FUN and frolics as well as fantastic music are on the cards when Travelling by Tuna land in the Borders.

The irrepressible duo of Chris Cranham and Stewart Death tell the story of the tuba from its early origins using wind and brass instruments from all over the world

Audiences at next weekend's performance for Hawick Music Club can expect a 1,000 year-old Swiss Alpine Horn, a Roman Cornu and a Zulu Warrior's Kurdu Horn just for starters.

From the East there will be a pair of Tibetan Dungs, which are played by the Buddhist Monks, and a Chinese Dragon -Headed Trumpet.

And you could be introduced to the Cimbassa - a cross between a Tuba and Trombone.

Vanda Mercer from Hawick Music Club said: "Having been established for 27 years Travelling by Tuba is now on its final tour so this performance is not to be missed."

Travelling by Tuba's repertoire begins with The Hungarian Dance No 5 by Brahms.

A selection of Africans spirituals follows with three beautiful melodies, My Lord What a Morning, By and By and Deep River.

Handel's first oboe concert is next, along with the third movement of Mozart's fourth concerto for horn which is full of fun and life. The world of brass bands is also represented with George Doughty's Variations on Grandfather's Clock.

And that's just the opening half of the show.

The second half includes Ole Schmidt’s concerto for Tuba, Two Moods for Tuba, and The Flight of the Bumble Bee.

Travelling by Tuba play at the Heart of Hawick on Sunday (January 20) from 2.30pm.

Tickets, which are available from the Heart of Hawick, for non-members cost £10 with under 18s free.
