Hackney Colliery Band in concert

Live music from brass mavericks the Hackney Colliery band, plus trumpeter Jay Phelps shares some of the music that inspires him.

Jumoké Fashola presents more highlights from an explosive set by the Hackney Colliery Band recorded for J to Z back in December. The London-based band set out ten years ago to reinvent brass band tradition and feature a genre-bending combination of brass, reeds, percussion and electronics. They're renowned for their high-energy live shows.

Also in the programme, trumpeter Jay Phelps shares some of the music that inspires him. Born in Canada, Phelps moved to London in 1999 and has since become a linchpin of the UK scene. He's worked with greats on both sides of the Atlantic, among them Wynton Marsalis, George Benson and John Dankworth.

Produced by Dominic Tyerman for Somethin’ Else.
