THE SLINKY
When Dennis Clair and Tony Williams aspired to the stage they never dreamed that they'd end up working in air-conditioning...literally! Ducting to be exact.
Great silver tubes come to life and take on a meaning of their own.
They glide, they slide, they swallow each other, they roll and jump and stretch up to six metres in the air. Perfect of large spaces and stages, their wonderful manifestations include Sumo Police The Kangaroo and a Carnivorous Fashion Show!
THE MUSIC
Amongst others, Tony and Dennis both sing A Very Irritating Song and while it may never be a huge hit you are sure to be still singing it when you try to go to sleep.
Campfire on the Road is a tribute to country music and good lesson on the stupidity of actually building a campfire on the road. Highlighted in this song is Dennis' Dylanesque harmonica playing.
