Rehearsing with 56 musicians is fun!

The prestigious Birmingham Conservatoire may be about to relocate to a swanky new building but as it is being demolished the amazing work that goes on inside continues. JB’s Conservatoire Folk Ensemble is now 19 years old (about the age of most people in it) and here they are in rehearsal playing Kodo, a tune arranged by Josh Wunderlich (electric guitar) for the ensemble.

This quick film was put together by Tom Chapman (djembe) with sound by Ben Weatherill (cajon).
