Brass Funkeys
We are delighted to have the Brass Funkeys headline Pitchcott Festival with their awe-inspiring live show. They have been tearing up clubs and festival stages across the UK and Europe, having refined an eclectic and powerful sound that brims with creativity, groove, and infectious energy. They have graced the main stages of Glastonbury, Boomtown, Wilderness, Love Supreme, Lost Village, and the North Sea Jazz Festival.
The band are consistently exploring new musical directions and influences, and in April this year released their latest album ‘BLOW HORN!’. From Drum n Bass through Afrobeat to Mauritian Sega; the album showcases modern brass music at its best. The Brass Funkeys are a band not to be missed.
Dig It Soundsystem

And look out for their annual shindig at the Hampstead Heath bandstand, always a raucous affair.
We can’t wait to welcome them to Pitchcott, where DJ Dan Carrier will be joined by Vanessa Freeman, acclaimed British soul, jazz and house music vocalist, and the Monoversal Dub Club, a brilliant new reggae band that has taken Camden by storm.
