Hopetoun Brown release new album 'Live at WOMAD'

Our favourite brass trio Hopetoun Brown & the genius of Finn Scholes have just released their first ever live concert recording to coincide with a 22 date national tour: Hopetoun Brown Live at WOMAD.

Playing songs from their three highly regarded studio albums, you can expect to hear stratospheric high notes exploding from the trumpet bell of Finn Scholes, marvel at the sweat pouring off bass clarinet player Nick Atkinson as he underpins the lyrics produced by the golden tonsils of lead singer Tim Stewart. 

The trio bring trombones, saxophones, tubas, tambourines, a Rhodes electric piano and a full-size concert vibraphone to the stage, which will be constantly pulsing with Stewart’s legendary stomp. 

Thanks to the kind folks at Arts on Tour NZ.
