New York Brass Band are North Yorkshire’s only contemporary New Orleans inspired brass band, and pack a powerful punch of relentless drums, rumbling tuba and wailing horns… nothing kicks a party into gear like the sound of a smokin’ New Orleans Mardi Gras Jazz Band!

​

“… a must see genre-splitting band”

The Guardian

 

With a line-up of percussion, sax, trumpets, trombones, guitar and sousaphone, the band take its inspiration from contemporary New Orleans musicians, but have a repertoire that ranges from a full on set of party covers to sets of male and female vocals, to thrilling jazz and New Orleans sets. 

 

The band was formed in November 2010 by James Lancaster and there are no gimmicks, no backing tracks, no auto tune; it's music that gets people dancing and a band who make the audience feel part of the show.

 

They annually play at three of the biggest parties on the planet. Glastonbury and Notting Hill Carnival in the UK and London and in February they play at Carnival in Rio de Janeiro. In between those they play at festivals and events around the world, including the Tour de France, Monaco Grand Prix, all 7 summer cricket test matches and more.  Now they can add Sunday at GTSF to their roster! They'll do a set on the main stage and will pop up around the site later in the afternoon.
