Babel Brass Band formed in 2021, and have quickly started playing to sell-out crowds around London and the UK thanks to their original arrangements and infectious energy. Trumpets and trombones combine with saxophone, tuba/sousaphone and drums to perform a wide range of styles encompassing traditional New Orleans, contemporary pop and funk covers, DnB/Jungle dancefloor fillers and smooth grooves with beautiful harmonies.
With members pulled from various London music scenes - big band players, orchestra performers and session musicians - united by a love of contemporary New Orleans brass bands, the musicians in Babel Brass Band have been playing professionally for years, performing at prestigious London venues including the O2 Arena, Jazz Cafe in Camden, Eventim Apollo, Spice of Life, TAM's Veneyard, Mercato Metropolitano as well as celebrated UK Festivals such as Glastonbury, All Points East, Secret Garden Party, Meatopia and Boomtown Fair and international tours to sell-out crowds in Ireland, France, Italy, Spain and more. Together, Babel Brass Band are fully professional players who know how to entertain a crowd!
Babel Brass repertoire is adjustable for any occasion - weddings, street parties, headline slots and roaming marching band - while their original arrangements, gorgeous harmonies and stunning solos are already entertaining crowds wherever they play!
You guys were amazing, everyone said you were incredible and wanted to know who you were and where did I find this great band. Best part of the wedding reception!
When sheer uniqueness and an abundance of talent forms one unforgettable collective of musicians, you will find Babel Brass Band!
Babel Brass Band came to the Dublin Castle, Town and owned the room. Their big bold brass explosion of sound captivated the audience and had people up and dancing from the get go, even though they were performing an early evening support slot. In fact, no names, no pack drill, they blew the headliners off stage! The BBB format is a bunch of brilliant players getting their hands (and mouths!) on contemporary pop and urban bangers and deftly turning them into irresistible, sassy soul jazz jams. Take their version of the massive Skrillex tune 'Bangarang' ...in the BBB version the structure of the original dubstep electro template is stretched and shaken until its almost hidden melody and funky groove is revealed. Net result- Dancing, broad grins and happy punters. A great night out.
Babel brass bought the house down with their arrangements of new and old classics, across several genres. Entirely professional, nice to work with and happy to adapt to the venue's needs where possible. Would happily recommend it to anyone.
Babel Brass are an amazing band the atmosphere they created on our Wedding day was incredible
This collective of highly talented young men hit the stage for their first set and knocked the eager crowd for six with a magnificent sassy and funky take on the Eurythmics classic 'Sweet Dreams'. With jazz chops to the fore, and a danceable backbone of a very tasty rhythm section, BBB can turn any tune into a party hearty monster. You'll think it was always meant to be performed this way. Take their wonderful take on the Tiny Tempah classic 'Pass Out'...BBB find all the funky corners and fill them with a joyous, soulful groove that is a non-stop Boogie Down experience. They commanded two fabulous sets tonight but still left the audience wanting more. Highly recommended.
