Big Buzzard at Cripps BarnThis is the official online home of Big Buzzard. Sometimes we're a big band, playing music with as high a swing factor as we can muster. We also play music that could be described as jazz, funk, and soul with some spicy latin flavours in the mix too from a mambo to a bit of Cubano Chant. We do our own arrangements of a few tunes you might already know, and we perform our own material, which is superb! Do have a listen here. We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we're serious enough to have played at Buckingham Palace, or to accompany choral evensong on Radio 3. We've joined up with a great choir to perform Duke Ellington's Sacred Concert. Sometimes we're known as the Big Buzzard Boogie Band, sometimes just a concise Big Buzzard. We're available for festivals and events wherever they may be. If you'd like to know more, read our biography or send us an email.

Carbon Neutral Live Music - Big Buzzard Brass

For indoors/outdoors, on a boat, festivals, parties - a totally acoustic lineup, that still packs a funky punch

We're acutely conscious of the fact that everyone should be trying to reduce their consumption of the earth's natural resources as much as possible. As it happens, that coincides with a style of music that we also love to play. Think of a New Orleans Funeral Band, mixed with some of the subtle ensemble harmonies of the Gerry Mulligan Sextet and that gives an idea of what we're into with this incarnation of the Big Buzzard band.
