Artist: Brassed Off

This striking quartet of “groovy gals” serves up a tasty menu of soul, pop and funk seasoned with salsa. In their hands, well-known music comes wrapped in a new guise, by turns swinging and stirring, always convincing. The unusual combination of alto sax, trombone, tuba and drums creates a distinctive open sound which transforms “golden oldies” into something startlingly novel and fresh.

A whirlwind of hits by the likes of Stevie Wonder, Abba, Madness and The Police speeds by in the course of a programme bursting with invention. Thought you knew your standards? They dazzle in a whole new way when Brassed Off gets out the polish.

Equally at home on stage or mingling in a parade, this mobile “unplugged” quartet can adapt to the mood of the moment. Let the good times stroll! show native description
