Hilarious Marching Band

[mesmerred]

A couple of times on the radio I have heard a terrible marching band which is off- key / off-time, but is hilarious to listen to. A "Les Dawson" of the marching bands. Does anyone know what the band is called and where I can download or hear them. Friends haven't heard them yet.

The Portsmouth Sinfonia fit your description but don't know if anyone is currently playing their music.

Try listening to their version of the William Tell Overture - makes even Les Dawson seem good.

If you click on this link and scroll to the bottom, you can listen to some recordings of PS. I believe they're working to reissue their original recordings.

However, they're not exactly what I'd class as marching band, so I'm not sure they're what you're looking for.

Mind you, a marching band playing off-key and out of tune is a pretty fair description of almost any scout band.

I think that this is the right band. Can't open the link and the moment but will get help. Looking forward to hearing them. I think.

Sorry, meant to say thanks to you both.
