Karl's Bavarian Brass: UK's Oompah Heartbeat, Where Tradition Meets Frolic!
Bavarian oompah band

Public liability insurance of £10 million

Hello to all Oompah enthusiasts! We are Karl’s Bavarian Brass, and we pride ourselves as probably the best Oompah Band in the UK! From the vibrant heart of Middle England, we’ve been setting the gold standard for Bavarian Oompah nights since our inception in 1995. Having individual Oompah experience since 1979, our combined experience brings to you not only authentic Bavarian vibes but also a splash of British flair. With our renowned full-audience participation from the get-go, our shows are a delightful fusion of traditional Bavarian music and cherished British standards. Our setlist is crafted to extract nothing but the best from our audience, ensuring an evening filled with schunkeling, singing, slapping, and dancing. And of course, there's always time for some ‘Prosits’! We believe in providing an unparalleled entertainment experience, one brimming with fun and frolics! Our talented quartet consists of Trumpet/Vocals, Bass/Vocals, Keyboard/Vocals, and Drums/Vocals – a lineup that remains consistent across all our gigs. This harmonious blend ensures that our unique style remains intact, be it our Bavarian songs or our pop renditions. Our reach is vast, from the spirited streets of the Isle of Man to the hustle of London, and from the coastal charm of Portsmouth to the Scottish beauty of Aberdeen. From Bier Kellers, pubs, clubs, and weddings to the most unexpected of places like funerals (yes, we brought life to a funeral upon the deceased's wishes!), we’ve played them all. Whether it's setting the mood for Christmas in shopping centres or pumping up the energy at sports clubs, our versatility knows no bounds. A peek into our trophy cabinet reveals some of our proud moments: • Featured on TV's More 4 in "My Floating Home" (Series 4, Episode 2). • A grand performance at the opening ceremony of the Christmas lights in Eastwood & Beeston in 2005. • A memorable live telecast at Sheffield Ski Centre on ITV Yorkshire Television in 2005. • Creating musical waves at the TT Races in the Isle of Man in 2006. • Lighting up the Carlton Club in London's West End in 2007. ... and many more, culminating in our undeterred performance in the flooded marquee in 2023, where both we and our audience embraced the spirit of the event, dancing in our bare feet! FAQs: • Where are we from? Middle England. • Where do we perform? Throughout the UK. • Audience Participation? Overflowing with it! Prepare to sway, slap, clap, sing, and bang those tables. • Preferred Venue Type? Every kind. Large or small. • Our Audience? Everyone from students to pensioners. • Popularity of Oompah/Bavarian nights? Timeless. They never go out of fashion. In case you're still wondering, we're not just any band; we're an experience. An experience that has been cherished and will continue to be cherished by countless across the UK. So, whether you're planning to book for Oktoberfest or any other occasion, remember – Bavarian Oompah nights with Karl's Bavarian Brass are always a blast! Prost! 🍻

on Friday 15th February The Mary Stevens Hospice held its first Bavarian evening at Amblecote British Legion, where a crowd of supporters about 150 strong, were split into two teams and proceeded to raised the roof. It was a great success, with much frivolity and dancing occurring throughout the evening. Karl's Bavarian Brass were fantastic, a huge crowd pleaser; nobody got away with simply sitting down!! A big thank you to every one who supported the event it netted over 1,000 pounds for the hospice. If you have never experienced a Bavarian Oompah night, you have missed a trick, especially with the quality of these lads, they really got everyone involved and singing along. Hats off to them!
