There is something utterly fantastic about watching an eccentric bloke in his 50's, bouncing up and down, playing the ghost busters theme tune, on horns, to a bunch of toffs...
I hope everyone appreciates just how hard it is to play a symphony on bicycle horns. The co-ordination and agility required of a 50 year old man . But then Bill Bailey, is no ordinary man.
I agree. Like anyone can come up with jokes and be funny, but very few people can use their musical/artistic talents and make it funny. Buy Qualmpeddeler on DVD if you haven't got it already, it's fabulous.
A bloke… with no hair on top of his head… with only a Roland keyboard before the horns came out… for 5 near minutes made an entire awards show laugh and clap. Bill Bailey is so bloody brilliant.
I know they're of two different eras, but I wish I could see a duet performance between Bill Bailey and Spike Jones. I'm just imagining the strange things they'd play on the most bizzare instruments.
Ok so I know I should know this, but what's the first melody he plays on the horns? I recognize it, and whatever it is is on the tip of my tongue, but my brain is having a bit of a fart storm and can't seem to get there
Yeah. Had to show someone the genius of Bill Bailey and why I think he is not just a fan favourite but a proper contender. Such a shane he has to miss Blackpool. That sprung floor would've give Oti some interesting ideas.
probably, though it helps that he's got the horns laid out like a piano with the top horns being the black notes and the bottom ones being the white notes
The guy above him was not a lighting guy. The lighting was pre~programmed computer controlled. The guy above was conducting his back ground backing orchestra .
Is there any musical instrument that BILL can't play I REALLY CAN'T!!! answer that. But, I reckon I very much doubt that there are very few musical instruments ( IF ANY AT ALL!!!! ) that BILL can't play NOT! including those BRILLIANT BULB HORNS!!! of which I REALLY ❤💕❤💕him. playing ( performing songs modern or old It really doesn't matter he seems, to be able to turn his GENIUS to any musical instrument. anywhere & at anytime. 👍👍👍👍🎹🎹🎹🎸🎸🎸🎼🎼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😉😁😄😃😀😆
I'm privileged to have a ridiculously talented cool uncle who I can envision sharing that stage. Still wish bill was my uncle but. How cool a hogmany party would that be?

Bill is just amazing!
I can only hope that I have as much energy as he does at that age.
I say old bean thanks awfully for calling one a toff!
I was there!
he hadnt hit 50 at the time of this recording
let's be honest, does it really matter?
You have not lived until you hear the 1812 overture on bicycle horns.
where are those pills !!
Let me just say this. If Bill Bailey existed in medieval times, he would be the greatest wizard known to man.
Are you saying he is not a wizard now?
I hope everyone appreciates just how hard it is to play a symphony on bicycle horns.

It's fantasticly complicated.
But yeah, this is bill were on about.
This man is actually a genius

Indi Heaton I saw it live, it was fantastic
A bloke… with no hair on top of his head… with only a Roland keyboard before the horns came out… for 5 near minutes made an entire awards show laugh and clap. Bill Bailey is so bloody brilliant.
The laughter and applause is so upper class.
Quiet enough not to be rowdy, but loud enough to show proper appreciation.
I say old bean, bloody good show!
One is not a fan of _whooping,_ young man… 😳
I would love to be a fly on the wall in this guys house! I can only imagine all the weird and wacky stuff he gets up to! Musical genius!
The fucking weirdest thing i have read all day man... why not say a guest or neighbour xD
@sheepywolfanimations because its a common saying
Bill is not only a fantastic musician but also a fantastic showman
Such a very talented man who turn his musical talent to play just about anything (including bulb horns)👏👏👏👏😁👍
Bill is always good value; I loved his interaction with Dylan Moran in "Black Books"
The Little Book of Calm...
Good value, just like a compilation album.
This guy is amazing - musical comedy I could watch him for hours.
I saw him on tour and he did the same act, blinking amazing. Such a talented man!!
The talent of the man knows no bounds. Excellent
Superb musical comedy by the master himself.
,
Not just hilarious, so so talented!!
Bill Bailey is a true genius! I'm so glad that Britain has realised this
Brilliant :) Korean army marching to Match of the Day - LOL! Ghostbusters on bicycle horns - class :D
I love the appreciation this audience of upper class people show to Bill Bailey who which is a pure heavy metal enthusiast lol.
Not just a very talented musician /comedian but also a great dancer winning Strictly Come Dancing 2020 with the great Oti Mabuse 🤩🤩
This man loves his job. God bless him.
I know they're of two different eras, but I wish I could see a duet performance between Bill Bailey and Spike Jones. I'm just imagining the strange things they'd play on the most bizzare instruments.
Great to see Bill using Dave Arch and Orchestra to full effect. Live Music, it's the best - simple as.
I love this man's humour he makes us laugh without being crude,no I'm not a snob I work in construction.
The rendition of Ghostbusters I never knew I needed.
He's just brilliant
4:57 that jump :)
Love Bill Bailey, made me laugh when he was frantically pressing them horns at the end hahaha
wow... he is an amazing performer
Talent and education. Fantastic.
Very talented Man.... Wow! impressive!
he amused me his ideas is brilliant and genius.
It would be great if he added some cannon into the 1812 overture finale
Then he would have been fired!
every time a horn honks a clown get's his big floppy shoes
The music equivalent of the mad professor. Brilliant.
Bill you are mega talented long may you entertain us
I lost it at "The Final Countdown". LOL!
@Noah Hildreth I believe it is Sonata in C Major K545 :)
Absolute genius!
The final countdown on bicycle horns outdoes arrested development by miles
The amount of time he had to have spent learning to play the horns must have driven his wife nuts.
i love him doing 'enter sandman' by metallica on the horns. unless i just dreamed it.........
what a guyl, you are musical gold
Ok so I know I should know this, but what's the first melody he plays on the horns? I recognize it, and whatever it is is on the tip of my tongue, but my brain is having a bit of a fart storm and can't seem to get there
Who's back here after watching Bill absolutely smash it on Strictly?
Yeah. Had to show someone the genius of Bill Bailey and why I think he is not just a fan favourite but a proper contender. Such a shane he has to miss Blackpool. That sprung floor would've give Oti some interesting ideas.
thanks Got a good laugh
Buy the DVD of his tour "Qualmpeddlar". He does the full version of this.
He's a genius
Legend.
would recommend his "Part Troll" stand up :)
The struggle those people seemed to have clapping in time during the folk song followed by decent enough coordination concerns me
The lounge version of motd sounded like Chester Thomson playing
Billy Bass
I love the lounge version
Look for Bill Bailey playing metallica's enter sandman on the horns. It's brilliant. Clip is here.on you tube
I need on of those horn piano's
He's so fucking brilliant. Love him to pieces.
He'll be on strictly come dancing one day.
The dude is just *really great.*
Such a brilliant off the wall comedian too.
you can tell hes playing the royal their laughs are synchronised lol
This is gold
that last bit must have taken some practice!
probably, though it helps that he's got the horns laid out like a piano with the top horns being the black notes and the bottom ones being the white notes
The lighting guy above him was having a blast
The guy above him was not a lighting guy. The lighting was pre~programmed computer controlled.
The guy above was conducting his back ground backing orchestra .
I was looking for Gary Numan "cars" and this came up. Im not mad at all lol

At his very best!
Mint!!!
I'm thinking of making a robot version of the tuned taxi horns.
I'm privileged to have a ridiculously talented cool uncle who I can envision sharing that stage.
Still wish bill was my uncle but.
How cool a hogmany party would that be?

It's probably incredibly obvious, but I can't work out what the first tune he plays on the horns is. Anyone feel like telling me?

Never seen so many penguins at a comedy show 🐧
Shame it's to a bunch of toffs who wouldnt probably see this sort of greatness that is Bill Bailey
So clever , nice one Bill.
Bill Bailey's head!
Guys a music man...

Alexander Bayley piano sonata 16
I love Bill, but he repeats so much of his material over the years

Spike Jones would be proud.

What is the first song he plays on the bike horn piano?
+Angus Muir The Lonely Goatherd from The Sound of music
What's the third song he plays on the horns? I know it, but I can't put my finger on what it is.
+Timothy Brown Final countdown, the band of that tune is called "Europe"

He looks like silent bob
...and then he won Strictly Come Dancing.
After Trump,possibly the funniest man on the planet...
Brilliant….
