Sometimes there's a touch of the 'slow burn' to Festival Sundays; stamina's waning, limbs are aching and body odour is questionable at best. A short, sharp, shot of serotonin to the brain is all that's needed - enter Hypnotic Brass Ensemble.

Eight sons of jazz musician Phil Cohran make up this incendiary band of brothers, all of whom play a range of brass instruments (predictably enough) ranging from trumpets to sousaphone. They've played everywhere from Chicago street corners to Hyde Park and have performed together most of their lives...not surprising then that they can work a crowd like nobody's business.

They tore up the Little Big Tent with their mesmeric fusion of house, hip hop and jazz . Think Kanye West meets Miles Davis. The set list drew largely from this years eponymously titled album with 'War', 'Party Started' and 'Hypnotic' proving the biggest crowd pleasers. Their boundless enthusiasm and infectious energy reinvigorated the assembled crowd who happily satisfied every call to action from the stage with dance moves ranging from the humble bounce to the all out frenzied limb-flail. Quite a sight to behold!

They're set to return to these shores in October of this year and on the basis of this show, we'd peg them as a must see!
