Acid Brass
Posted by Simon Lewin

I have fond memories of playing trumpet & tuba (not at the same time) in our school brass band. Not long ago I mentioned this to a local barber who - I hadn't realised - was a local band leader. I had visions of being thrust on stage with the Aylsham Town Band but have managed to postpone taking on this committment for now.

Robin Turner's piece on Caught By The River on the work of Jeremy Deller reminded me of his Acid Brass collaboration with the Williams Fairey Brass Band, covering a number of acid house anthems including A Guy Called Gerald's "Voodoo Ray" and 808 State's "Pacific 202".
