Tickets: £12.50
Founded in the heart of London's West End, the Soho Saints Brass Band brings the vibrant culture and energy of New Orleans brass music to Peggy's Skylight. 'Their sound is pure joy.' The Green Pages
Founded in the heart of London's West End, the Soho Saints Brass Band brings the vibrant culture of New Orleans brass music to the UK. The band was formed in 2025 by trombonist Connor Martin alongside fellow musicians from music college. Having been a member of groups such as the National Youth Jazz Orchestra and the New York Brass Band, Connor drew on his experience to form his own ensemble and carry the tradition forward to a new generation.
With an increasing number of commercial brass bands emerging, he set out to create a group that maintains a strong New Orleans presence within the UK jazz scene. Taking influence from iconic artists such as Trombone Shorty, Hot 8, Rebirth, and Dirty Dozen, the Soho Saints perform a mixture of New Orleans repertoire and original material.
Events such as the Soho Jazz Festival and Ziggy Fest have seen the Soho Saints parade through iconic London locations including Piccadilly Circus, Soho Square, and Carnaby Street. The band's mobile setup allows them to roam freely and perform almost anywhere. A residency at Ziggy Green has helped establish a regular presence on Regent Street, bringing live brass music to hundreds of passers-by.
