‘Silent screen, living sound’
Performance at Shambles Theatre, 20
September 2025, reviewed by Shamus Baker
Audiences were treated to an invigorating
immersion into the past on Saturday 20
September at Shambles Theatre, where pianist
David Selfe and percussionist Jeremy Fitzsimons
provided an ingenious musical accompaniment
to two silent films of the great Charlie Chaplin, A
Dog’s Life (1918) and The Pawn Shop (1916). All
music was composed by Selfe, and adapted by
Fitzsimons for their duo.
While this is not the place for a synopsis of either
film, both involved Chaplin’s iconic Little Tramp
persona in various scenarios of mayhem, trickery
and social faux pas, with his eventual triumph occurring against both the odds of ordinary logic
and his own relentlessly inventive disdain for normal codes of behaviour – to great comic
effect.
Both musicians did themselves great credit in a performance situation that stretched
concentration and agility to an unusual degree ....

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!! Can not thank this DUO for such a rememberable FAB night. Friends and family travelled as far as Auckland and Southland to attend our celebrations and were SUPER impressed with the variety of music you guys played on the night. Words can not express how grateful I am to you both for helping us out of a sticky situation and think that it was meant to be. I will be recommending you to Everyone and will definitely be booking you again in the future. THANKYOU SO much The party singers CHCH AAA+++++

They were outstanding. We had them as our wedding band in Wellington as we’d seen them at another wedding and loved them. They delivered as expected, great music, read the room well and performed incredibly.” – Steve Oheley
