Tales of Triking the entire length of the Mississippi River – with a Tuba in a Trailer ! Indoor concerts in all kinds of buildings, for all kinds of people…..

The House Concert “deal” is quite straightforward. A host generously provides their house, or a small public venue nearby, invites their friends, optionally offers up some food and drinks (or invites guests to bring their own) and encourages the audience, in return for InnerTuba’s performance, to donate Money toward InnerTuba’s continued development…. Around 10 + people gathered together works well.

Currently, readers of this, and house concert audiences are invited to support the proposed InnerTuba Tour – Midwest to Northwest USA ….

“A few thoughts following our very entertaining evening with our friend Jon Hodkin and InnerTuba. Many thanks Jon for your inspirational talk, breathtaking Bass pieces and your Love of the 4Ts – your tuba, tricycle, trailer and travels. We wish you all the very best from everyone at Thornton Cleveleys Band with your forthcoming tour following the Great Mississippi River and our sincere thanks for your support over the past month with us. Cheers “ Andrew Swann. Chairperson. Thornton Cleveleys Brass Band, NW England. April ’22

“A brilliant afternoon was had I can highly recommend taking the opportunity for InnerTuba to pay your home, bandroom or classroom a visit. If you’re in to music or cycling or travel or adventure or giving back then you will thoroughly enjoy this concert. As a musician, the music was truly wonderful to sit back & listen to. The balance between telling a story & playing it was perfect Thank you for a fabulous time”.

We were privileged to hold in Alness the first of a new series of house concerts featuring Inner Tuba. There were around 20 of us, including neighbours and friends, linked by themes of music, travel, cycling,tricycling, making sense of the past and exploring the unknown. The music, live and recorded, blended beautifully, and with some electronic  wizardry the whole audio-visual experience was incredible in our own living room. This was appreciated by the company who enjoyed a glass of wine and a light supper including quiche, veg curry, cake and coffee. We wish the project every success, and look forward to being involved in the future. We hope other hosts will get as much enjoyment as we have. Stewart, Sandra and Alex. Alness, Highlands, Scotland.
