Brass band, five guitars and a pint of beer. Lockdown video.

Rowby1

An old drummer mate of mine runs a contemporary brass band (basically they play all sorts of covers with brass arrangements). He's actually a brass player and writes all the brass arrangements for them too. Anyway, like most bands, no gigs at the moment so he's started putting lockdown videos together and getting so of his old band buddies to guest where appropriate. 

This one features me and a bass playing friend too.....only thing is I decided to use a different guitar for each of the five guitar parts in the arrangement. Also went and grabbed a beer half way through whilst I was videoing and he decided to leave it in the final edit

I don't know the original but that was good. 

I was going to ask which one you were, but obv the guy with the beer at the end

@stratman3142 thanks! 

@stickyfiddle yes, I didn’t know it either when it was put to me. Yes, all the guitars are me I end up taking up the whole left hand side of the screen, all five of me!

I honestly didn't notice all the guitars were the same guy - I was waiting for the one with the beer!!  

It's been a looooong week...

I comprehensively love that. Brass sections do it for me. It fondly transports me back to my youthful obsession with US Comedy progs of the 70s for some odd reason. Nice one

Thanks! Glad you like it. Slow reply, somehow only just remembered I’d seen a comment from someone on this the other day. 

Yes, the whole brass band thing is quite subculture all of its own.
