Welcome to the Blog and News of Alternative Rock Band OPOSIUM

Earlier today Oposium were given a guest slot on The Bay's presenter Andy Freeman's Show 'Saturday Lunch'. The band enjoyed a short interview talking about the upcoming concerts in HMV and PURC, and even started spreading rumours that Richard (aka Mr Hair) is only woken in the mornings when his maid calls ...

Oposium would like to thank Andy for having the band in. The Bay 102.8 FM will be giving away 5 signed copies of 'Life Under The Sun' as well as a giant photo of the Piano In The Sea that has been personalised by the band. Listen out for the competition over the next couple of weeks.



In other news, Sam (aka Mr Brain) will be performing Gershwin's 'Rhapsody In Blue' in Wimborne Minster this evening. Tickets have almost sold out but word is there are still a few spaces left. Last year's performance of Rachmaninov's 2nd Concerto was stunning so Wimborne is looking forward to being entertained once again!

Peace always,

Oposium's piano maestro Sam Hanson (or fondly known as Mr Brain) will be performing Rachmaninov's 2nd Piano Concerto at Wimborne Minster this Saturday (18th October 2008). Starts 7.30pm, tickets are £10 reserved, £7 unreserved or £6 unreserved in advance. Tickets are available from Square Records, Wimborne.

Sam will also be accompanying Elgar's "Sea Pictures" on the organ. For more information, please go to www.dorsetforyou.com

Mr Hair and Doctor One will be there spurring Mr Brain on (not that he needs it of course!), but it will be a fantastic night of virtuosity and musicality!
