Armed with over 100 instruments, these brilliant musicians perform music from the movies that made Clint Eastwood a star. The stunning Ennio Morricone soundtracks include The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, For a Few Dollars More and Once upon a Time in the West. This ingenious gang of comic maestros underscore these classic compositions with hilarious sound effects... blowing on bottles, crushing corn flakes and ‘playing’ coat hangers, apples, squeaky toys, rubber gloves, bicycle pumps, nail clippers and other household items – recreating every punch up, gunshot and jangling spur that defined the gun-slinging West. Audiences across the world have been amazed and enthralled by this international sensation.
“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!”
