A week to go to our merry March brass extravaganza with great tunes from Porgy and Bess, Carmen, Tico Tico and even Austin Powers @HolyApp #cheltenham #trumpet #trombone #betteronbrass

Mike Spink came to our Wednesday Stroud Brewery gig, captured some great #jazz #photos & made us all look pretty! Here’s a montage of his visual splendour & talents, plus our 2022 recording of “Sister Sadie.” linktr.ee/mikespink?fbcl… #LiveMusic #culture #photography #cotswolds

Just over a week until the next @AccidentalBrass gig @HolyApp ! #Cheltenham

Amazing turnout for last night’s @AccidentalBrass #christmas jolly! Pretty well a full house despite the footy! Super-poignant contribution from #Ukrainian refugee choir! And some great arrangements & audience participation! And over £600 raised in the interval for #DEC Ukraine!

Looking forward to Saturday morning interview on @BBCGlos with @nickyprice to talk about the @AccidentalBrass #christmas gig! Featuring a Ukrainian choir and everything you could ever want from brass - fanfares, carols, Christmas classics! Tickets here: buytickets.at/accidentalbras…

50% of the ABC gang on the @CrescendoBig gig today! Before and after…… #hardwork!

Great fun today! Terrific turn out and great to have the band back together! See you in February! Trumpets take a break….

Back @GupshillManor for our first gig in nearly a year. Come along at 3pm Sunday 30th for great big band sounds! #jazz #bigband #tewkesbury

And.... next month I have a brass quintet rehearsal with @OKhokher so #stepbystep we increase the numbers. A good while until we get back to the 11 piece @AccidentalBrass or 16 piece @CrescendoBig or 60 piece @CSOrch but we are getting there! #Covid19UK

This evening we should have been celebrating our 40th anniversary in front of a large crowd - congratulating ourselves on one of longest residencies ever for a #bigband in the UK. #keepmusiclive (or even just #keepmusicalive at the moment). But don’t worry - we’ll be back! #jazz

A true local legend! @glosinfo @GlosLiveOnline
