JS Bach lived 300 years ago and laid the foundations for all of modern music, from The Beatles to Beethoven. He was also just a grumpy German bloke who loved beer and had 20 kids. Classical piano, presented with jokes by a bald dickhead with a beard. The follow-up show from Aidan Jones, after his critically acclaimed and award-winning show Chopin's Nocturne. 'Sidesplittingly funny' (Guardian). 'This should not work, but it does' (List). 'Deeply moving' (Scotsman).
