When I Get To New Orleans
The Last Ditch Brass Band specialise in providing music for parades and street walkabouts.
Inspired by a visit to New Orleans and witnessing Mardi Gras I came home with fresh ideas to put a walking brass band together but not marching like a military band, more fun easy and cool.
I expand the size of the band according to budget. We can parade, perambulate, stroll for about a mile and about 40 mins (or 80 mins with a break)
We have a parade marshal who's job it is to lead the parade and hopefully go the planned route!
If you are looking to make a big spectacal with a very traditional sounding New Orleans styled 2nd line band we are one of the very few bands in Britain able to accomplish this.
Funeral parades a speciality.
The musicians I book are from my pool of trusted, reliable, and accommplished musicians and so the sound is good!
