Drum ‘n’ Brass are a young and animated brass fusion band performing hi-octane brass arrangements of songs by Daft Punk, Queen, Beyonce and more.

The band pride themselves on their wide and varied repertoire of upbeat, well-known floorfillers which will appeal to everyone.

With members playing for internationally acclaimed artists such as Mike Walker, Pete Long and Guy Barker, the band have no shortage of talent. They recently had the ultimate function band accolade of a royal engagement, performing at a private event for the Prince of Bavaria.

Truly outstanding - Drum 'n' Brass are a force to be reckoned with! James, Venue Launch, Corporate, Manchester

Over the past few years Drum 'n' Brass have become one of the most popular acts on our Manchester wedding band roster and a fresh alternative to the mainstream function band format.

They've played at well-known venues throughout the North West such as Allerton Castle, The Great Tythe Barn and the Great John Street Hotel in Manchester, and have also made appearances at prestigious events including Snowboxx Festival, Parklife and Creamfields.

The majority of the band's weddings take place in Cheshire, Lancashire, Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire, but they're happy to travel longer distances.

The band don’t require access to a power supply, meaning they’re extremely mobile and performances are frequently tailored to incorporate movement through the audience! The band can also expand in size right up to 10-piece, for the best sound possible, and they can also provide an afternoon jazz trio set if required.

We recommend the 6-piece band for evening events/dancing as it includes the band's incredible frontman/vocalist.

“Thank you so much to Drum 'n' Brass for making our wedding evening so memorable. You guys were truly amazing and EVERYONE kept on going on about how great you were, we've never seen that many people dancing at a wedding. People are still going on about it a week later. Getting the Groom and his family on the dance floor is a very hard task but you couldn't get them off! Absolutely incredible and thanks for the extra Stevie set at the end :)”
