About Me

The Last Balloon Orchestra aren't exactly rock musicians - they haven't even got leather trousers. 'Symphony for Goat & Umbrella' comes from an age before computer recording made things sound right & proper. A world of the random and the slightly wobbly. The Last Balloon Orchestra likes the random and the slightly wobbly. Different instruments play different melodies at the same time and they wander around, bump into each other, shake hands and have tea. The ear isn't sure which one to follow. Things whirr, parp and hum in the background. Percussion tinkles and/or crashes along - sometimes in time, sometimes not quite and sometimes the percussion is the melody as well. It's all awfully good fun.Best enjoyed with a nice cup of tea. No goats were harmed or indeed even involved in the creation of these recordings
