Katzenjammer

With Four Hands on One Piano, Katzenjammer are a piano duo with a difference. Both classically trained pianists and comic song-writers, Kevin Farrell and Steven Worbey have developed their own unique, virtuosic and acrobatic style of performing that can only be described as spectacular, very funny and highly entertaining. With a modern twist on a traditional genre, they will dazzle you with their own arrangements of Liszt, inspired by Tom & Jerry, Tchaikovsky, which goes off with a bang, and they will have you laughing as they marry together your favourite classics with your top-10 pub tunes! With the resulting tangle of hands and arms, the keyboard is projected onto a large screen so that the mesmerising gymnastic display of their playing can be marvelled at.

"You’ve never seen a piano played like this before!"


Kevin Farrell

After graduating from the Royal College of Music in 1992, Kevin went on to work on the Emmy award winning show 'Concerto' with Dudley Moore. He toured with the English National Ballet and was then commissioned to write the music for the Jiving Lindy Hoppers jazz ballet, 'Jungles of the Cities'.

As a composer he has written a children's ballet 'The Water Babies' and the music for the notorious play 'The Dead Monkey' staring David Soul.

He has also written music for over 80 documentaries and 4 feature films including 'Death of a Son' starring Lynn Redgrave and 'Never Play with the Dead'. He has regularly appeared on Liberty radio, LBC radio and BBC London.


Steven Worbey

Steven studied piano performance at the Royal College of Music between 1990 and 1995 with Phyllis Sellick and Yonty Solomon. During this time he won a scholarship to study at Post Graduate level with the renowned pianist, Peter Katin (with whom he performed in a series of piano duet concerts at the Fairfield Hall, Croydon).

Since graduating, Steven toured extensively throughout the UK giving piano recitals and chamber music concerts. Having always been interested in theatre, Steven meanwhile expanded his skills in acting and has since appeared in various theatre and television roles. These have included acting in and musically directing many shows, including 'When Pigs Fly' (Arts Theatre) and 'You Couldn't Make it Up' (Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2002). He is also the voice of Pod in the popular children's cartoon 'Pod's Mission' for the BBC.
