Since their debut in 2011, this brass juggernaut has blown their way into the public consciousness with their cunning cover versions and catchy original recordings.


Over the past two years the band have earned themselves an army of loyal fans and have played at some very special events. From live collaborations with the late Amy Winehouse, and more recently Eliza Doolittle, to headlining the Manchester Jazz Festival and Durham Brass Festival, and being the only fully live band to play at the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics, they haven’t paused for breath.

This is event is part of the EFG London Jazz Festival.
