SAVED is a playful exploration of sound through vintage tech and found objects. Featuring rescued 70s home organs, cassettes, a turntable, AM radios, and a modified whisk, the show invites you on a sonic odyssey. Journey through the ordinary moments of daily life, where familiar sounds are transformed into something unexpectedly beautiful. Immerse yourself in this curious world, where the mundane is reimagined and the boundaries between music, noise, and everyday sound blur.

SAVED is currently available for bookings. To learn more or to host the show, download the tour pack here.

SHOW POSTER

WATCH TRAILER

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “..mesmerisingly poetic compositions”   
Anne-Charlotte Gerbaud, Fringe Biscuit

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “…quaint yet ingeniously deployed array of pre-digital technology…cheerfully bleeping and blooping keyboards.”
Jim Gilchrist, The Scotsman

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “”…navigating his miscellany with a blend of childish glee and stone-faced professionalism… Saved is a joyful way to spend the afternoon.”
George Sully, Fest magazine

“Its tone is so distinctive, so deliberately dowdy, so utterly just-so. It knows exactly what it’s doing and it does it sublimely.”   
Lyn Gardner, Stagedoor 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“..fascinating to watch, and often amusing, if not laugh-out-loud funny.”   
David Chadderton, British Theatre Guide

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 “Boldly inventive, quirky and challenging…Saved doesn’t just question our throwaway culture—it satirises our view of the past as defunct, valuing what can be used or salvaged.”  Helen Tope, The Reviews Hub

“Total kitsch joy, delivered with a beautifully hidden tongue-in-cheek… but also bright, earnest, and demonstrative of exceptional musical skill.”
Donald Stewart,  Fringe Review 

“Brian Eno, David Bowie, Sparks, Kraftwerk, Morrissey and Acorn Antiques – loved it.”   
Martin Mendelssohn,  Audience Reviewer

“A joy, a delight, whimsical and utterly engaging. Seek it out, there seriously is nothing like it”   
Andrew Meadowcroft, Audience Reviewer
