Brass Beats Collective

Audibly and visually thrilling... The perfect festival band!' – Musicians Union. 'The Brass Beats Collective brought a riotous onslaught of high-energy music, including surprising covers, and a heady mix of originals' - Blastarama Festival The Brass Beats Collective is made up of trumpets, trombones, sousaphone and drums. We work with guest MC's and singers. We play a fun mix of originals and popular covers, including tracks by Michael Jackson, MC Hammer, Nero, Bob Marley, Rag n Bone Man, Mosca, Madness, Gorillaz and Daft Punk, Faithless, Michael Jackson. The Brass Beats Collective has a North (Manchester), and South band (Ipswich/ London), but are available to travel far and wide, even internationally on occasion! The band was formed in 2009 following a busking tour of Europe (10 capital cities in 30 days!). Since then we have performed at countless club venues, parties, and festivals around the UK, including Parklife Festival, the Edinburgh Festival, (4 years in a row), playing at the E4 venue with the ‘Tom Tom Crew’, and on Stephen. K. Amos's live stand-up comedy show, (with dancing monkeys!). In 2010 we brought out our first, self-titled album, (Hot Botz Brass Band - former name). In July 2013, (as a 6-piece band with guest MC), we released the single, 'Tremor', which we premiered at the Beat-herder Festival. We released, ‘Free yourself’, (featuring the amazing voice of Kathryn Pemberton), in June 2015. Our new single, Right Through You, was released on New Years Day, 2021, and we hope to release a new album in Spring 2025. Brass Beats Collective were shortlisted for BBC Radio 1’s live lounge competition 2021, and have had tracks broadcast on many radio stations. 'An alternative and thoroughly entertaining band that thrilled our guests and made our event extra special', (customer, August 2024)
