Default The Worst Orchestra in the World Packs the Royal Albert Hall
A feature published in AtlasObscura today made my day!



Assembled by Gavin Bryars in 1970, and among its participants Brian Eno, The Portsmouth Sinfonia was an endearing trainwreck assemblage of musical ineptitude.

Bryars' "scratch" orchestra had little to no experience playing instruments, but that didn't stop them from releasing an incredible album. They developed such a cult following that the ensemble went on to perform a sold-out show at the Royal Albert Hall!

Check out the clips below for the hilarious results!
