Fancy helping some Old Dirty Brasstards?

The brilliantly named brass group just needs a bit of help to enable them to record their first studio album...

Brasstards
 

The fantastically named Old Dirty Brasstards group, made up of some very well known brass faces, has been making a great name for itself (although not quite literally) over the last couple of years in and around London at some pretty high profile gigs.

Kickstarter

They are now getting ready to start recording their first album and just need an extra bit of Kickstarter support to put the final bits and pieces in place before they head to the studio for a debut release in early 2016.

Formed in 2012 the 10 piece drum and bass collective has gained an enviable reputation for their bold and innovative approach, with their mission to introduce brass music to brand new audiences.

Familiar

They are made up of some familiar faces to the brass band world — such as Cai Isfryn and David Geoghan as well as lads who have graced the uniforms of Foden's, Grimethorpe and others…

They are also a talented bunch with a video camera too — as you can see with their promo video4BR
