With Mardi Gras Day falling on Tuesday 4th March 2025 this year, we felt it only right to mark this amazing time of year with something special; bringing the spirit of New Orleans to our little jazz club here in Manchester. So, for Mardi Gras Weekend, we lined up one of the finest brass bands we know, Hijack Horns. These guys are sure to make you feel like you’ve flown over the pond to experience some of the most gutsy, awe-inspiring brass playing out there… Whilst dancing the night away to some of the best pop songs ever…
Hijack Horns grabs a fist full of feel-good tunes, a handful of high-energy brass, throws it all in a blender and serves you the spiciest, brassyest smoothie your aural tastebuds can handle. Made up of players from long established street bands who are no strangers to the impromptu alfresco rave, this new band squashes the punch of a much bigger outfit into a slinky 5-piece.
Powered by their perennial appetite to bring the party to the people, the Hijack Horns philosophy is simple - life's too short to watch other people dance.
Hijack Horns uphold a strict "All Killer, No Filler" policy, with classics from Stevie Wonder, George Benson and Curtis Mayfield through to The Human League, Fatboy Slim and Outkast. Rest assured the guaranteed delivery of a floor-bouncing set that'll leave your ears ringing.
Line Up:
