Windbags

Windbags is a musical band of idiots in large elaborate inflatable costumes. There is the boss who shouts orders, the assistant who actually does everything, and a third member of the band who is very easily distracted. When they get emotional - which happens a lot - their costumes inflate and they transform into large, awkward and beautiful shapes. Windbags is daft, bright and eye-catching and has multiple offers of engagement. Can you help them find each other before their performance begins? They need all the help they can get.
