About This Event

The Hot 8 Brass Band brings its raw New Orleans street sound to the Cheese & Grain in Frome on Thursday 6 August 2026. This eleven-piece ensemble delivers a heavy, percussive brass foundation rooted firmly in the city’s second-line tradition, blending jazz, funk, and hip-hop into a single, propulsive set. Their live performance is built around layered horns and rolling bass drums, with the band’s energy moving through the crowd rather than remaining fixed on stage. Doors open at 7pm, and tickets are priced at £25. The venue’s open floor layout suits the immersive, standing-room nature of the show, allowing the audience to become part of the experience. This is a night of unrelenting rhythm and communal spirit, where the music doesn’t just play—it sweeps you along.
