The Hackney Colliery Band going at it full throttle in the jam-packed Trinity Pub in Borough. This from the Band's website..."Hackney Colliery Band is a nine-piece brass band usually found playing hip-hop and 'brass funk', or venturing into the sound worlds of Ska and Balkan Beats... Collectively run, the project has several composers and arrangers, and the HCB sound is a collaboration between all the musicians involved. We play tunes by MF Doom, Blackstreet, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ozomatli, Minnie Riperton, Justin Timberlake, Toto, Notorious BIG and Twista, as well as originals by our band members."
A special mention for sousaphone player Jeff (second right) for services to bouncing whilst playing a sousaphone. Apparently he travels with it on the tube during rush hour. Whether he has to travel then, or whether it's just to annoy people, I don't know.
