Wrong Trousers for WFEL Fairey
Players from the WFEL Fairey Band will mark the 30th anniversary of an iconic piece of British cinema later this year as they perform across the Midlands and North of England to celebrate 'Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers'. The Academy Award winning short film was released in 1993, the same year in which the then Williams Fairey Band claimed a famous 'Double' winning both the British Open and National Championships of Great Britain.
Following the success of the film's premiere with brass band accompaniment of Julian Nott's score in July last year in Stockport, the band has once again teamed up with Aardman Productions to exclusively perform to audiences across the UK. Horn player James Parkinson who coordinated the initiative and tour stated, "The band are excited to be working with Aardman again, putting Wallace & Gromit on the big screen. If you've never seen a brass band perform before this special family-friendly concert is the perfect introduction and plenty of fun for all the family."
