About / Biography

Stilt Skin Brass have been together for 15 years. The band has played all over the UK in all kinds of settings from Festivals to Clubs, Theatres to Corporate events. We play original arrangements of classic pop tunes from the last 5 decades. The bands consists of 4 horn players and 2 drummers... who perform on STILTS!

The tunes will keep you singing and the rhythms will keep you dancing. Whether it's a carnival, festival, private party or bar, the band will bring energy and joy into your space. Most of our gigs are totally unplugged and acoustic. However, we also often perform using a full p.a. set up and wireless, roaming mics. This is great for the larger indoor venues where everyone wants a piece of the action. Carnivals, Festivals, Parades - we can parade through your streets or venue, with the drummers on stilts.

Lineups:

  • 6 piece: 2 x Drummers (on stilts if required), 2 x Trumpets, Sousaphone, Trombone.
  • 5 piece: 1 x Drummer (on stilts if required), 2 x Trumpets, Sousaphone, Trombone.

We can perform as a roaming band and/or a stage band as seen in our videos. Please specifically request which show you are booking: whether it's one or both styles.
