Following Bill Bailey's sell out tours of his show 'Tinselworm' in the UK, Australia and New Zealand, Bill Bailey performed his latest production, Bill Bailey’s Remarkable Guide to the Orchestra, at the Royal Albert Hall on October 15th, 16th & 17th 2008.
Classically trained musician and hirsute comedian Bill Bailey’s surreal and musical imagination was let loose on the brilliantly versatile BBC Concert Orchestra, with the collaboration of Anne Dudley, one of the UK’s most celebrated composers and arrangers. The audience found out about cockney trombones, bassoon secrets, TV and film themes, and heard brand new versions of some of Bill's songs plus loads more in this irreverent guide to the orchestra, which The Times described as 'blissfully funny' and Stephen Fry called ' wonderfully enjoyable... like driving a Rolls Royce off-road'.
