Our Story
FORMED BY FRIENDS WITH A SHARED LOVE OF LIVE MUSIC.
Formed in 2017 by a group of friends at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, The UnSwung Heroes began life performing early jazz and New Orleans-inspired music in student bars, parties and small events around London. What started as a group of musicians playing simply for the love of live music quickly grew into something much bigger.
Over the years, the band naturally evolved from its original brass band roots into a modern live entertainment collective, now performing everything from roaming acoustic brass sets and festival-style receptions through to packed dancefloors with high-energy evening party sets.
Today, The UnSwung Heroes perform regularly at weddings, corporate events, festivals and private parties across the UK and Europe. Despite growing into a large-scale live events band, the group still retains the same energy, musicianship and close-knit chemistry that it was founded on back in 2017.
The UnSwung Heroes are made up of some of the UK’s most in-demand professional musicians, bringing together players whose careers span everything from West End productions and international touring through to studio recording sessions, live television, film soundtracks and major festival stages.
Members of the band regularly perform across the world and have appeared everywhere from the BBC Proms and Royal Albert Hall through to live performances and recordings with artists including Bruno Mars, Stormzy and the Jonas Brothers.
Alongside these world-class credentials, The UnSwung Heroes were built around one simple idea: creating unforgettable live music experiences that genuinely bring people together. Whether it’s a roaming brass set weaving through guests or a packed dancefloor late into the evening, the band combines exceptional musicianship with huge energy, personality and a real love of live performance.
