Das Zupforkestra



Okay, okay, I love the UK lay lays.

About 1976 Seigried Behrend toured NZ with his Zupforkestra - or pluck orchestra. I saw them in Napier.

They did a lot more than pluck, using their instruments as percussion as well. I can't find the Zupforkestra, but here's Seigfried. He's a master without doubt.

Hi Rob,

That's a great piece of music and, if you'll pardon the pun, the chap himself is quite a spectacle.

I often wonder what happened to musicians and performers. You know, people who can play instruments live on stage and even talk about it.

What part of Spain does he come from?
