Rooted in jazz. Built for the party.

The UnSwung Heroes brings together some of London’s top freelance musicians to create unforgettable live music experiences for weddings, festivals, corporate events and private celebrations.

Originally formed around a shared love of traditional New Orleans brass and early jazz, The UnSwung Heroes has grown far beyond a traditional function band. Today, our repertoire spans everything from New Orleans brass, swing and jazz-era classics through to disco, funk, soul and modern pop anthems, all delivered with the same energy, musicianship and unmistakable live sound.

Whether performing immersive roaming brass sets through a crowd or full-scale evening party shows, we combine world-class musicianship with huge energy, audience interaction, and a genuine love of live performance.

From festival-style brass band processions to packed evening dancefloors, The UnSwung Heroes offers two distinct live music experiences designed to bring unforgettable atmosphere to every event.
