Taking to the streets of Gloucester, SMOOSH! brings a high energy wind and brass band to Tredworth in a celebration of music, movement, and community.

A core of Paraorchestra musicians – accompanied by professional dancers, and alongside members of the local community (50 school children and a community choir) – will form a mobile human jukebox that invites you out onto the street to dance and sing along in a magnificent communal ‘mass-aoke’.
