Hackney Colliery Band

Since 2009, east London musical pioneers Hackney Colliery Band have pushed the boundaries of brass band conventions, building a steadfast fanbase with their joyous live shows and slew of heralded releases.

Now fifteen years deep into their collective journey, and with some incredible career highlights to note (such as performing to 80,000 people at the opening of the 2012 Olympic Games in London), the 9 piece outfit prepare to announce their 6th full-length offering, the hotly anticipated ‘Collaborations : Volume Two’

As anyone who has attempted any degree of social organisation will attest, it is no mean feat to gather nine people in one place, at the same time, on a semi-regular basis, never mind taking this group of people all over the world to play instrumental music. Add into the mix an industry where artists are encouraged to find a genre niche and stick to it - advice HCB have joyously ignored for their fifteen year career - and the community and kinship that HCB have built up over this time seems even more remarkable

A testament to their tenure and calibre as musicians, ‘Collaborations : Volume Two’ is an exuberant and original addition to HCB’s already impressive and varied catalogue, highlighting their restlessly collaborative and creative instincts.
