Mnozil treat for 4BR readers

Goldy Solutions and 4BR have teamed up to bring you exclusive interviews and filming of the brilliant Mnozil Brass.

Mnozil meets 4BR
 

There will be an extra treat for Mnozil Brass fans on 4BR in the next few weeks, following their recent brilliant short concert tour to the UK.

Exclusive access

4BR recently made the trip up to Oldham where we were given exclusive access to the lads before, during and after their fantastic performance at the Queen Elizabeth Hall – including trying to find a shirt for trumpet player Robert Rother!

Blofeld

Goldy Solution’s Ian Clowes and 4BR Chris Thomas filmed and interviewed Mnozil as they prepared for the UK premiere of ‘Blofeld’ – and the results are entertaining as well as enlightening as we find out more about Mnozil and just what inspires them to produce their unique brand of entertainment.

So keep you eyes peeled because its coming soon!
