We had a great first gig back last night at @windsoretonbrew brewery. For some reason @AlexHorne kept swearing but we managed to bleep them all out using our wind instruments. What a relief.

Finally a sensible opinion on twitter.
The BBC's New Year's Eve musical shindig should just be The Horne Section every year. There isn't a single person in the land who wouldn't enjoy that.

If anyone is looking for an excellent jazzy, groovy band for their wedding or corporate event, we can always help put one together. (Without Alex of course-he’s far too busy) The Section - Mark/Will/Joe/Ben and Ed can be booked - just send us a DM and we can check availability.
