Search Engage

We are a non-auditioned big band for anyone interested in playing Jazz, Blues, Funk and Soul music.

There are many opportunities to perform with our big band, but you can also join us for socials and attend gigs if performing isn’t for you.

Gigs

Rehearsals for the band are every Monday 6:45pm-9pm in the University Union. We welcome singers, trumpets, trombones, saxes of all varieties, flutes, clarinets, guitarists, bassists, drummers, and pianists!

We organise regular gigs in some of the best venues Leeds has to offer including Belgrave, Brudenell Social Club, Headrow House as well as more relaxed events in the student union.

Socials

We invade Old Bar every week after rehearsal to socialise with our fellow musicians. There are also regular socials at venues such as Eldon and Belgrave as well as other bigger events like an Otley run, society dinners, and a fridge-to-fridge.

Membership

Membership is £12 for the year, which will allow you to attend rehearsals, play in gigs, and come to socials.

How to find us

We regularly update our Instagram on everything going on!
