Two nutters with two melodicas playing some phenomenal music. Here is their take on "Rhapsody in Blue":-

I love stuff like this - people making music in really creative ways.

On the strength of this, Dez has decided he wants a melodica for Christmas from us. It has just arrived. The peace has been shattered.

Oooh oooh please Mr Wowbagger I've been goodish all year can I have one too !

I've always hankered after a melodica.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

I always confuse melodica, harmonica, harmonium, accordion and concertina.

Well, I lied about the harmonica.

Melodeon covers two of those bases. They're all reed instruments which remind me of "Sing Something Simple, and Jack Emblow in particular.

Melodica men are awesome.

Seems they only found out Mendelssohn wrote the melody to 'Hark the Herald Angels Sing' when compiling their Christmas video...
