Hackney Colliery Band is East London’s unique take on the brass band. Featuring trumpets, trombones, saxes, sousaphone and marching percussion, the band is totally acoustic and yet able to blow the roof off any room.

Mining nuggets of funk, hip-hop and high-octane rock from the musical coalface and throwing in a few chunks of Balkan brass, ska and contemporary jazz for good measure, the Hackney Colliery Band’s set list is as diverse as the London borough that gave them their name.

Whether playing to a global audience of hundreds of millions at the Closing Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics or to a few hundred in a club, you can be certain of one thing: this is high-energy, good-time music that’ll make you want to move your feet.
