King Brass Week by SoundStorm

About Us

King Brass are a fun 5 piece brass-band who deliver workshops and perform a range of family classics on a range of brass instruments, vocals plus drum. The highlight of the band is an enormous sousaphone (like a big tuba) which can be pedalled round on a bike. They will be doing 4 days of FREE brass/percussion workshops and popup performances in the stretch tent in Bournemouth Lower Gardens as part of Festival Coast Live, in partnership with SoundStorm (BCP Council), from Monday 9 to Thursday 12 August.

The band will be performing and leading workshops from 10am to 4pm every day. All equipment is provided, including percussion instruments for young performers.
Participation is FREE!

Numbers are restricted to 20 for the workshops. Participants will need to sign up on the day in advance of each workshop so we can regulate numbers. Workshops are open to all young people of all ages age 6+ (though under 8s will need to be accompanied in the workshops by a parent/carer). Parent/carers will need to stay around in case of issues if they are not participating themselves and their children are 8 years old or older. Young brass players are most welcome to join in too if they bring their instrument. No previous experience is needed and percussion instruments will be provided for all participants, which will be wiped down between sessions. Adults are asked to wear masks and all participants will be asked to sanitise their hands before entry
