Mnozil set for birthday return to UK

The brilliant brass boys of Mnozil Brass are set to make a birthday return to these shores in the next few months.

Mnozil Brass
 

The brilliant Mnozil Brass is coming to the UK once again at the end of May, as the anarchic Austrians bring their unique mix of comedy and musical genius to Oldham, Huddersfield and Llangollen for three very special shows celebrating the ensemble’s 20th anniversary.

Fans

The concerts are being organised by Diggle Band’s Brian Taylor and his friend Ruth Haas- Eckersley — the die-hard fans who first brought the group to the Uppermill Civic Hall back in 2008.

Special

And as Brian commented to 4BR, this year’s concerts promise to be very special indeed.

"Mnozil Brass have travelled the globe for many years now, but these birthday celebrations will have seen the guys visit Canada, USA, Malta, Italy, Slovenia and France, as well as in Basingstoke before they come to the UK once again at the end of May."

Amazing

He added: "For anyone that hasn’t seen them at first hand I can promise a musical and visual experience that you will never forget.

They really are the most amazing group of brass musicians and comedians I have ever seen, and the shows in Oldham and Huddersfield will see the guys performing their new show ‘Happy Birthday’ along with the wonderful ‘Blofeld’ show in Llangollen."

Brian also reminded 4BR: "Tickets are selling fast so please be sure to book as soon as possible as Mnozil’s shows are usually complete sell outs."
