Wishful Thinking: Hackney Colliery Band and "It's Normally Bigger"



Today's random tune is by London-based group Hackney Colliery Band. Describing themselves a "New Orleans-style line up of trumpets, trombones, saxes, sousaphone and two drummers, and a name which pays homage to the British brass heritage," they have played in clubs across Europe, collaborated with musicians such as Amy Winehouse, and have created three hit albums. They describe their music as being influenced by contemporary rock, electronica, jazz and global brass. Their name is taken from the East London neighborhood from whence they came. You can find this song, It's Normally Bigger, on their 2016 release Sharpener.
