The Wheelie Bin Orchestra
Three-piece percussion ensemble (TAS)
The Wheelie Bin Orchestra is a dynamic three-piece percussion ensemble that makes their music on wheelie bins. The concept was born out of a skit for the annual Old Nick Company’s “Uni Revue” in 2003 which involved twenty players on stage. The present line-up has evolved the original concept to include an audience participation segment along the lines of ABC-TV’s “Spicks and Specks”.
The ensemble draws their material from the broad spectrum of percussion music including Latin American, African, US Drum Line, Irish/Celtic, and Rock, all infused with good humour that will have you tapping along.
The Wheelie Bin Orchestra members are Jeremy Sibson, Robert Rule and Andrew Colrain. All come from a strong background in percussion and theatre with and all are professional musicians.
The ensemble have played numerous festivals and corporate functions both locally and interstate.
