    Bro I don’t care how accurate this performance is it’s hilarious asf

    I performed the Grand Grand Festival overture at London’s festival hall for Malcolm Arnold’s birthday with the actress Hayley Mills as one of the Hoover players. Arnold was in the audience. Your orchestra sounded great, but next time you need the old uprights that are louder. Hayley Mills even began moving it backwards and forwards as they did. FYI

      Three vacuum cleaners, one floor polisher. When my city band did it, we got the Mayor to play the floor polisher.

    This is the third clip I have played, and I have yet to find one performance that is accurate. A pathetic starting pistol is not a substitute for the obbligato rifles, the vacuum cleaners are supposed to be noisy uprights (this was written in 1956 after all) and where is the wonderful organ?

      The one obscured by the conductor is an upright; you can see it when he slumps over. The pistol is okay for artistic license. Agree that not using the organ is a sin. Unfortunately the best version of this piece (the Proms one from 2009, which had David Attenborough on a floor polisher) to have appeared on RUclips has been removed. Sad, because it's not like there's any point holding the copyright over something that was on TV ten years ago and you can't exactly commonly buy in shops.

    There is a great church organ in that hall, but the organ part is played by a keyboard. Why? There is no 32 ft register in that silly loudspeaker, so you could have taken the church organ as well.

    Recommend authentic retro upgrade Hoover Junior, which Malcolm Arnold would have been familiar with, which are much noisier but very effective vacuum cleaners too: ruclips.net/video/i1AWj5m51V8/видео.html
