Cool jazz, hot Yoruba sounds and a classic brass band – it’s an eclectic Sunday at Loading Bay.
The Big Brass Blowout, our weekend-long celebration of the best in brass, heads to the city centre for a Sunday-afternoon session showing off the versatility and variety of brass music – from red-hot West African music to mellow jazz.
- The Toby Brazier Sextet blend classic jazz influences with new fusion sounds – boasting a stellar lineup of talented Leeds and Bradford musicians: James Boyes on Alto Sax, Will Powell on Guitar, Sam Jackson on Bass, John Arnesen on Drums, Joe Boyes on Piano, headed by Toby Brazier on Trumpet.
- Omotola & Friends bring the pulsating Yoruba sound of West Africa to the heart of West Yorkshire – led by brilliant talking drummer Oluwatosin Omotola Ajayi the band will be joined here by special guests including Richard Walshaw on tuba and trumpeter Toby Brazier to create a musical melting pot that could only happen in Bradford.
- Hot Aire! put a 21st-century spin on traditional brass band culture. Expect anything from brass-band classics to showtunes, movie soundtracks and even a Daft Punk medley when they make the trip from Shipley to Loading Bay for The Big Brass Blowout.
Brass on a Sunday Afternoon is part of The Big Brass Blowout, a weekend-long celebration of the best in brass.
