Yonner came to fame recently when his nose trumpet videos on YouTube brought him to the attention of Channel 4, the UK terrestial TV station. He was featured on their Homemade series on T4 in January this year.

These days I don’t watch much terrestial TV (there never seems to be much worth watching…) so I had never heard of him until I came across this. I love the way he has cut the rhythm bits and the harmonies together and the whole idea is wonderfully, hilariously creative.

He also does the UK and US national anthems on his nose trumpet but they are less interesting without the rhythm and harmony sections. From the comments on his site and his YouTube channel, it looks like he has inspired others to try out nose trumpeting. Maybe we will soon see a full swing band a la Glenn Miller with nose trumpets, nose trombones etc!
