The Backyard Skiffle Band Show

What did The Beatles, Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, Van Morrison and Queen's Brian May all do before they became rock gods?

They grabbed Granny's washboard, Mum's best cutlery, Dad's busted broom and an old tea chest out of the loft and formed a band! It's time to take a nostalgic journey back to the 1950s Skiffle boom in England when the kids turned everyday household items into great music and went on to make rock history.

This interactive family show features lots of quirky old-time instruments and a hideous amount of crashing, banging and chaos.

Let's call it a music history lesson with a touch of anarchy and a big dollop of good humour.

Mums and Dads, be afraid, be very afraid… your pots and pans will never be safe again.

If it's raining, the show will move to Te Whare o Rukutia.
