A monumental one day, one off, totally unique stereotype-smashing extravaganza of brass music.  Leave preconceptions at the door and experience the new sound of horns, hosted by the infamous Rich Mix residents Brassroots.  Band geeks, come out of your basements with your head held high.  Cool kids, prepare to be flummoxed. Brass bands are hot, you heard it here first!

Featuring:

BRASSROOTS re-invent an entire genre, creating an illicit love triangle between Michael Jackson, Gnarls Barkely & a whole load of horns.  Born on the streets of east London, their explosive shows ooze an energy so punchy that fans were left screaming for more as they took the UK’s festivals by storm this summer.  “Astonishing… an audible treat from this much maligned discipline.   enlightening, funk-riddled and toe bouncing” – Music-news.com

Soul Rebels Brass Band blend hearty helpings of mardi gras, funk, soft rock & reggae, cook them at a high temperature, cut into seven pieces, add hip hop icing and a hundred years of New Orleans jazz tradition.  Seriously uplifting!

Plus: Hackney Colliery Band // Sam and the Womp // Twelve Tone Brass Band // The Sunshine Kings // Bollywood Brass Band and many more!
