BANJO brilliantly intertwines the life events of Banjo Paterson through beautiful new arrangements of COLDPLAY’s greatest hits, contemporary dance and his very own verse.

Paterson’s classic verse – Clancy of the Overflow, As Long As Your Eyes Are Blue, Waltzing Matilda & The Man From Snowy River, will blend with Clocks, Yellow, Fix You, Paradise, Viva La Vida and more.

Audience feedback for BANJO: 
"magic... transported me to a beautiful place called Australia of Old." 
"mesmerising... of a world class standard."
"My 2nd time watching BANJO, with 6 other family members, ages 13-76, all totally enraptured by this performance!"
"I highly recommend this incredibly moving experience. It is breathtakingly good."
- Hon. Ben Franklin, Former NSW Minister for the Arts
