About Us
Know Us Better
We are The Bare Brass Band, featuring trumpets, trombones, saxophones, percussion, and a big-ass sousaphone. We also sing and rap a bit too.
We play tunes that’ll get your party rocking. All the way from traditional New Orleans style jazz, through to soul, pop, rock, Latin, ska, R&B, and even some dance and house classics. Our tunes include Do Your Thing (Basement Jaxx), I Wanna Be Like You (Louis Prima from the Jungle Book), Right Here Right Now (Fatboy Slim), Baggy Trousers (Madness), and Dance Monkey (Tones and I).
We’re available for hire and we can play pretty much anywhere. We play at weddings, parties, corporate functions, festivals, and we can busk!

Useful Info
If you're thinking of booking Bare Brass Band for your event, here's some information we think might be useful.
- We are fully covered for third party liability insurance.
- Normally, we require a space of about 5m wide x 4m deep to fit in, with some space between us and the audience (to prevent being knocked by people dancing).
- If your venue does not have a PA system, we can provide our own for which we will need at least one 13amp 3 pin (standard) electrical socket and a little extra space for our set up. All our equipment is PAT tested and safe to use.
- For parking, we’ll need around three spaces nearby.
- We’re a band of up to 15 players, and we come with lots of instruments and cases. So we need a place to store all the stuff we don’t need on stage.
- We normally write our own set lists, based on our current repertoire and years of experience in knowing how to bring the party! We can, sometimes, take song requests, and we are happy to oblige if we have the music. In addition, if you have a special song, we can arrange it (for a fee), but we do need some notice (we arrange our own music and will need to rehearse).
- On submission of our booking form, we ask for a 10% deposit of the agreed fee to confirm your booking.
