When I was in Lleida, Catalonia in April attending the 3rd Bicycle Congress, the conference arrangers hired 't Brabants Fietharmonische Orkest - or The Brabants Bikeharmonic Orchestra - to entertain the participants and locals alike.
What a great bunch of chaps, both on and off the bicycle. They travel all around Europe entertaining with their oompah music and everything revolves around the bicycle.
Here's a little film I whipped up with the boys on the bike. Much easier showing a film about musicians than trying to write about it, dontcha fink?
They have a driver who pulls the bike on a trailer around Europe to the various gigs. The volcano had paralysed air traffic - I was stuck in Barcelona for four days - but these guys bit the bullet and all rode home in this camper. Respect.

5 thinking out louds:
Wow - this might be the only reason that I keep playing the accordion.
Anyone else want to join my band of badassés?
I play a mean triangle.
Excellent movie.
I do the concert Ukulele. Notice I said do not play but sometimes it sounds like music.
Now there is a really cool bunch of musicians!
My psycho ex-boyfriend plays the Triangle. (No, I'm not kidding.)
How about drums?
Ukulele is cool.
I also do a mean Mick Jagger.
