Oh my... our famous horn heroes are marching out to Kumeu for the first time ever! The boys will rock in with a truck load of trombones, saxophones, trumpets, tubas and a bass clarinet!
As well as all this brass there's the golden tonsils of Tim Stewart and the pyrotechnics of Finn Scholes electric piano playing, not to mention his outstanding skill on the vibraphone, a spectacular and arcane instrument from the past that sounds like the future.
But let's not forget the boots. They're huge! They stomp! The boys parp and sing while you dance! This outstanding trio of musicians play songs from three different Hopetoun Brown albums as well as journeys into the Carnivorous Plant Society set list and a smattering of classics. You'll be entertained by muscular multi-intrumentalism and rhythmic pulsing harmony. Not to be missed!
