White Mischief is proud to recommend a show from a musical outfit upon whom we have been keeping our beady eyes for some time. Featured in a Guardian article on steampunk before they had even played outside their own mysterious Victorian warehouse venue, now the Clockwork Quartet is presenting its series of songs and stories before the public for the first time, at London’s historic Horse Hospital. Read below for further details.

“Tarnished, bittersweet music that conjures up Portishead” – The Guardian
Dearest Friends,
I take great pleasure in inviting you to the world premiere of my new show. A collection of songs and stories following the cursed paths of a clutch of troubled souls – with music and light relief provided by my infamous companions, The Clockwork Quartet.
- The Raconteuse
Discover The Horse Hospital transformed into a run down Victorian music hall, where you can enjoy a cup of tea, a glass of port, or something more potent, and refreshments crafted by the band chocolatier. Advanced booking recommended.
“The Clockwork Quartet is a Dresden Dolls-esque collective of 20-odd musicians, actors and cabaret performers who all play various bizarre and morbidly dark characters. Intrigued?” – NME
with help from accordion, oboe, piccolo banjo, Stroh violin, musical saw, and the magnificent Steamdrone, as well as the percussive possibilities of clocks, metronomes, discarded mechanical parts and found objects. Members include two trained luthiers, a carpenter, a jeweller, a prop maker and sculptor, a chocolatier, and a doctor of zoology.Listen & book tickets at http://www.clockworkquartet.com
