Gallowstreet, the Dutch brass band with an attitude. Hailing from the Galgenstraat in Amsterdam they have refined their sound through the course of 5 albums. Over a decade of innovating brass music, Gallowstreet has been up and at it. Armed with 7 horn players and 1 drummer the band employs a wide range of musical genres to tell stories with their compositions, most of them beat driven, all of them with anthemic quality. Gallowstreet has proven to be a big inspiration for the emerging European Brass Band scene. There’s not a week that goes by without a video of one of the songs being covered by young enthusiastic brass bands from around the globe. Their songs have seen re-arrangements for a wide range of ensembles and Gallowstreet has been a consistent source of inspiration for other bands. Presented by Hootananny Brixton. This is an 18+ event
