2010 Edinburgh Fringe

Until recently, Steve knew almost nothing about pop music. Determined to change this, he began listening to every pop song ever known, from prehistoric boneflute music to Jedward. Unlikely connections emerged and he found himself on a Darwinian voyage of discovery. Would a merciful God have created N-Dubz? Are the Rolling Stones the transition fossils between medieval minstrels and Muse? Presenting his findings for the first time, Steve attempts to recreate the history of pop on a trumpet, toy guitar, fondue set and whatever else he can find. Just as Darwin would have wanted.
