I was somewhat intrigued by the premise of this show: two Germans smashing a car to music! It is certainly an original idea, the likes of which most festival-goers will have never encountered. The Germans in question are Christian Von Richthofen, former music teacher and talented percussionist, and his partner in crime Rolf Clausen who lends support by injecting comedy and putting the boot into the beleaguered car.

The show started slowly, with no car demolition, and an unexpectedly melodic version of Bach's Toccata and Fugue, performed in a scat style. The performers swiftly moved on to the thing everyone was waiting for, car abuse, with a Latin number. From this point the car became the focus for increasingly energetic and forceful rhythms. Melodies were provided by means of scat and singing which is tuneful and well executed. The drumming duo create a fabulous range of tones and beats from various parts of the car, Von Richthofen creating a high hat effect with a windscreen wiper and windows are transformed into single use crash cymbals.

The show's only downfalls are a few very German comedy interludes, such as Clausen's Hitler monologue and an incomprehensible poem read in the mother-tongue. These aside though the show was well paced and by the end the audience were clearly ready for the car to see some serious damage, skilfully applied with a combination of hammers, axes, sticks and picks.

By the end the car, which started out shiny (and in better nick than mine) is reduced to a mangled heap. The show is worth seeing for the spectacle, but don't expect comic genius.

Times: 5:30pm, until 27 August. Tickets are £14 - £15.
