The Fun Horns of Berlin come from the old East . The Voice of God Collective from the West. Jenkins 're-unificates' an eleven piece band that includes Huw Warren and Dave Ramm on keyboards & Roy Dodds and Steve Noble on drumkits. 'Close To You' (yes, The Carpenters!), 'Wanderin' Star' and 'What A Wonderful World' jostle with mega ensemble scoring. It all ends in tears.....

'Deliciously understated, so that when the temperature rises during the improvised parts, you feel the heat instantly. Irresistible.'  Chris Blackford / Rubberneck

'Even better than his live performances.' Steve Henwood / Venue Magazine

'a veneer of respectability...but underneath uniquely eccentric' 'The Fun Horns are a superbly tight well-drilled unit'
Chris Parker /The Times
