Hot 8 Brass Band

The Hot 8 Brass Band brings the vibrant energy of New Orleans to Glasgow for a single-night performance.

Attendees can expect a high-energy show that captures the spirit of second line parades and jazz funerals, with a repertoire that spans original compositions and classic covers.

Their Glasgow date offers a rare chance to experience authentic New Orleans brass band music in an intimate setting, with the band's signature mix of marching rhythms and contemporary styles.
