More Top Trumps!

Ladies and Gentlemen

***Please play this game in a silly accent***

''OK, errr, LUNG CAPACITY.... 4200cc"

"9000cc"

"6100cc"

"10cc"

"A great band but, gotcha - PHILODOPOULOS WINS!"

Ladies and gentlemen, playing ORKESTRA DEL SOL'S TOP TRUMPS is that easy. YES, it's that easy to enter the WORLD of US, your friends. To enter our MINDS. To commune with the SOULS of your favourite advocates of BRASSY BUFOONERY, their DISARMING SMILES, their UNSTOPPABLE GROOVES, their VISUAL LOOKS.

But Top Trumps may not be a concept that is familiar to all of you, our BELOVED FANS. Is it a GAME? Is it MUSIC? Is it a SHOW? Ladies and Gentlemen I have to tell you this: YES it is ALL of the ABOVE.... AND MORE!

But first, HOLD ON TO YOUR EXCITEMENT, and watch our SPECIAL PROMOTIONAL VIDEO below
(or go here)




Imagine an idea on SEVERAL LEVELS, like a house. At the ground floor lies the original TOP TRUMPS idea on whose door you have knocked - the 1980's card game, but with MUSICIANS INSTEAD OF CARDS! The next floor consists of ACTUALLY PLAYING THE GAME, like in the film. Gather around the table with a set of LIMITED EDITION CARDS and read out categories TO YOUR HEART’S CONTENT. Finally, on the roof, is the IDEA with THE BEST VIEW. You GO TO A GIG, with you FRIENDS (or family) and, OH MY GOD, all the ideas UNITE into an entire show of MUSICAL SHENANEGANS bringing you REVELRY and DANCING into your WEE SMALL hours!

Ladies and Gentlemen - CONTAIN your EXCITEMENT! Get online, find the gig, book those tickets and we'll see you for a game of TOP TRUMPS very soon!

Your friends,

Orkestra del Sol
