Video: Classical musicians’ impromptu M5 jam

By Bristol24/7  Monday Sep 14, 2015

A string quartet including a member of the Bristol Ensemble broke into an impromptu classical performance to entertain drivers stuck in an M5 traffic jam.

A horse escaped onto the motorway between Tiverton and Wellington on Saturday, causing the motorway to be closed.

 

A horse escaped on the M5 today on our way back from Devon, causing a complete stand-still and a string quartet to play 🙂
