Geneva Instruments would like congratulate Geneva endorsee Mike Eccles for his magnificent ‘Best flugel’ performance at the recent Brass in Concert Championship at The Sage Gateshead with the Fairey Band.

Brilliant

His brilliant rendition of ‘The Girl from Ipanema’ was of course delivered on a Geneva flugel horn – the choice of finest brass players in the banding world – and the perfect instrument to portray the sultry sun kissed beaches of Rio de Janiero at a time when the dark nights were drawing in over Newcastle!!!
