The latest Roadshow from the Demon Barbers is simply groundbreaking. Back in October 2007 I spoke to Damien Barber about a new pilot he was working on. You can read the interview here. When I first heard what he was planning and then saw the footage I was gob-smacked that anyone could come up with such a great idea and have the guts and determination to pull it off. Well he has.

On 7th May 2008 you can witness the latest Demon Barber Roadshow which will feature the new pilot created by Damien Barber which takes tradition into the future in a breathless fusion of clog dancing, break dance, beat box and percussion.
