Blow Your Own Trumpet

It's uncertain whether the well-known 20th-century phrase for self-promotion originated before or after the song "Blow Your Own Trumpet." What is clear is that publishers Chappell were confident this distinctly English-sounding song would resonate with audiences in France. Ralph Butler, the lyricist behind this tune, also penned other enduring comic songs, including the WWII favorite "Run Rabbit Run" and the beloved 1956 children's classic "Nellie The Elephant."

Step back into the swinging 1930s with Blow Your Own Trumpet, a lively music-sheet poster that captures the wit and humour of its era. This playful art print combines bold typography with elegant illustration to celebrate the joy of performance and self-expression.
