Bringing together some of the UK’s finest brass musicians – including current and past national and european champions! – Chav Brass combines the power and technique of elite-level brass playing with the energy of a modern festival show.
Other small brass outfits all say they bring high energy.
WE ARE THE ENERGY
Showreel
WHO?
Expect huge brass arrangements, infectious beats, outrageous energy and a dose of British attitude.

With members based across the UK and Europe, Chav Brass has built a growing international following and a reputation for bringing something genuinely different to the festival stage.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY…
Chav by name, but not by nature - Professional, efficient, and a team of highly talented musicians. We have hired them year after year in the knowledge that we are guaranteed a top quality performance that on its own is a crowd magnet!
We can’t recommend them enough!!
LAURA HIRST,
CO-OWNER ALBION FARM/TURKEYS ON TOUR FESTIVAL
Chav Brass will bring any crowd to life; the 30 piece band command the stage and leave the audience (and crew) no choice but to dance along!
Banging tunes played by masters of their instruments, definitely book them for your stage sometime soon! A pleasure to work with every time!

THE BEAT-HERDER FESTIVAL MAIN STAGE MANAGER
