'Songs of loss and love, pain and lust, truth and death... profound and entertaining...' The Age

One of the hottest tickets at last year's Adelaide Cabaret Festival and the highlight of the 2003 Edinburgh Fringe Festival (picking up three awards, including the coveted Herald Devil Award), Mikelangelo and The Black Sea Gentlemen have brought back their Songs to Illuminate the Dark - a rambunctious musical journey into the underworld of the human soul.

Centred around the emotive songs and captivating stage presence of band leader Mikelangelo, Songs to Illuminate the Dark features an ensemble of brilliantly talented musicians who waltz, tango and polka their way through a show bristling with energy, humour and beauty. The group was nominated for Best Cabaret Ensemble and for Best Original Music at the 2004 Green Room Awards.

If you like the sound of Songs To Illuminate The Dark , you might also enjoy Saturday Night Beaver, The Ennio Morricone Experience or The Pink Flamingo Lounge.
