Does anyone know if "Acid Brass", a.k.a. the Williams Fairey Brass Band, are still touring and recording? I'd presume that they wouldn't be doing the "Acid Brass" stuff any more, but does anyone know (a) if they do tours, and (b) if they've released any other records of brass band music apart from the studio and live "Acid Brass" CDs? Also, has anyone on the list actually seen them live? (I remember once reading a description of Bjork dancing down the front of one of their gigs during "WTIL"). John Not Scots, just Scott-ish

i'd be surprised - it seems that all interest in brass bands has waned a lot since then - and Acid Brass only came about because of the disappearance of so many brass bands it'd be nice if they were though - it's a traditional thing - someone should be keeping it alive -- --- "you're a dirty needle, you're in my blood and there's no curing me and i want to run, like the blood from a wound, to a place you can't see me cause love, like a blow to the head, has left me stunned and i'm reeling and if you go, Furious Angels will bring you back to me" -- Rob Dougan --- Furious Angels -- --------------------------------------------------- -- -- illitrate Publicashions --- - jai@illitrate.co.uk - http://www.illitrate.co.uk/ - --- ------------------------------------------------- ---
