"Essex"



What can I say?! You were all absolutely amazing yesterday, you really made the day! Watching everyone sat in Council Chambers with you playing in the middle was probably the best moment I have ever had in this job, I have never seen a council building so brought to life. So many people commented about how great you were and the evaluation sheets we gave out at the end of the day were full of praise for you. We hope to put on another event like yesterday quite quickly for all the people who missed out on attending the first one and we really hope you would want to work with us again. I cannot thank you enough, in all my years of youth work you truly ran the best workshop I have ever seen! Well done to you all and I hope the journey back to Plymouth was not too terrible.

"M.O.P"

Good evening to you.
I kid you not I nearly fell over when I saw where all the music was coming from. What a marvellous idea, and what talent. The three musicians looked like they where having a whale of a time too. Very very impressed. I have found your website and that amazed me too.
Luckly I had my camera and I just had to capture the moment. I have posted them on Wild about Britian in there enviromental section as I just had to share something that I consider so full of potential. You have covered music, recycling and youth activity all in one swoop. I hope you don't mind.

If you want me to post a message on there on your behalf, I'd be glad to.
HATS OFF TO YOU.
The photos are yours to use if you like, I think only two are in true focus.
Once again Brilliant
I will be singing your praises to who ever will listen.
Keep up the good work.

Bio

Not Your Average Band: Hailed as the UK’s greenest band Weapons of Sound thump out their eclectic brand of junk percussion on an array of unusual instruments from shopping trolleys and plastic barrels to gas pipes and scaffolding poles…….. …. they even use the kitchen sink!

Travelling all over the world the innovative group dazzle and motivate audiences with their jaw dropping show and inspire people of all ages with their encompassing workshops.

The Music: Impossible to pigeon hole Weapons of Sound’s back catalogue has broad appeal with drum and bass and break beat style records followed by blues and swing numbers all impossible to sit still to.

Highlights so far: Since 1993 Weapons Of Sound have performed both nationally and internationally in over 2000 gigs and workshops in stadiums, theatres, large festivals, community and street festivals, carnivals, clubs, cabaret stages and street corners as well as a whole host of prestigious corporate events across the UK and the world. WOS have also found themselves added to the bill of some very unusual events including the launching of the XBOX, the Surfers Against Sewage Ball and playing with friendly rivals The Blue Man Group in Canary Wharf, London. Most recently Weapons of Sound are honoured to have been approached by the United Nations!

Other performance highlights include performing at the Royal Albert Hall to a star studded audience which included HRH Prince Charles and Al Gore (2007), entertaining 85’000 people at Twickenham rugby stadium to open the Heineken Cup Final (2007) and warming up the crowds at the Champions League final at the Stade de France in Paris (2006). Not to mention the top slots at hundreds of festivals, including Glastonbury and Reading, over the years.

From street corners to stadiums Weapons of Sound have done it all and with a new management team at the helm as well as a fifteen strong team of polished junk percussionists and workshop leaders, they are showing no signs of slowing down.

Green Noise: The current global concern for the environment makes Weapons of Sound even more relevant. They are extremely proud of the green message they are spreading by entertaining audiences globally with their unique brand of junk percussion. As well as offering a pioneering method of reducing, re-using and recycling Weapons of Sound are a phenomenal act with a jaw dropping show to appeal to any audience!

UPDATE JUNE 2009 - We have just started a project working with The United Nations to promote "Seal The Deal", the powerful new campaign that will be replacing the Kyoto agreement at the UN Climate Change conference in Copenhagen in December 2009. We were approached by the UN in April as they wanted to use our music and videos to promote the campaign in the lead up to the summit in December (www.coolplanet2009.org/weapons-of-sound.html).

Weapons of Sound plant a tree for every confirmed booking!
