THE BRASS FUNKEYS
The Brass Funkeys are a trailblazer in the new generation of UK Brass Bands. Formed in London in 2011, this 9-piece collective has a unique sound forged from their strong personalities and eclectic individual tastes, whilst still paying homage to their New Orleans Brass Band roots.
You can expect to hear the sounds of New Orleans colliding with influences from 90s House to Thrash Metal or Liquid Drum ‘n’ Bass, all through their identifiable lens of creative high octane groove music. It’s party music bursting at the seams with ideas and infectious energy.
GUY CALHOUN BAND
Original Psychefunkadelic Soul FT. Guy Calhoun on vocals and guitar, Tom Berge on keyboards, Flash Gordon on bass and Alex Dawson on drums.
A protege of Portishead's Adrian Utley, Guy has wowed audiences in many guises; as founder member of Dub from Atlantis, Los Mercenarios, Roots Prescription, The Good The Bad and The Funk, Stone Cold Hustle and 5000AD. Guy's music has been played by DJs from John Peel to Don Letts and Jah Shaka and on many radio stations including BBC World Service, BBC Radio 6 and BBC 1Extra.
Guy once featured as the live guest musician on Radio 4's Loose Ends and has recorded and performed with musicians and producers from a widely diverse musical spectrum including DJ SUV, Broadway Project,
Gorgon Sound, Dr.Meaker, Tomorrow's Warriors, Pee Wee Ellis, Armagideon Sounds, The Easy Access Horns, James Morton, Stanton Warriors and The Men From Atlantis.
