The Brass Volcanoes |

"Music full of energy, hip
swinging, bluesy and fun..."
The Brass Volcanoes are a jazz band consisting
of brass, saxophones and drums. All of the band are professional
jazz musicians who work together to create fabulous arrangements
of popular and less well known tunes on the spot: ideas, solos
and riffs are thrown around the band so that no two performances
are ever the same. The music is filled with energy and life
which draws the audience and makes you want to be part of it.
The Brass Volcanoes are inspired by a long tradition of Brass
Bands from New Orleans as well as other parts of the world:
expect flavours of the Balkans, Latin America, the Caribbean,
Kletzmer, all with their own London twist. We play a mix of
original songs unique to the band, arrangements of popular
songs, Mardi Gras and jazz standards, funk classics...

Dale Storr |

Dale Storr
is recognised as one of the UK's leading exponents of New
Orleans piano.
Dale's ambition has always been to play the music of New
Orleans, which can be anything from a classically influenced
minuet, a latin rhumba, a back o' town junker blues to a
frenzied boogie woogie. As seen with every Dale Storr
performance, he's certainly fulfiiling that ambition.
"'If there
is a better New Orleans-style pianist in the UK than the
outrageously talented Dale Storr, please point me in his or her
direction because he or she must be very, very special'
- Lionel Ross, Blues in Britain |
Dale Storr
with guests Dom Pipkin, Justin Randall and Paddy Milner - a rare

The
Revolutionaires |

Established within the
‘hotbed’ of the North East music scene in the UK, they power out
jumpin’ hot rhythm & blues in their own indomitable hard hitting
style.
Primarily, they are
influenced by 1940’s and 1950’s R&B. In particular, Louis
Jordan, Big Joe Turner, Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Roy
Brown. However, they have adopted a harder and more aggressive
approach, synonymous with modern blues artists such as Stevie
Ray Vaughan, Duke Robillard, Jools Holland and Mike Henderson
which helps create their own high energy sound.
