Let’s do something awesome together.

Perfoming at at Edinburgh Jazz Festival Carnival, way back in 2015.

Brass Gumbo can perform completely self contained, with no power or PA system required.

Ideal for:

  • welcoming guests to your event

  • surprise band!*

  • when there’s no time for a lengthy set-up/pack down

    *    we love doing this

    OR fully mic-ed up onstage for bigger venues/audiences, and a HUGE sound.

    The 6 piece version and above is completely mobile, with two percussionists for that New Orleans second line feel - ideal for leading guests from one place to another

The band can also be scaled up to any size for a HUGE parade if required - they have experience of leading bands of up to 30 people!

Brass Gumbo perform as a compact 5 piece band,
up to a 10 piece mega-band.
…or even bigger!

  • 5 piece: trumpet, tenor sax, trombone, sousaphone, drum-kit

  • 6 piece: trumpet, tenor sax , trombone, sousaphone, snare drum, bass drum

  • 7 piece: 2 x trumpets, tenor sax, trombone, sousaphone, snare drum, bass drum
