About / Biography

Formed in 2014, Phat 32 are the liveliest brass band you'll find in Cardiff, bringing huge horns, dangerous drums and sumptuous sousaphone to the dance floor. Performing brassed-up covers and the finest riot-jazz originals, with a line-up of accomplished musicians who are based in the city. Consisting of 2 saxophones, 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, drums and sousaphone, we work on the principle that music should be danced to, if it's got high energy brass and percussion, you can't beat it!

We are available acoustically for outdoor events/small venues or with full stage sound and light set-up for medium to large indoor venues. High-brow clients have included BBC Wales, BBC Sesh and The Eden Project and having been the resident band of the Cardiff Blues Rugby club, we have regularly performed to crowds of over 7000 people as well as frequently playing bars and clubs across Cardiff, Bristol and South Wales. As part of our package we can also offer a smaller trio line-up (sax, bass, drums) performing a funky, bluesy, jazz background music style set for more intimate occasions or to begin your evening with sophistication and style before the party truly starts!

Lineups:

  • 8-piece band – Riot jazz brass band at it’s finest. Full brass section line up of 2x saxophones, 2x trumpets, 2x trombones, drums and sousaphone.
  • Trio – 3 piece band. A lighter, toned down Phat 32, funky, bluesy and jazzy. Perfect for background music before the main event or to get the evening started in style. Sophisticated, but still with Phat 32’s charisma and musical expertise. Line-up of sax, bass and drums.
