Founded in 2015, the King Brasstards emerged as one of the UK’s pioneering funky brass bands, their outstanding ability to entertain is unparalleled.
King Brasstards aren’t just about the big stage moments; “We can steal the show with a simple, spontaneous performance at a reception,” explains Frontman Gareth John. He adds, “Our dynamic range, from a tight three-piece to a magnificent seven-piece band, ensures both we and our clients enjoy ultimate flexibility.”
With two distinctive vocalists leading their ensemble, the band guarantees exhilarating performances that are not only delightful but also tailored to the desires of their clientele.
Their musical canvas, while vast, always maintains a funky New Orleans-inspired undertone. With three stellar albums under their belt, their relentless dedication to versatility and a sharp business ethic is evident.
From electrifying the arena at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham to energizing the stands backing Team GB at the Billie Jean King Cup, their pulsating beats have echoed across numerous prestigious events. They've enlivened The Hundred cricket matches, set the pace at Formula One in Silverstone, cheered on the Leicester Tigers Rugby, got fans on their feet at Premier League football matches, and have been the soul of many basketball finals events.
Television hasn't been immune to their charms either. Their charisma on ITV’s 'Britain’s Got Talent', Channel 4, BBC Red Button, BT Sport, and Sky Sports speaks volumes about their adaptability.
Beyond live sports and broadcasts their tunes have caught the ears of industry giants like SkyBet, Boohoo, Meta Platforms, Amazon and Uber to name to name a few. In 2022, they left an indelible mark at the Travel Industry Awards held at the esteemed Rosewood Hotel in London. Their unique talent for kickstarting the party from any corner of a room, before owning the stage, is their signature entertainment move.
