Bowjangles are a string quartet who can really play. They dance whilst they play. They sing whilst they play. They leap, tumble, juggle and joke whilst they play.
In this new show marking their 10-year anniversary Bowjangles tell the somewhat ludicrous story of their journey to find the most priceless relic of all- a mysterious violin bow known as Excalibow. You’ll love Bowjangles’ inimitable and unique style, full of laughs, boundless energy, and almost every musical genre you can imagine. WARNING: May contain traces of Abba.

"Every element of this fast-paced, one-hour show is performed to an exceptionally high standard. The vocal and instrumental work alone is astounding, but when this is combined with seamless physical movement, precise comic timing and engaging character development, this performance becomes something very special. The improbable, witty plot of Excalibow provides a platform on which to incorporate all the talents of this skilled ensemble. It is difficult to describe the performance Bowjangles create. I do not think it would be an overstatement to say that it seems highly unlikely that there will ever be another ensemble performance like this. Excalibow is an hour of joyous Fringe fun, underpinned by admiration and amazement at the creativity displayed by this hugely talented cast." – ★★★★★Fringe Review
