We are delighted to be kicking of 2025’s Manchester Jazz Festival with this utterly amazing brass band live on stage. Let’s start things properly, and make this a night to remember. Join us from 8:45pm, outside M&P’s on Tib Street, when Back Chat Brass will be taking to the streets of the Northern Quarter for a New Orleans-style parade. Then, the band will be on stage at M&P’s from 9:30pm-12:30am. It’s going to be a big one!

Rooted in pop, funk and hip hop, the band’s brassy beats are an instant favourite of any audience lucky enough to catch these guys live. 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.

*VIP Stage-Side Tables: Here you have the best experience of the band, plus full table service. Standing audience members are kept in the bar area for Set 1; the dance floor opens for Set 2 - and you get first dibs to show off your moves!
