      Great description. Also Iโ€™d say a modern (21st century) answer.

          Understatement.

            @ShiroKuro A somewhat irreverent singing "comedian". Not my cup of tea. His schtick gets old rather quickly.

            The industrial revolution cheapened everything.

              I like to think of him as the 20th centuryโ€™s precursor to Tim Minchin.

                  The Tim Minchin video is really good.

                    Love the mellow sound of the brass!

                      Very little information about the band is to be found.
                      It seems to be the only recording available by the original City of London Brass. The band was made up of students from the London Music Colleges and other London educational institutions, so had youthful, talented, semi-pro players.
                      Formed in 1971 and lasted maybe only 4 years.
                      Guessing it depended on their conductor, Geoffrey Brand who died recently at the age of 97, and was an influential and inspirational band/trumpet man over decades.
