Mr Wilson's Second Liners

Due to lack of plans, I went into Chelmsford town with my 'rents on Saturday to do some shopping. 

Whilst in town, we noticed all of these unusual activities going on, street performers and Morris dancers etc. however, the one act that stood out among the gathered crowds was Mr Wilson's Second Liners. 

This colourful 'marching band' put a whole new spin on the bog-standard bands that you see in the street. Sporting outfits in bold colours, different types of hats and beards, Mr Wilson's Second Liners played a mixture of different dance tunes using your everyday brass and percussion instruments; Some of these covers include Massive Attack and New Order. 

The band got the crowds dancing and certainly brightened up your average, grey Saturday in Chelmsford town centre. We later discovered that the events were all linked to a Uni open day.

I have a video however, it is not the best quality, so you can find the band on YouTube but also they have a website which I will link below. The band are available for bookings & will definitely be on my list for special occasions.
