If you exclude the saxophone you exclude rock'n'roll.

I'll go with Paul Mccartney for starters:

McCartney and Martin had a real feel for brass bands exemplified on

Martha My Dear - The Beatles

Wunderlust - Paul Mccartney ( from the fabulous Tug Of War Album)

and there's all you need is ;ove, of course, but I think the above are better examples of brass band work...

... on the subject of Love ... Alone Again, Or

regardez youse

henri

ps haven't started on the Bonzos yet, check it when I get home from the office (if ever)...

ah..finally, a chance to hear


Tubas In The Moonlight - Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band

regardez - vous

henri

Tuesday

Teardrop Explodes - 'Reward'

Steven Lindsay - 'Kite'

Edwyn Collins - 'Losing Sleep'

O and ...

The Fever - Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes

... not to be confused with the Peggy Lee Classic 'Fever'

and

'Fever - Sarah Vaughan ( Adam Freeland Remix)

which can be confused with the Peggy Lee Classic 'Fever', but being a remix, is, ofcourse, a great improvement upon the original... did youse not enjoy my Dinah Washington shout last night?

regardez youse

Can I second Wanderlust by Paul Mccartney.

I think it was the name of one of his boats.

Wanderlust that is.

Dexy's Midnight Runners - 'Breaking Down The Walls of Heartache'

I have requested this before to no avvail, hopefully it fits the theme perfectly:

Tom Russell and Calexio - East of woodstock, West of Vietnam



fantastic song, lots of brass, no sax.

Or

Ry Cooder - I Got Mine

or

Springsteen - E Street Shuffle

Also

I suggested this for Big Band night and it went down a storm, another outing woulod not go amiss:

Southside Johnny and Tom Waits - Walk Away

Tubas In The Moonlight...been requested many times...It's a nice wee song and I'd like to hear it played on GIO.

'Ruler Of My Heart' - Dirty Dozen Brass Band (with Norah Jones).

#9

I think it's Calexico - California/Mexico - like twin town Mexicali.

Are you sure there's no sax on the Springsteen track?

These songs are all very well but there's no musical meat - like a diet of steamed fish.

RIGS OF THE TIME from BURLESQUE by BELLOWHEAD

If the MOTHERS OF INVENTION played English Folk Music it would sound like this!

FOR CALVIN (AND HIS NEXT TWO HITCH-HIKERS) from THE GRAND WAZOO by THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION

If BELLOWHEAD….etc

EDWARD SAYERS’ BRASS BAND from CONTRABAND by CONTRABAND

Pre Ossian.

Hmmmm might be sax on the Springsteen track. I admit it.

Calexico of course! Sorry about that - I think it is a good track....

Don't do it again. I'm off for my mandolin lesson.

Good luck with No Sax Please - We're Scottish.

Intervention - Arcade Fire

Consequences - Robert Cray (with Memphis Horns)

Changes - Stars (Chris Seligman on french horn)
OK it's not full-on brass band, but a lovely song

trumpets, trombone and saxes on

Little Angel - Frankie Miller

or

With You in Mind

from same album. Several others from High Life would be excellent too.

10/10 - Paolo Nutini

Paolo - the other one, that is, can we hear the stories about Frankie Miller at the next get together plz, as long as it's not the one about in the lift

#2 #3
That was quick. do you have a tardis?

#17 The lift?

Ah, a chance to get Jackie Leven, from the kingdom of fife, on here.

Recognised as a folkie/soul singer, the track My Spanish Dad from the album Shining Brother, Shining Sister features a wonderful trumpet refrain..

Also featuring the wonderful Debbie Greenwood on backing vocals.

Go on, give it a try, you know it makes sense..

Is it only men with big moustaches that can play the big tubas or only the men who play the big tubas that are allowed to have big moustaches?

Whatever, I note one of the trombonists has hopes of moving up to a BT soon.

re post 20:

Oops, Album is Creatures of Light and Darkness, sorry..
DOes this count as two requests?!!

#19 the sordid details escape me, just remember thinking I really wish I hadn't read that.

Previously on the Blog...

Do the songs requested on the Mix blog count?

Its just that I'd hate for The Latin Brothers to get forgotten:



Another must for this evening:

"Sub-Zero Hell" - The Brass Monkeys

Good evening Bryan!

"I'll Play the Fool for You" - Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band

Thank you.

#25
nae luck Spanish Eyes. Bryan already has someone who plays the fool for him :-)

sheep say sin

#26

LOL O pablo!

Terry Wogan, eh?

Should have used brass sax's

Been a good show tonight even though it's been pretty much blog free. Don't remember any blog requests apart from glen's Otis and he didn't get hhe credit.

#Considering a fair few bloggers made their requests on the previous blog, which wasn't replaced til later on today, it's not really that surprising. I guess it's nopt easy to know when/ if they will update the blog anymore. Keeps us on our toes and our requests out of the show unless we're on them. ;o)
BTW - don't expect this one to be read now tonight's show is over, either. So why did I both with that Spiel?

missed "er" out there
aye

It was also a great show, I forgot to agree with that part. Variety. Last night's programme was just too samey.

#30 #31

I missed the original mention, but just before 7pm, Bryan was still looking for Fat and Frantic (which I happily provided btw) - don't know if anyone except me requested it.

Oh, hang on, I didn't - I removed Last Night My Wife Hoovered My Head from my list on the basis of obscurity.

#34

I also removed Reet Petite for the opposite reason: obviousness. Which all goes to show you never do know.
