LATEST PRESS QUOTES

The musicians are amazing. A true spectacle.
Angelo Foletto, La Repubblica, Italy

Spaghetti Western Orchestra is a miracle.
Corriere della Sera, Italy

An endearing, impressive show.
The Guardian, UK ****

Take the magnificent music of Ennio Morricone, add five multi-talented, unashamedly theatrical Australians with impeccable comedy timing and let them loose on 100 instruments and you have some idea of Spaghetti Western Orchestra.
A joyous celebration.
London Evening Standard, UK ****

It is amazing that these five performers manage to get the enormous sound that would not shame any soundtrack of a Leone epic. Multi-skilled in every musical department, they are also great comedians, singers and actors who summon up the world of Morricone and Leone with consummate ease.

SWO dazzled with a number of Foley sequences, in which they mimicked the creation of sound effects for the films. A gunfight sequence was magical, with sounds coming from boxes of cereal, collard greens and cabbages, wooden clogs, nail files and a frog clicker.
Times Union, Schnectady, NY

If Pink Floyd met Frank Zappa and the Blue Man Group over a few sarsparillas and a fist-fight in a saloon, the aftermath would result in the gritty, retro-jazz-cat collective known as the Spaghetti Western Orchestra.
Edward Burke (AKA DJ Seamus) on WWPV 88.7-FM “The Mike” 29 Oct 2009

An absolute delight.
Classic 963fm, Canada

Brilliant comedic timing...a total charmer from start to finish.

Inspiring and brilliantly performed. This show grabs you by the collar and shoves your nose into the dust of the desert.

One of the most inventive and refreshing shows. Wake up Ennio, these five nuts are singing your tune!

So much more than a concert, this is an hilarious and inventive show.

Unmissable!
Night Life, France

As good as watching the movies themselves.
Le Devoir, Canada

The Spaghetti Western Orchestra takes Morricone’s magnificent works further than just the playing of music in a way that is thoroughly remarkable. Don't miss this magical performance.
Die Welt, Germany

A witty collage of stylised film dialogue, improvised soundtracks and sound effects. A masterpiece of first class arrangements of Ennio Morricone’s music, lovingly interspersed film quotations, and stunning acoustic and visual gags. Fully loaded musical theatre done to perfection. Don’t miss it!
Hamburger Abendblatt, Germany

‘Ayayaaaaaayyyyyhh!’ – The Spaghetti Western Orchestra is both hilarious and deadly serious.
Kölner Stadtanzeiger, Germany

Simply fantastic and a must-see show.
The Age, Australia

Pure performance - music, drama and comedy - musicianship and arrangements of the highest order.
The List, UK

That the musicians perform with the enormous gravity of a Mozart symphony only serves to make this extraordinary show all the funnier.
The Guardian, UK

Compelling theatricality and kaleidoscopic range of moods, from slapstick hilarity to authentically creepy menace. An inspired show.
The Scotsman, UK

A fistful of moody and magnificent interpretations.
The Sydney Morning Herald, Australia

You will marvel at their ingenuity.
Metro, UK
