LONDON'S Hackney Colliery Band will bring their passionate and energetic live show to Stroud on April 22 with a date at the Subscription Rooms as part of a UK tour.
The nine-piece have reinvented the brass band sound for the 21st century and are a tour de force of trumpets, trombones, saxes, sousaphone, marching percussion and electronics.
The band are as inspired by contemporary rock and electronica as they are New Orleans marching bands and the traditional British brass bands to which their name pays homage.
Their latest LP Sharpener features new electronic elements added to the jazz, rock and soul for which they are known.
Their passionate live shows have amassed them a large fan base and have seen them sell out two-night runs at Wilton’s Music Hall and the Jazz Café in London.
They have played the main stages of festivals including Field Day, Love Supreme, Wilderness, Cheltenham Jazz Festival and many more, and performed a 45-minute set in the Olympic stadium as part of the Closing Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics.
