The Big Brass Blowout, our weekend-long celebration of the best in brass, headed 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 blended 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 brought the pulsating Yoruba sound of West Africa to the heart of West Yorkshire – led by brilliant talking drummer Oluwatosin Omotola Ajayi the band were joined 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. It was everything from brass-band classics to showtunes, movie soundtracks and even a Daft Punk medley when they made the trip from Shipley to Loading Bay for The Big Brass Blowout. 

Brass on a Sunday Afternoon was part of The Big Brass Blowout, a weekend-long celebration of the best in brass.
