Everybody's Favourite GoT Characters Formed A Band On Set And It's Brilliant

When you've just finished a hard day of protecting the people of Westeros from The Night King and his army of the dead, it goes without saying that you need a bit of downtime. Some people unwind with a nice hot bubble bath, while others prefer a cold beer and a flick through the paper. The Brotherhood Without Banners, on the other hand, prefer to have a jam to help them relax.

The group's musical abilities were evidenced in a recent post to Kristofer Hivju's Instagram account, which is sure to become every Game of Thrones fan's new favourite internet video.

In the video, we see Hivju (Tormund Giantsbane) and Rory McCann (Gregor 'The Hound' Clegane) on vocals, Iain Glen (AKA Jorah Mormont) on the guitar and Richard Dormer (Beric Dondarrion) on the ukulele.

The band of brothers appear to be taking a break from filming and use the area outside a trailer as a makeshift rehearsal space to perform a pretty decent cover of Tom Waits' 1973 folk ballad, 'I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You'.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter about his supergroup, Rory McCann explained: "We ended up having a right laugh. We're all reasonably good musicians. After that scene, we actually formed a band: the Brotherhood Without Banjos."

McCann also reveals that Paul Kaye (Thoros) is in the band too, although he doesn't make an appearance in the footage.

"Richard Dormer is fantastic on the ukulele. Paul Kaye is great on the guitar. We all sing," he said.

However, this isn't the first time that Hivju has given us a teaser of he and his friends' musical abilities.

In a separate clip posted to his Instagram account, we can see the actor and co-star McCann sharing a beautiful duet of The Gatlin Brothers' 'Yellow Bird'.

McCann gazes out of a trailer window singing and strumming his ukulele, whilst Hivju gleefully dances around filming the performance and ad-libbing vocals. The pair's bromance is truly a beautiful thing to behold.

When asked whether the Brotherhood Without Banjos had any plans to tour, McCann said: "We're definitely going to do a couple of wrap parties at the end. It would be rude not to. But maybe we should go on tour. Possibly Game of Thrones the musical."

That's definitely a show we'd want tickets for and we'd know we were in safe hands if any White Walkers decided to show up too. Unlikely, but it's nice to just have that peace of mind, isn't it?
