More oompah: La Brass Banda at Band on the Wall

Oz Clarke once attributed the whole idea of civilisation to the greatness of beer. It’s a good point – and this glorious concoction of water, yeast, malt and hops that has led to another great event: a partnership between Warsteiner and Band on the Wall. The union is being celebrated with an appearance by acclaimed off-beat German brass band, La Brass Banda. Seeing as Warsteiner is a popular choice at a diverse range of music festivals, Band on the Wall are celebrating with this special line up. So if you enjoy clanging steins to oompah music, this could be the night for you.
