The Boys And Girls In The Band.

[Tom Dunne]

A shot from a trip I did a few years ago. Rob, any of the instruments familiar?
Some info about the band can be found here

You can hear them on You Tube under Naxi Orchestra. Not an easy listen. I sat through two hours of it. Awesome all the same.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Very nice. Quite a band. I think thems pipas at the back. Love the cool shades on the guy, bottom left! What were they playing? Fields of Athenry?

 

[Dave Green]

Nice interesting shot! Guy standing is playing two WWI British Army helmets

 

[Pete Askew]

What a brilliant shot. Suitably quirky and exotic and the guy in the shades is wonderful - so incongruous. Lends it a slight Sgt Pepper / Bonzo Dog feel!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

That's wonderfully bizarre Tom

 

[Tom Dunne]

Thanks everyone. They are indeed great characters. Spot on Pete with the Pepper and Bonzos reminders.
Love it Dave; the cymbals analogy
