WORLD CHAMPION WHISTLER VISITS THE COSTA BLANCA

David Morris, is set to visit and perform with his friends JB Brass Band at 2 concerts on the Costa Blanca.

David is a professional whistling artist. He performs as a soloist with orchestra, concert and brass band and has won the title of World Whistling Champion at the global event in the USA.

David’s roots lie in playing the cornet from the age of 13, subsequently he played principal cornet and became the Cornet Champion of Great Britain.

Long before David started playing the cornet in Saddleworth, where he has lived all his life, it was his whistling that first caught the ear of his music teacher,  he had perfect pitch and great style.

During the last 2 years David’s whistling has been featured in the Film “The Counselor” starring Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender & Cameron Diaz and also 2 high profile TV adverts in the UK. BMW Mini car & TSB Bank. The Mini car ad has since gone worldwide.

You can hear David in one of two concerts with JB Brass Band, firstly on 23rd June at the Music School in Guardamar and second at Union Musical in San Miguel. Both concerts start at 8pm and tickets are 5€.

Information on concerts and tickets available at [email protected] or The Book Shop San Miguel or The Post Room Benijofar. Profits from the San Miguel Concert to be donated to the Manchester Victim’s fund.

JUST BRASS TO FEATURE ON ITV

After a successful visit from BBC news last year to speak to and listen to the Band, word has spread about our little Band of Ex-pats. Last month saw the Band welcome ITV and the Tonight Programme to one of their concerts.

Four members of the Band and their Musical Director Brian Webber, spent a relaxed afternoon with the film crew and presenter Fiona chatting about life in Spain, life post Brexit and what the Band means to them.

The film crew then set up ready to film the Band during a concert for their BBb Bass player, Carl’s 70th birthday with his Norwegian family and friends. ‘I’ve played in some unusual places, but never with a camera in quite such a close proximity or pointing at me from the floor’ said Chairman Ian Gibson ‘but they were all very helpful and friendly and we look forward to seeing the final results’.
