Lisburn band Dynamic Brass has struck a chord with Facebook users after a recent video went viral, reaching one million viewers on the social media platform.

The Reel, featuring Jan and Lee performing Two Wacky Woodpeckers blindfolded at the band’s concert in June 2026, has captured the imagination of viewers far beyond Northern Ireland.

And to make it even more special, the challenging piece was written especially for the two women by Dynamic's conductor Andrew McGuigan.

What started as a bit of fun on the concert stage has now been watched by more than one million people, with viewers enjoying the impressive and entertaining challenge of playing the piece without being able to see their instruments.

And with all this attention, Dynamic Brass is hoping to welcome some new faces into the band.

Dynamic Brass is currently recruiting players for percussion, trombone and tuba.
