Watch how 4 young musicians navigate their way through Europe armed with 2 video cameras, the instruments on their back, a pad full of Christmas tunes and their trusty steed; The Flash.

This years tour route sees the young Quarter Tones Brass Quartet travel to Berlin, Prague, Slazburg, Luxembourg and London.

Episode 1 Begins with controversy in London’s Covent Garden, the Flash’s race against time to the ferry, the first of a BRAND NEW FEATURE and an interesting journey to Berlin. All in all not a great start to the trip for us but an entertaining first Episode for you.

So enjoy Episode I of Series II

If you enjoyed this episode please leave me a comment, we love to hear what you think!

Episode II – Released Next Week (27/11/09)

We’ve been putting together ideas for our next tour in a few months as well as cataloging the footage from the last trip.

I had done this before but due to a faulty power supply I killed my 360gb harddrive that it was all saved on. I wasn’t very happy. I was even less impressed when my second external harddrive of 120gb died on me today.

I’ve now just given up with starting work on putting the footage together until I get my new iMac in the next couple of weeks. I’m pretty excited to have another mac join the family. Especially after a visit to my parents resulted on me trying to go on the internet on their PCs. I never thought I’d become a mac snob but after 20 minutes of waiting for the PC (Piece of Crap) to stop thinking and open Internet Explorer I nearly had an anxiety attack :) . They really are terrible. Still useful to have around!! But terrible.

I’ve got a couple of weddings to play over the weekend in the midlands so I’ll get back to you after then.

The gig at the Palace was amazing and the venue incredible. When I’ve had chance to swap photos with the rest of the Shades I’ll be posting all about it. It’s hard to believe that in a month I’ve played in Berlin, Prague, Salzburg, Luxembourg and Abu Dhabi. From freezing around Europe in the back of a motor-home to staying in a 5 star hotel, getting tanned by the pool and bringing in the new years for the capital of the UAE. It’s is quite a busy month.

So from today I’ll be resuming my normal post frequency for a brand new year.

Tired.. so very tired. We were in Luxemburg 14 hours ago!!

It was a great tour again with lots of good footage. We’ve just come back to my flat after dropping off the flash and now we’re heading to Covent Garden :S… tired. We got to Cologne at 2:30 this morning and the ferry left at 7:50am. We’ve been on the move ever since.

The guys want to leave before we lose the will so I’ll have to leave it there for this post.
