HCB show is as exciting as it is memorable, leading BBC Radio 2 to call Hackney Colliery Band “one of the best live bands we have in this country”.
From playing a 45 minute set at the Closing Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics and sets at the MOBO, Brit and Mercury Awards to live sessions on BBC Two, Sky Arts, BBC Radio 2, Jazz FM (UK) and worldwide airplay from many more, from collaborations with the likes of Amy Winehouse to selling out venues across the UK and Europe, east London musicians Hackney Colliery Band don’t stop.
With a setlist as diverse as the borough which gave them their name, expect an eclectic and completely unique mix of dancefloor-filling contemporary rock, jazz, soul and electronica. Delicate one minute, powerfully energetic the next and always concluding in a huge party, an HCB show is as exciting as it is memorable, leading BBC Radio 2 to call Hackney Colliery Band “one of the best live bands we have in this country”.
Jazz FM’s Lil Koko says:
'Taking the New Orleans brass band tradition, melding in world influences, this band continue to innovate. Expect an eclectic and completely unique mix of dancefloor-filling contemporary rock, jazz, soul and electronica. Delicate one minute, powerfully energetic the next and always conjuring a huge party.'
