Friday 9 July - Les Trompettes de Lyon (FRANCE)
Les Trompettes de Lyon is not just your average brass group...but more a stage show that is unabashedly entertaining and humorous. These musicians have progressively let their taste for quirky fun run loose on stage raising the question 'are these trumpeters who were taught to act or are they actors who have picked up the trumpet?'
