Rimski & Handkerchief 's

Saturday Live at 5:05 

Broadcasts 

Here is a patchwork of highlights from the original 2020 11 week run
Saturday Live at 5:05 is a live streamed TV style show, which has been described as 'Playschool for adults' (although kids like it too!). It features music with the bicycle piano & double bassicle, Wind Ups of all sorts- including gramophone records- and other funny features & antics from Rimski & Handkerchief ....
Season one was a direct response to 'working from home' during lockdown, broadcasting live from Rimski's Yard HQ every Saturday at 5:05pm. It ran for 11 consecutive weeks during May- July 2020, with people tuning in from all over the globe via "Rimski & Handkerchief" FB page...
And with creative assistance/expert camera work from friend/storyteller/theatre maker,
 DR. J  Blake AKA Josie Jo! 
The show has been heralded as 'a much needed tonic in these uncertain times'.... 

The experimental Season 2 took place in August, during a brief chapter of appearances out in the big wide world, and had just three episodes. It explored having both live and online live audiences simultaneously- which was tricky! The first episode took place amidst 

The Bullzini Family Circus extravaganza in Evercreech, Somerset.      

An Autumn Special (featuring Blue Moon) then took place on Saturday 31st  October
And a two part Christmas  show- featuring Rimski & Handkerchief's Christmas Lucky Dip, took place on Saturday 12th & 19th December 2020
Two further shows took place in Spring 2021, but since then, real life touring has taken priority...

"So you think you've seen some weird people lately? Scroll through this and watch a pair of bonkers people being bonkers to the extent that they might just get to the nutter Olympics"
"Heading Magical travelling music conjured up in a Heath Robinson world of whimsy and surreal invention. COMPLETELY WONDERFUL"

"Impassioned Impressions Hoot & A Half Million! These Two, Fix It All! My Blues Are Flipp’n Rainbows Now!!!"
