“The world is a circus” reads the programme for the latest show – Cirque – from septet Mnozil Brass, who return to Nottingham for a show at the Royal Concert Hall this month. Merging comedy with virtuoso brass performances, they astound audiences the world over with the quality of their music, while simultaneously dissolving them into hilarity. A band that has to be experienced to be truly appreciated, they are funny, but the music, their talent and their sheer love of their craft is always front and centre.
