As one of the UK’s leading original covers acts, the Gypsies of Bohemia Trio pride themselves on having written at least half of their complete catalogue of original cover versions. Something of a paradox? Well, that sums these guys up. This tight-knit trio of musically literate, well-groomed individuals can bring a party like no other, with their inventive and superbly crafted renditions of popular contemporary songs from the modern era.
Fronted by the phenomenal vocalist Martin Connor, and driven by Jim Wallace on guitar and Andrzej Baranek on piano, expect all your all-time guilty-pleasure bangers given the gypsy treatment… A mix of classic gypsy jazz and popular covers twisted into something unmistakably theirs.
Here’s an idea what to expect from the gig. Please note that this will be a trio performance (not the full band shown here):

Back Chat Brass bring a show that rivals all others. The 7-piece brass band, based in Leeds, have mastered a repertoire sure to raise the roof of our little backstreet jazz club. It sure has done on many an occasion before.

Since 2016, they’ve been wreaking havoc in venues around the world, coaxing even the stubbornest of dance-phobics from their seats with their signature take on your go-to hits.
From the all-time disco bangers of the 80’s, to the R’n’B classics of the 90’s, to the unforgettable pop hits from the naughties through to the present day… Absolutely any age group who loves a dance will fall in love with this band’s one-of-a-kind sound, musicianship, and simply electrifying showmanship. A gig with Back Chat Brass is so much more than a gig.
