Orkestra del Sol's FUN WARNING!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

***Please read this in a silly accent***

WORRYING TIMES are afoot amongst us, and this email should serve you as a warning. This is not just any old watch-out-for-strangers type of advice. It's another sort entirely. Friends, this is a FUN WARNING.

Yes, fans of your favourite STEAM CONDUITS of the melodic vapour, ORKESTRA DEL SOL, we have written this circular as a WARNING that you run a HIGH RISK of having FAR TOO MUCH FUN at upcoming concert performances. We suggest watch the following (but please, SHIELD your EYES if you are of a ill-tempered or HUMBUGGING disposition, or are prone to infection by GIGGLING or HILARITY):
May 2010 Tour



Yes Ladies and Gentlemen, THIS is the EVIDENCE. Proof that going to see ORKESTRA DEL SOL creates a level of FUN leading to spilt pints, hoarse voice-boxes, extension, spontaneity, sore muscles, smile cramps, unforeseen romance, stitches and beaming. Please bear in mind that Marco, our world-famous SOUSAPHONIST and cake aficionado, was filming this material whilst PLAYING HIS MASSIVE INSTRUMENT, and should be forgiven any irksome camera wobble or flare.

Hidden behind those HAPPY SMILING FACES of our fans are the facts. Un-hoovered spare-rooms and neglected soap operas. Dormant facebook accounts, latent hangovers, and the wrong types of milk. Don't say we didn't warn you. To conclude: watch out on that happiness, Britain. Choose any number of ORKESTRA DEL SOL CONCERTS from the list below, arrive with your comrades in a level mood, maybe slightly jolly, and let's just see how it goes.

Your friends,

Orkestra del Sol

PS Have you got some shakey, pixellated, phone camera footage of your friends the ORKESTRA? Or perhaps you've filmed yourselves PLAYING TOP TRUMPS? Send it to us, please, and you might find yourself starring in our next film!
