Line up(s) available: 2 piece (duo) Top Cat is a fabulous comic music duo. Terry Cole of the Famous Fratellini Brothers and Jen Hawley of the Great Chefs of Europe cook up a cauldron of jazzed-up euro-folk.
There'll be fine fiddling, gutsy guitar, masterful mandolin and stupendous singing.
Hang tight as they take you on a whirlwind musical tour of the continents.
Top Cat are a treat with their highly engaging comedy skits, fun music and whacky entertainment and are sure to make a splash at your next event.
Jen Hawley (vocals, ukulele and percussion) and Terry Cole (vocals, mandolin, violin and whistles) will delight you with their wonderful and diverse repertoire of wandering minstrel musical magic...and all connected to the funny bone! You'll hear a fun mix of up-beat Jazz and Latin , thigh-slapping Gypsy fiddle tunes , Aussie bush and some good ol' country and all-time favourites- all with a touch of circus.
Top Cat- the perfect roving entertainment team!
