About

Peggy's Skylight
Tickets: £12.50

The world's only tin whistle-fronted brass band, Southbound fuses British folk with jazz, funk, and brassy chaos. Their high-energy live shows redefine what traditional folk music can feel like - bold and groove-heavy.

Southbound is a London-based band taking folk music in a bold, original direction. They sit at the crossroads of British folk, brass funk, and groove-driven contemporary jazz, creating a sound that's deeply rooted yet unmistakably modern – massive trad with a metropolitan twist.

Regular performers across London venues, Southbound have gained a reputation for electrifying live shows, fusing intricate folk melodies with virtuosic improvisation and shouty folk sing-alongs. Their sound is as thrilling as it is hard to pin down: folk-jazz meets Celtic fusion, performed with a brassy mayhem.

Fronted by tin whistle and powered by brass and drums, the line-up brings together the freshest talent from the folk, jazz, and session scenes. Drawing on the spirit of British folk traditions, the band combines their technical skill with a shared instinct for collective energy and an infectious momentum.

Bold, groove-heavy, and built for movement, Southbound are redefining what contemporary folk can feel like – fast becoming one of the most exciting new acts on the UK folk circuit.
