More bands putting on Wrong Trousers to attract audiences

The success of putting on some Wallace & Gromit Wrong Trousers is proving to be working for bands.

WALLACE AND gROMIT
  Wallace and Gromit are firm family favourites

There has been a great response from bands wishing to find out more about hosting a concert production of 'Wallace & Gromit' — 'The Wrong Trousers' the amazing Aaardman stop-motion comedy film.

30th anniversary

To mark its 30th anniversary Aardman has given permission for the film to be licenced and performed in a way that will make for a spectacular event for any band — and the response has shown that bands are willing to try something new to attract family audiences.

The success of the events put on by the likes of WFEL Fairey Band have shown that an inventive approach can work wonderfully well — with Nick Park's iconic film seeing the eccentric inventor Wallace take in a lodger, the devious penguin master criminal Feathers McGraw.

So if your band is interested in putting on the right 'wrong trousers' you need to find out more.
