Ladies and Gentlemen,
*** Please read this in a silly accent ***
I've been denying this to myself for a while (to keep GREGOVIC happy), but I think I have to come clean with you, our loyal and rather good looking fans. The ORKESTRA DEL SOL's European touring has completely GONE to their HEADS! You know what they say in on the incontinent: you give them 2.54cm and they take 1.6km. See for yourself on our new videos ONLINE at
www.orkestradelsol.co.uk [you may have to refresh the page on your browser]
Have those BRASS WIELDING INSTRUMENTALISTS OF JOY totally EUROPEANISED themselves beyond RECOGNITION? Let's see now:
- MARCO BATTENBURG is now UTTERLY ADDICTED to Czech GINGERBREADS (and we all know what that means..... OSTRAVA!)
- SINCERO MINIMO now has his own CATALUNYAN FAN CLUB (we all know what'll that means if he goes out in.....TARREGA!)
- OLGA finally managed to FIND HER CHAMPAGNE (and we all know what that means in, err.... CHAMPAGNE!)
- LORENZO is permanently LOST IN TRANSLATION (and nobody knows what that means, eh, LJUBLIANJA??),
- GREGOVIC says he never went.......ANYWHERE!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the ORKESTRA went the WHOLE COCHON this summer. SO MUCH European touring was had in SO LITTLE TIME that they got 568ml into a 284ml pot. AMAZING! But now, your favorite MUSICAL EURONOMISTS have barely a note left in them. Except (JOKING!) for a few CAREFULLY CHOSEN and extremely HIGH QUALITY music entertainment extravaganzas in what's left of two hundred and eight.
Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, we're in for a penny, in for 1.2 Euros at the amazing BALKANARAMARAMA in Calton Studios, Edinburgh on October 24th. You can even see SINCERO MINIMO on the flier. He loves it himself!
As for the remaindeer of the year we'll be resting our hats, suits, winkle pickers and instrumental brass sabers until the HAPPINESS that is HOGMANAY. Before the bells we'll be at PERTH (Scotland) CONCERT HALL, after the bells at Edinburgh's very own DEPARTURE LOUNGE, and the next day (yes - THE FIRST) we'll be on the Royal 1.6km at FEET FIRST, a celebration of all things new yearly by the best of Scotlands street artists.
Hope to see you there!
The Orkestra.
