Time is a very interesting concept - it is something that underpins nearly everything that we do in our daily lives. But what happens when time is distorted? Distorting time is the theme that Bernie, Sandy and Michael explore in this show, each taking a difference perspective on the theme, but all coming up with great songs, and making sure that they make every second count.
