Never out of breath on the pitch, Toon star Nolberto Solano blew up a storm with his trumpeting skills. He was playing with his salsa band The Geordie Latinos at the Krash bar in Newcastle as they recorded footage for their first DVD.| "We are going to make a recording and see how it goes," said Nobby before the gig. "We hope to record the full set and it should be between an hour to an hour and a half long." The Geordie Latinos were set up by Nobby and pals Jose Escabar and Ian Trewhella. Nobby has also played with Apu, a band made up of three Peruvian brothers based on Tyneside for 20 years. He added: "It's not a big crowd in Newcastle for salsa but it's OK. There are a few Latino people here in Newcastle who follow salsa. "I play salsa because I like it, it's something different from the football. When I was a boy in Peru it was in my head and part of my life."
