Event information

London Prog Gigs is pleased to present Franck Carducci & The Fantastic Squad, returning to London for a special intimate show before headlining at the Cambridge Rock Festival.

Master of Ceremonies Franck Carducci leads his Rock ‘n Roll Circus where each of his players embodies a side of his music. Who can explain how a 12 string guitar extra neck would be added to a bass guitar, how a powerful guitar riff would go with a hot belly dance, or a Mellotron solo would end up in a duel with a didgeridoo?
Who can also explain how Achilles, guitar and sword in hand, would kidnap a sensual Alice from her Wonderland?
However, let them pick you up and take you in the palm of their hands – you won’t want to leave until the very last note of the concert. Your senses will not be given a second of rest while these characters take you to a place where dreams are kings, emotions are queens and musical genres are crossed with no borders.
Immerse yourself into the spectacle and let yourself go as you embark on a journey into a colourful, flamboyant and fun musical universe, which is open and accessible to all.

"One of the most exciting stage shows around" - Classic Rock Society
"A surrealistic rock circus" - PROG Magazine

With special guests from Malta - VIPER SOUP COMPLEX

“Their music moves around in prog rock with a bunch of extra elements like blues, jazz tracks, folk of various genres such as oriental forms to dance rhythms ...” - PANAGIOTIS
— Sliding Backwards

“The band are tight and dexterous, and endlessly inventive, playing some quite heavy jazz-tinged prog, while Anne Marie acts out the song stories, which are quite bizarre but mesmerising.” - Graham Thomas
— The Progressive Aspect

“...Red Fugue is in truth an elaborate musical journey, soaring in places thanks to Anne Marie’s rather versatile vocal range, actively engaging the listener with its assorted rhythmic changes and dynamic melodic shifts, yet it still rocks, at times softly, sometimes harder, at its core.” - Michael Bugeja
— Times Of Malta

Advance tickets £12 (plus booking fees), £15 on the door
