BBC Proms
'...4-MALITY perform with a flamboyant theatricality...as much performance art as it is music.'
The Guardian
-------------
Art Gallery of Western Australia
'as soothing as Valium... drum sufaces are relentlessly attacked by the seemingly tireless quartet.... superbly virtuosic!'
The Western Australian Times

Music Network Tour, Dublin
'... Think of Liszt putting pianists through their paces in his operatic paraphrases or fantasias and you'll be on the right track. The 4-MALITY players take the theatricality of percussion performance as a gift to be seized on, and their show runs with a slick, well-oiled purr behind the blur of mallets and the finely co-ordinated drills.'

'The Concert Hall was packed and the audiences gave a standing ovation. The audiences were taken a back by the groups unique stage presentation.'

Stroud Fringe Festival
'...4-MALITY are truly masters of percussion and their technical skill is really very impressive. They managed to coax some pretty improbable sounds out of their instruments and their timing was impeccable. It crossed my mind that 4-MALITY were not really a band but secret ambassadors for the marimba...There were moments of brilliance, yes they have really got something.'

Edinburgh Fringe Festival
