That Last Post vs Southampton

[youngbob]

If I am not mistaken the guy played the Last Post on a trumpet and not the traditional bugle. The trumpet gives a more accurate sound on the notes whereas a bugle had no keys and it is all lip work.

This would explain it.

It was that good, that for a second I thought it was a recording being played.

Exactly this

Wow, just wow

As a few others have said, I thought it was pre recorded and played over the tannoy. I was looking around the ground to try and see the musician, but failed to spot him.

I used to be a trumpet player in a brass band, and I have to say it was the sweetest, flawless rendition of The Last Post I have ever heard.

It was excellent.

I'm sure he was practicing in the ground one evening last week. I overheard rendition when I wandered by. Great job.

Invite him back on the 8th for the WSL game in the Etihad.

Yep, jokingly I said that was perfect, this bloke must be from the Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band.

 

[Keeper!]

Found it. God, he approached it perfectly.

Magnificent and what it represents should never be forgotten, even more so in these crazy right wing fascist days where the likes of Tiny Tommy Robinson, Farage and Trump are seen as some sort of heroes and role models.

The Last Post always brings a lump to my throat and tears to my eyes.
A very moving tribute played impeccably on the bugle.

I always give it my full attention at the match, but it's when I'm home alone listening to it, shakes me to the core.

Has anyone got a clip of it?

Incredible performance from the young lad yesterday. In 20 years of attending Armistice Day games, I've never heard a Last Post performed so impeccably.

Note perfect throughout.

It got me properly emotional. To stand up in front of 55,000 and perform like that took serious guts. Fantastic stuff - his family should be proud.

I thought he played it brilliantly.
