Fat Cat Brass are a brass band like you've never experienced before.
We play original arrangements of classic pop tunes from the last 5 decades.
There's 4 horn players and 2 drummers....who perform on STILTS!
The tunes will keep you singing and the rhythms will keep you dancing.
Whether it's a Carnival, Festival, private party or bar, the Fat Cats will bring energy and joy into your space.
​
We pride ourselves on being only a 4 horn set-up and love the challenge of taking a great tune and making it work in our own way. So, along with the two drummers, being a 6 piece band makes us quite unique in the brass band world. Fat Cat is small but mighty!
​
Most of our gigs are totally unplugged and acoustic. However, we also often perform using a full p.a. set up and wireless, roaming mics. This is great for the larger indoor venues where everyone wants a piece of the action.
​
Carnivals, Festivals, Parades - Fat Cat can parade through your streets or venue, with the drummers on stilts.
​
We can also be a roaming band, stilts or ground based.
​
Stage - Blistering Latin style arrangements with an Afro-Cuban percussion set up.
