Yorky Pud Street Band is a Yorkshire-based "brash" band playing jazzed-up, funked-up covers of everything from "In the Hall of the Mountain King" to "Seven Nation Army" and "Bad Guy". We also include a selection of originals, with an EP being released using LaunchPad+ in the spring. Starting in 2019 at York St John University as a large-scale "processional" band, it has naturally transformed into the small, stable band it is today. We can go out with a line-up from 3-6 players, depending on the style and size of venue we are playing, but we would be bringing the core three players to the festival to bring a perfect bite-sized brash-band experience!

Take a heaping of jazz, a dash of oom-pah, stir up some mash-ups, and give it a New York subway busking flair. This is the recipe for Yorky Pud Street Band, the graviest band around. While there is the occasional “single-serving” individual song, we present our gigs in "mini-sets", with us not stopping playing for an average of fifteen minutes; playing hit after hit after hit, overlapping, calling back, and keeping the party going for as long as our lungs hold out!

Major gigs include playing for Hallowe'en and Christmas events at This Green Moon (Swillington), York Boathouse Festival (York), and supporting Burlesque with The Scarlet Sirens at Connexins Live Arena (Hull). We also regularly busk, and have played our own events within pubs and clubs around York, Hull, and Newcastle, as well as other minor festivals.
