Lofthouse set for New Orleans debut

An eclectic mix of musical genres is on the cards for Lofthouse Brass in the next few months...

New York
 

Lofthouse Brass 2000 has just teamed up with North Yorkshire’s only contemporary New Orleans inspired brass band, for a joint concert venture later this year.

Lady Gaga

The band will link up with the New York Brass Band in June and hope to bring a taste of the best of Yorkshire to a new audience – with music by the likes of Marvin Gaye and Cee-Lo Green to Stevie Wonder, Daft Punk and even Lady Gaga, with some funky, gritty northern originals thrown in for good measure.

Great music

A band spokesperson told 4BR: "There are no gimmicks, no backing tracks and, no auto tune — just music that gets people dancing and a band that make the audience feel part of the show!"
