Re: Brassed Off flugel solo

I can't remember seeing her use her left hand on the valves.

Isn't it frustrating that every time someone is in a film or on TV playing
a brass instrument, it is always some actor who hasn't got a clue how to
play one, and just presses the valves randomly (even during long notes!!). 
Its nice to see that it takes a British film to try and be realistic,
rather than the poor American ones (I bet I get a reply from someone for
saying this!).

Martin Irwin

ps. I was watching her hands, but if you want to see something more of Tara
Fitzgerald other than just pressing valves, watch the film Sirens, I'm sure
you know what I mean!!
