Hosepipes do not normally feature heavily in classical music - but the garden essential will pop up in a family event during King's Lynn Festival.
In what promises to be a lively session, world-famous trumpeter Crispian Steele-Perkins will introduce the audience to some of his huge collection of 100 musical instruments.
The ancient Lynn town centre church of All Saints, with its excellent acoustic, will provide the setting for Hosepipes, Horns and Trumpets at 11am on Saturday July 19 when Mr Steele-Perkins will tell the story of the trumpet by demonstrating his fascinating array of brass instruments.
The virtuoso musician has become a popular figure with Lynn Festival audiences after a number of concerts in the town.
“I always enjoy being part of Lynn Festival. It has a nice friendly atmosphere and I have played in some wonderful historic venues,” he said. “It will be a family event which will be informative, entertaining and fun. People are always very interested to discover that my hobby is also my job because I collect instruments and restore them.”
