Because of a wedding anniversary, the Hurricane Brass Band was invited to perform a gospel song during the mass on Sunday 27 March, as a surprise, together with the church choir St. Cecilia St. Pieter Beneden. The choir, the audience and the band enjoyed this very much!

During and after the mass, besides the church choir, the Hurricane Brass Band also played a few songs, for which we were complimented afterwards (thanks for that!). After the mass we went on a ‘congratulations round’ with two birthday boys and girls and had our musical Sunday breakfast.

Below a short impression of a beautiful Sunday morning.

In the interview, they explain (in English) how the Hurricane Brass Band originated in Maastricht.

The interview below is a true collector’s item!
