Prepare to be violently impressed when master musician Gene Peterson, goes head to head with multi instrumentalist Adam Page, in this phenomenal musical showdown. In this 100 minute jam-packed performance, the audience will be treated to a plethora of amazing skills, from simultaneously playing keyboards and drums, to Tibetan throat singing, to using a variety of vegetables as musical instruments!!

Set in a boxing ring, complete with blue & red corners, ‘Loop the Loop’ showcases a musical battle like no other.  As each artist attempts to out-play the other with their multitude of musical abilities, they continually record their music into a loop pedal, creating the aural illusion of an entire band playing live! Both performers from 'Loop the Loop' are virtuoso musicians in their own right, and have each toured nationally and internationally, performed at festivals worldwide and have accumulated countless awards and accolades along the way. As the competition is fierce, the musicians are forced to pull their best tricks out of their arsenal! ‘Loop the Loop’ also features a high level of comedy, and audiences can look forward to marvelling at the outrageous skills displayed, whilst being tickled by the humour.

Sometimes quirky, often hilarious, at times unbelievable, but always impressive, 'Loop the Loop' offers the ultimate performance package.
