Album ANW 3192Comedy Percussion 2
David O'Brien (PRS) | Paul Clarvis (PRS)Full of jaunty comedy, a tipsy tea dance band plays louche lounge, as a circus wind band creates a rousing introductory march. A romantic pastiche flows over plucked strings, making way for a frenetic silent movie chase with piano and xylophone.
