Horndog Brass Band

Horndog Brass Band first growled into life at the debut Kelburn Garden Party festival near Largs the summer of 2009, drawn from members of Scotland’s left-field talent gathered there including representatives of Bombskare, Orkestra del Sol, Black Cat, The Banana Sessions and Hidden Orchestra. After stealing the main stage’s audience and taking them for an impromptu walkabout gig in the woods surrounding Kelburn Castle, it was clear that the Horndogs’ sound is one which connects instantly with fans of many genres, from funk and jazz through to hip hop and contemporary music.

Labrassbanda

The five musicians in LaBrassBanda are from Southern Germany but the band clearly has a taste for much else than sauerkraut, sausage and heavy Weissbeer. Their music is a wild tapestry of musical impressions from all corners of the world. LaBrassBanda play all out on trumpet, tuba and trombone so that even the Tyrolese hats on the back row fly off. It is difficult to find a more effective mix of wedding music, Mexican mariachi, ska and Tyrolese polka either north or south of the Alps.
