Orkestra Del Sol's WORLDFAMOUSNESS getting OUT OF HAND…

Thank you once again for having enough of yourself to be on the
mailing list of ORKESTRA DEL SOL, your favorite GLOBE-TROTTERING band of itinerant POLTZERS. Now then, you're probably desperate with yourself to see us LIVE again in 2007. But WAIT SOME MORE, details of where you can see us living is at the end of this letter. We have IMPORTANT MOMENTS to share with you first…

The winter was mostly long and dark. SINCERO MINIMO polished his LIBIDO. MARCOZITO gazed hopefully into the bell of his sousaphone hoping that the bun that fell in it during last years Big in Falkirk would appear and give him nourishment. Then, suddenly, the Orkestra was invited to DELHI, where we played against the JAIPUR KAWA BRASS BAND and got about in THREE WHEELED VEHICLES and on RAJASTHANI NATIONAL TV. You can see the result of the match on our web-site.

Returning from the sub-continence, the ORKESTRA realised it had
acquired two NEW BAND MEMBERS. Boy wonder PHIL PHILIDOPOLIS, 12 year son of Stavros and Hope-Philidopolis, of Glaswegan Feta Cheese Import-Export fame had joined the band on 100 mile-an-hour trumpet.

Having accidentally fallen into the sousaphone case looking for a
sweetie, CAMEROON CAMINHO, 19 stone highland teuchter kitten from Gala had joined the band on 240 volt bass drum. They have both contributed in the Orkestra's music sounding much better than it actually is!

Buoyed by the LARGENESS and YOUTHFUL LOOKS of it's new members, the ORKESTRA has gone on to make its second, yes SECOND ever recording, in the style of a large carnival calypso polka band. Rarer than a Welshman in a jacket, these EPs will ONLY be available at our EP LAUNCH at The Caves, Edinburgh, on Thursday May 3rd and only afterwards if you are very nice to certain members of the saxophone section.

Not satisfied with traveling the world and committing ourselves, the ORKESTRA has been in development of a NEW STREET SHOW that will be on YOUR STREETS from May this year, and a number of OTHER ROADS and FIELDS this summer, including MOTORWAYS! It will contain an IMPORTANT MOMENTS for many people, including yourself, regardless of whether or not you are actually at the gig.

See you on your streets!
