MR WILSON'S SECOND LINERS

New Orleans meets 90s club classics...a rave funeral without the body.

In New Orleans, funerals are celebrated in style, with noisy brass bands processing through the

streets. The main section of the parade is known as First Line, but the real fun starts with the Second

Line, those who follow the band to enjoy the music, marching with the musicians and twirling

parasols or waving handkerchiefs.

Welcome to Second Lining.

A rabble of mischievous northerners, Mr Wilson's Second Liners form a traditional New Orleans

Second Line. However, this is no sombre occasion: Mr Wilson's expend their collective musical talent

paying homage to the diehard days of the Hacienda, 90s club culture and its greatest hero, Mr Tony

Wilson.

These revolutionary genre bashers knock the First Line sideways, opting for upbeat dance tracks

over traditional slow hymns. Proudly stepping out in uniformed style, they channel the spirit of the

24 hour party people and get audiences dancing wherever they play.

The vision is an anarchic, street extravaganza, bursting with colour and sound, rallying impromptu

raves on street corners and rousing audiences young and old into a joyful frenzy.
