ABOUT US

 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!”
