Date and Time
Mon 26 May @ 6:30pm in Bubble
Cabaret and quirky theatrics illustrate John's electronic songs, with costumes, live electronics, surreal visuals and animations.
"It’s great to have people like John Callaghan around to illustrate that a well-planned and practised show can ... deliver blasts of chaos and spontaneity while keeping a tight rein on setlist and pacing. John's an electronic musician and video artist [who sings] in front of music videos, showcases an eclectic and bizarre range of outfits ... and brings the audience into his world ... with an easy charisma." (The Reviews Hub)
John's credits include releases on Warp Records and directing ingenious music videos for artists like Professor Elemental ("[John is] the closest thing to a living cartoon character... Makes music like no-one else in this dimension").
Running time: 60min
Suitable for Age 12+
Warnings: Flashing Lights and Smoke

"If you want to put your brain in the blender, have a listen - it's like if Aphex Twin wrote British music hall songs... in a good way"

★★★★★ Loureviews
"How do you classify, let alone review a show like this? Disarmingly good and definitely worth a trip out of your comfort zone. Strange, silly, sincere and sensational."
