Matt and Phreds

Ben Jackson tenor saxophone / Laurence Mason bass saxophone / Chris Williamson trumpet / George Hardwick trombone / James Walker drums 

Hijack Horns grab a fist full of feel-good tunes, a handful of high-energy brass, throw it all in a blender and serve you the spiciest, brassiest smoothie your aural tastebuds can handle. Made up of players from long established street bands who are no strangers to the impromptu alfresco rave, this new band squashes the punch of a much bigger outfit into a slinky 5-piece. 

Powered by their perennial appetite to bring the party to the people, the Hijack Horns’ philosophy is simple – life’s too short to watch other people dance. 

Hijack Horns upholds a strict “All Killer, No Filler” policy, with classics from Stevie Wonder, George Benson and Curtis Mayfield through to The Human League, Fatboy Slim and Outkast.
