Born on the streets of East London, autumn 2008, this explosive 8 piece horn & percussion ensemble ooze an energy fed by incredible musicians from the UK, France, Greece, America & Israel. With the noble aim of establishing a flourishing brass band scene in Britain, Brassroots bring an unbelievable real, live instrumental sound back into mainstream music by presenting pop music in a unique format. Having unleashed knock-out shows to sold-out audiences at Scala, Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party & Bestival, the summer ended with Brassroots being the first band ever to play live on Channel 4’s Big Brother. Blazing a trail through the music scene, Brassroots have been played by both Gilles Peterson and Rob da Bank on BBC Radio 1, Sean Rowley, Magic, Choice FM and LA’s legendary radio station KCRW. Brassroots are firmly on track to change the way you experience live music, leaving fans screaming for more whilst they rock the festivals and towns across the nation. It’s a wonder that they found time to record their self-titled EP and rehearse for the Big Brother show.
