Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen


“These are performers at the top of their game, in complete control of their audience.”  The Scotsman

March 2, 2012 to March 4, 2012

Bookings are no longer available

Time Out London Critics Choice and Green Room Award winners Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen celebrate their tenth anniversary with a show fittingly entitled Ten Long Years In The Saddle.

This one-hour theatrical concert will feature new material alongside The Gentlemen’s classics for three nights of epic grandeur, great emotion and high farce.

Starring Mikelangelo on lead vocals and guitar, Rufino the Catalan Casanova on violin, The Great Muldavio on clarinet, Guido Libido on piano accordion and Little Ivan on double-bass. Together the group create beautifully layered musical arrangements, hilarious vignettes and vivid, iconic characters.

The last time Mikelangelo and his Gentlemen performed at The Famous Spiegeltent it was to full houses and wildly entertaining shows – these performances promise to be every bit as exciting.

“Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen inhabit a fantasy world of assumed characters realising the music of a beloved, imaginary homeland. In the process they create a complete entertainment combining elements of circus, high art, B-grade movies, dark and light comedy and swooning violins. They are not so much a band as a dream you cannot wake from.”  Sydney Morning Herald
