show with live guitar. The hour felt like a 20 min show, as I was totally immerse on it. Their skills were amazing, and my partner, who has experience with juggling, recognised what they did weren't the basic easy cascades you usually see in many juggling shows. We were both very amazed by the show. 100% recommended!

Unforgettable, a must-see, fusion of Juggling and Live Guitar. The performance delivered an incredible juggling artistry that left the audience captured. The trio of talented performers showcased their exceptional skills, seamlessly interweaving intricate juggling feats with the emotive strains of a live guitar. The synergy created an immersive experience that transcended the norm.

Adam - really cool & they recovered quickly when made a mistake. I liked when he had all the rings together especially when they glowed. Bit slow to start. I liked the sound effects although music bit loud at times. 7/10.
Mum - I really enjoyed the show, a variety of different props & physical theatre, lovely live guitar. The focus + concentration so impressive. Odd drops understandable + underline the difficulty.
Can juggling fill an hour? Yes.

Mesmerising and really skillful, it is beautiful. It says 5+ for suitability but honestly I think 8+ would be better, I took two little ones and they just did not 'get it'. Its artistic and beautiful but their little attention spans don't quite manage :-)
