WFEL Fairey in The Wrong Trousers

Nearly 30 years since the film premiered in the UK, WFEL Fairey Band is preparing to bring to life a screening of ‘Wallace and Gromit: The Wrong Trousers’, complete with live brass band accompaniment. 

The performance will take place at Stockport Plaza on July 17 at 3.30pm and will see the debut of the new version of the score. Wallace and Gromit: The Wrong Trousers tells the tale of eccentric inventor Wallace as he takes in a new lodger, a devious penguin. Wallace’s loyal canine companion, Gromit, is moved out of his bedroom to make way for the new guest, but Gromit soon discovers all is not as it seems when the cool-as-a-cucumber new arrival takes a keen interest in Wallace’s techno-trousers.

Adam Cooke, musical director of WFEL Fairey Band, said: “The band is excited to be working on this unique performance, putting Wallace and Gromit on the big screen and introducing them, and brass bands, to new audiences. If you’ve never seen a brass band perform before, this special family-friendly concert is the perfect introduction.”
