Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very, very, very much. (Applause) So ... we are the Showhawk Duo. My name is Jake. This is my good friend Mikhail. And we met about 10 years ago, and we've been in a band ever since. We met through a mutual love of good music and playing the guitar. Mikhail: As simple as that. That's right, and this next song we're going to play for you guys, it started life as a classical piece of music. It was written by a guy called Samuel Barber. And then it was remixed in the '90s by a DJ called Tiesto. This is Adagio for Strings.

Mikhail: We didn't want to do too much talking, so I'll be quick. Our philosophy is to always try to play the most unexpected thing you can expect on the guitar. I know that doesn't make any sense, and - So bearing that in mind, we are going to move away from the dance music, and we're going to play you our rendition of Queen's classic, Bohemian Rhapsody. (Cheers) (Applause) J: Okay. Ah. See? You're all in good voice. So as I am sure, you're all aware by now, we don't sing. We strictly play guitar. We're not very good at singing. But you guys are all in really good voice. So it'd be really nice if we could get a few of you to join in and sing along. If you do or don't know the words, feel free to make them up as you go along. Most people do that anyway. Yeah, this is Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. Thank you very much. (Cheers) (Applause) (Music) (Cheers) (Cheers) (Applause) (Cheers) (Whistles) (Music ends) Thank you. (Cheers) Thank you very much. Thank you very, very much. (Applause)
