Face Trumpet

I have written here before about the cultural stew created when you combine years of professional dance training, ukelele and a seriously off the wall sense of humour.

Wel the latest video from Face Trumpet is their strangest yet, a tribute to the head-nodding genius of Bobby Crush. Honestly.

There is a rumour of some live dates in the new year. The mind boggles.

Face Trumpet

Many moons ago I trained as a dancer. It may be hard for those of you who know me now to picture me in tights, but it's true. Needless to say I didn't have what it takes to be the real Billy Elliot (quite apart from the fact that I grew up in Kent, hardly a gritty mining community). However, one of my friends from that time has gone on to achieve real success as a dancer, appearing in the very show which features at the end of the film Billy Elliot. His talents do not end there however, oh no, he is also a musician/songwriter/artist, one of those people who seems to be able to do all sorts.

So what happens when you combine these talents? What does the melting pot of dance/song and ukelele look like? Well, wonder no more. I give you Face Trumpet.
