Event Details
Heart of Brass is BACK! This month HOB is bringing you Bring your Own Brass (BYOB) to Queen of Hoxton for a night of brass based misbehaviour!!
For us Anglo-Saxon folk, it's pretty much always
cold, wet, dark and everyone looks miserable.... And yet on the opposite side
of the globe in New Orleans, the Caribbean and South America, its 100% party
time - semi-naked people, wasted on Caipirinhas and frozen Daiquiris, dancing
in the street to feel-good Funk, Soul, Latin and Jazz beats for days on end,
and we thought why should they have all the fun…
So, here's the deal - we can't promise to bring
the sunshine.... but we've sorted everything else!
Every other month Queen of Hoxton will enter the
new season with a 3-floor house party extravaganza hinting at warmer climes
from around the world. And Heart of Brass will bring you the best in live Brass
Music and Carnival sounds to our basement, with Bring Your Own Brass (live
brass band) on headliner duties for this month!
They’ll be playing their Brass Heavy take on
feel-good classics, original songs and mashups alongside our carefully selected
roster of residents including J-Felix (Tru
Thoughts) and DJ Mo Fingaz (Main
Squeeze) playing sweaty sounds from across the globe
including House, Disco, Funk, Latin, Afro and Dub cuts from carnivals around
the globe.
On the Ground floor, the house party ensues,
with the omnipresent Dj
Odin (Rizzle Kicks Tour DJ) holding fort behind the both, playing the best in
Hiphop, R&B, Garage, Reggae, Grime and beyond…
This will all be topped off with over the top
festival décor and production as well as face painters, giveaways, inflatables
and much much more….

BYOB:BYOB (Bring Your Own Brass) are an 11-piece
brass band who have been tearing up festival stages with their original mix of
hip hop beats, heavy riffs and dancefloor
grooves.
Forged in the fires of Passing Clouds, BYOB
regularly packed out the legendary venue well into the early hours. Since then
BYOB have been whipping up a storm at festivals and venues across the UK and
Ireland. In 2017 they headlined the opening night on the main stage at
Glastonbury’s Shangri-la; they have packed out stages at Boomtown, Shambala,
Lovebox, Citadel, Hootananny and the Scala. With their first EP about to drop,
this is a live band you can’t afford to miss.
