| BBC Proms |
| '...4-MALITY perform with a flamboyant theatricality ...as much performance art as it is music.' |
|
| 4-MALITY on the South Bank |
| '...sheer excitement and entertaining energy ...variety, virtuosity and versatility...' |
|
| 'For breathtaking ensemble skills, visual display and sheer bravado, Jan Bradley's stunning In-Line was appropriately reserved for the finale of this exhilarating, liberating presentation.' |
| Birmingham Post |
|
| Chelmsford Festival |
| '...4-MALITY stunned the audience with a succession of pieces that bounced around the Cathedral pillars like laser beams, and created sounds full of abstract visions. |
|
| ... a hugely enjoyable programme of virtuoso but highly accessible music...Check them out, and scrap any preconceptions you may harbour about "just" percussion.' |
