UnSwung Heroes BRASS are a horn driven New Orleans band, and the sister ensemble of The UnSwung Heroes. The brass band is characterised by its distinctive combination of two dedicated percussionists and a sousaphone, providing the classic New Orleans second line sound. This is supported by trumpets, trombones and saxophone to create a lively texture with infections dance rhythms and lots of noise! UnSwung BRASS have played across London, for clients such as Chestertons, The City Of London, Cheltenham Jazz Festival, International Beer Festival and the international Make Music Day parade along the banks of the river Thames, as well as countless weddings and private functions. If your wedding or event requires something fully acoustic and roaming or with a bit more infectious buzz to really get the party started, then UnSwung BRASS should be your band of choice!

UnSwung BRASS's Reviews

5 out of 5

Exceptional! Coming on as a surprise for all our guests at the end of the ceremony and then playing through the afternoon. The band adapted to last minute changes due to rain with ease and a great attitude! Thank you, everyone was blown away!

The Unswung Heroes have appeared as part of our Parade & Town Fair for the last two years & are hugely popular with our local community. Great to work with and fantastic musicians - really great fun. Highly recommend!

5 out of 5

Unswung Heroes supported us with a large scale corporate event. From anecdotal feedback, they were by far the highlight of the night. Very professional band who have a lot of energy and fun on stage, that really got the crowd going. Highly recommended!
