Time Gentlemen Please!

The UK’s No1 Folk and Hip-Hop Dance Extravaganza!

Clog, Sword and Morris meet B-boying, Popping and Krump in this humorous and unmissable visual feast. Think Riverdance with a false moustache and Stomp with bells on!

In 2001 The Demon Barbers, winners of Best Live Act at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2009, brought together some of England’s most exciting young traditional dancers to create the high energy spectacular Demon Barber Roadshow. Used to pushing the boundaries of English traditions they then took a further step and invited three young hip-hop dancers for a night out at their local pub The Fighting Cocks, resulting in one of the most innovative and compelling dance shows this side of the millennium.

‘One of the best live bands I’ve ever seen. If you get a chance to see them – don’t miss it – they are brilliant.’
Mike Harding, BBC Radio 2

‘Check them out for proof that England’s exciting, phwoar-inducing, evolving dance, song and instrumental traditions are thriving, live and very kicking.’

‘One of the very best things I saw all last year and I see a lot.’
Cluny Macpherson, Regional Director of Arts Council England

‘The single most joyous thing I’ve seen in the theatre’
Antony Dunn, Yorkshire Dance

‘.. a consistently lively entertaining music and dance performance virtually guaranteed to raise weary spirits and send an audience home smiling.’ The Times

‘Time Gentlemen Please! is more exciting musically and choreographically than Riverdance or Stomp; it’s more ambitious, culturally more important. Someone should give this show a West End run.’ Songlines
