They just need to be seen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Uitenhage Brass Band formed part of the Cape Town based band West London All Stars and were placed second overall. Apart from participating in the Kaapse Klopse, the musicians from Uitenhage also performed at Voorsmaakie Road March and on New Year\u2019s Eve they joined the Cape Malay Choir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a bid to get more musicians from Uitenhage involved in the Kaapse Klopse, Jenniker together with the Cape Town Music Assembly band members will be travelling to Uitenhage in June, to conduct a workshop for those who are interested in participating in the 2021 carnival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instruments being played in the Kaapse Klopse carnival include tambourine, hood drum, guitar, mandolin, banjo, cello, violin and the ghoema. Manager of Uitenhage Brass Band, Colin Suys, said the atmosphere at the Kaapse Klopse event was amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was great to see young and older people enjoying our performance and the sound that we provided.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the band consists of 30 members between the ages 11 to 50 and does not have an official studio to practise, but instead they practise in a back yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLocal musicians who are interested to join our band are most welcome. There is a lot of talent in Uitenhage,\u201d said Suys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> For more information contact Colin Suys on 062 150
