About / Biography

The Hornbrokers bring the carnival direct to you with infectious beats and a funky brass sound that will make your wedding, event or celebration truly unique!

We are a good time brass band that play an explosive fusion of funk, soul and pop music.We also offer an acoustic set of New Orleans jazz classics.

The beauty of brass is you can put us anywhere as our storming sound does not need amplification to get the party started. Alternatively we provide a full PA for really big events!

We feel we are a cut above most bands due to the exceptional quality of our professional musicians.

All of whom have worked with world class artists and played at some of the most prestigious music venues the UK has to offer. We guarantee high octane entertainment and promise to let the good times roll!

We pride ourselves on a wide ranging and extensive catalogue of music. Ranging from Motown to Daft Punk to Beatles to Whitney Houston. We play all the modern pop classics taking in hip hop brass funk on the way! We will work with you to ensure you get the perfect mix of grooves to get the party cooking!

Chris, the band leader , is approachable and easy going, with over 20 years of experience in the entertainment industry. He provides excellent customer service and will work with you throughout the planning process to ensure that every detail is covered, be it timing, set list or even dress code!

Please contact Chris anytime for an informal discussion where he will run through all the various options for your special event.

Front man Chris Fry is also an established actor who has appeared on Film/TV and in London’s West End. His energy and ability to get the party started is infectious and is the icing on the cake!

NEW ORLEANS CARNIVAL

Fully acoustic and unplugged we can start the party anywhere!

The Hornbrokers can also bring a New Orleans second line carnival to your door. We also offer a fully acoustic traditional jazz set for afternoon events.

Why not have a procession from the ceremony? Or lead guests to another location in style!
