Brass Band Bychan - Live
About this Event
Led by trombonist and composer Gareth Roberts, the band features Gethin Liddington on trumpet, Alastair Stewart on sousaphone and Mark O’Connor on drums. Their music draws on jazz, funk, brass-band and street-band traditions, combining infectious rhythms, melodic horn lines and plenty of space for improvisation.
At the heart of Brass Band Bychan is Gareth’s original writing: characterful, rhythmically inventive compositions that give the four-piece its distinctive personality. The result is a little brass band with a very big sound — contemporary jazz that is energetic, adventurous and accessible, with plenty of humour and a strong sense of Welsh musical character.
