Welcome
to all our friends & web site visitors- FEEL FREE TO LOOK AROUND!
HOORAY.... WE'VE BEEN TO LUCERNE AGAIN !!
PHEW!! WHAT A WEEK !!!
This year we were invited to make our third visit to Fasnacht in Lucerne. We were hosted by our friends Blattlüüs Lozärn
and had a really exciting trip to Switzerland, playing as guests at the world famous event.
We
are GUGGE
2000 (but we started in 1998!) &
we are the first Guggenmusik band in the UK. If
you are wondering how to pronounce our name, it's googie as in boogie! If you
know us better as 'the black & yellow band' or 'the bumblebee band', 'the
wasp band' etc, that's cool too!

HOW TIMES CHANGE!!
Last year was our tenth year as Britain’s First Guggenmusik Band!!
How times change – 9 people attended our first rehearsal and now registered members top 45!!
When we started most of our percussion was borrowed, begged and stolen (OK, not stolen, but you get the idea). Now the band owns kit worth well over £5000.
We’re no longer the only Guggenmusik band here with our friends Frumptarn having joined our quest to bring Guggenmusik to the UK in 2004.
Trips abroad have become regular features of our calendar with visits to Switzerland (3 times), Germany (4 times), Austria, France & Spain twice. Crumbs, we’ve visited Wales as well (does that count as abroad?)
2008 has been a special celebration year with BIG F 08 in July and a visit to our friends Chaos Guggen in Plochingen in November plus new gigs in Worcester, Tetbury and Hyde Park. See the gig guide for full details.
GUGGE 2000 RETURNS FROM STUTTGART!
Wow! What a great time we had in November visiting our friends Chaos Guggen in Reichenbach near to Stuttgart.
We were made to feel so welcome at their 5th anniversary festival, they even placed us as the last band playing on the Saturday night with 6 other bands from Austria, Switzerland and locally from Germany.
We were so honoured by them as we played our selection of tunes played in our UK Guggenmusik style, we even heard the assembled guggen fans singing over our music ! We dont often hear that - what an experience!
GUGGE 2000 NEEDS YOU
Would you make a great ambassador/collector for Gugge 2000.
We are looking for some more volunteers to help us explain to our audiences what Guggenmusik is all about and to offer CD's and shake the bucket where necessary.
You won't have to make all our gigs, just the ones you can and we promise oyu a great costume and lots of fun!!!
