Summer By The River: Oompah Brass

Formed back in 2006, Oompah Brass began as a traditional Bavarian Oompah band. These days however, you won't hear any German marches or Polkas - their repertoire of ‘oompah' music is drawn from the likes of AC/DC, Queen, Bon Jovi, Led Zeppelin, Taylor Swift and Katy Perry to name just a few!

They have reworked more than 180 songs - ingeniously turning them into at times frivolous and funny entertainment pieces, and at other times simply beautiful and magical examples of fine brass playing.

They were the winners of the 2012 Haizetara International Street Band Competition, the first band on stage at the London Olympic Stadium and have regularly featured on TV and Radio. They have performed live many times on 'The One Show' (BBC 1), and played on Radio 1, Radio 2, Radio 3, Radio 5, 6 Music and BBC Radio London.
