The Fancy Toys Announce University Dates

• 19th Sep 2009

James Duncan (28) and Mickäel Téo (27) have been writing, playing live and recording in the studio with many artists, since they were really pretty young. They have performed at some of the most prestigious venues, all around the world and have now come together to form The Fancy Toys. They take influences from across the globe (Classical, Jazz, Pop, Rock…) and implement them into a new, exciting and refreshing way of making music. With the Fancy Toys, they unleash their creativity, challenge themselves through the use of different and unusual instruments and explore new sounds.

The Fancy Toys love to invite guests on to the stage to help out with the performance. Notable inclusions are drums, double-bass, trumpet, backing vocals, percussion but also dancers and visual artists. Every show is different.

Their vision is to write music that will be extremely fresh and to stimulate listeners to smile, laugh and dance. They are absolutely unique and continue to surprise at every level. The Fancy Toys performance is a visual and audio experience; a true show. So stand back and watch the comedy, the lights, the makeup and be amazed…..

13th Oct – Oxford Union – 9pm
