About / Biography

Brass Bad Boys have quickly started playing to sell-out crowds around London and the UK thanks to their original arrangements and infectious energy. Trumpets and trombones combine with saxophone, tuba/sousaphone and drums to perform a wide range of styles encompassing traditional New Orleans, contemporary pop and funk covers, DnB/Jungle dancefloor fillers and smooth grooves with beautiful harmonies.


Brass Bad Boys repertoire is adjustable for any occasion - weddings, street parties, headline slots and roaming marching band - while their original arrangements, gorgeous harmonies and stunning solos are already entertaining crowds wherever they play!

With members pulled from various London music scenes - big band players, orchestra performers and session musicians - united by a love of contemporary New Orleans brass bands, the musicians in Brass Bad Boys have been playing professionally for years, performing at prestigious London venues including the O2 Arena, Jazz Cafe in Camden and Eventim Apollo as well as celebrated UK Festivals such as Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party and Boomtown Fair and international tours to sell-out crowds in Paris, Milan, Madrid and more. Together, Brass Bad Boys are fully professional players who know how to entertain a crowd!
