The Barry Horns are an eleven-piece brass band, made up of fans of the Welsh national football team. Formed in 2011, the band's name is a homage to retired Welsh footballer Barry Horne. The band has a five-point mission statement called the ''Barryfesto'', which notes that the band exists in order # to unite Welsh football with the power of horns # to put tunes on the terraces # to bring hope where there is mathematical impossibility # to replace plastic hooters with brass ones # to win at life when we can't win at football.〔http://www.guardian.co.uk/cardiff/2011/mar/31/barry-horns〕〔http://www.thebarryhorns.com/barryfesto.html〕 Musically the band play a variety of songs, many of which are associated with Wales and/or football, including "Can't Take My Eyes Off You", "Just Can't Get Enough" and "Pick Up the Pieces". The Barry Horns' first public appearance was outside the Wales v England World Cup Qualifying match in Cardiff on 26 March 2011. They also appeared at the Welsh Cup Final in the same year,〔http://www.faw.org.uk/news/FAW61265.ink〕 which was broadcast on S4C. Their other media appearances include performing on BBC1's flagship football programme Football Focus,〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/danwalker/2011/03/focus_on_the_road_and_up_the_h.html〕 BBC Radio Five Live and in a short promotional campaign for BBC Wales' coverage of Welsh national football.〔http://www.guardian.co.uk/cardiff/2011/mar/31/barry-horns〕 In December 2011, they were the house band on the Jamie and Louise programme on BBC Radio Wales, playing a variety of Christmas related songs including an interpretation of East 17's 'Stay Another Day'.〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b017szyp〕 In February 2012, The Barry Horns released a video for their version of the ''Rocky'' theme, which they recorded as the anthem for Wales's World Cup 2014 qualifying campaign.〔http://www.walesonline.co.uk/footballnation/football-in-wales/2012/02/27/supporters-band-barry-horns-gear-up-for-wales-world-cup-2014-qualification-91466-30417367/〕 The video featured members of the band in various training scenarios as a parody of the training montage from the film. In December 2013, the band released a cover of the song "Only You", 30 years after the cover by The Flying Pickets had earned a Christmas Number 1. The recording failed to make the UK charts but proceeds were donated to the charity Prostate Cymru, with a dedication made to the Flying Pickets' lead vocalist, Brian Hibbard, who died of prostate cancer in 2012. A music video released on YouTube paid homage to the original Pickets video from 1983. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Barry Horns」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
