....expect a pair of trumpets, a bass clarinet, an enormous vibraphone, an electric piano, trombones, tubas, saxophones, stomping, parping and gold-plated tonsils! This is Hopetoun Brown and the genius of Finn Scholes.....welded to their shrieking horns as children they now roam the country bringing joy and soul with their stratospheric high notes and liberal helpings of deep-down brass bass! They'll be playing songs from Hopetoun Brown's three celebrated long-players with a smattering of repertoire from the outstanding and unusual Carnivorous Plant Society of which Finn Scholes is the leader. Expect two sets! Expect dancing and much singing! Stomp along as these unique players flex their chops freshly tuned on this current 36 date tour! They wowed crowds at this year's WOMAD, they sailed into the Waiheke Jazz Festival and astonished the locals while the throngs danced the night away at Splore Festival while the Hopetouns blew the house down! Not to be missed!
