Title
Hornstars (Bristol University Big Band) and BUJO (Bristol University Jazz Orchestra)
Description
Hornstars
The Hornstars are the auditioned big band of the University of Bristol and get the collective toe tapping with their repertoire of swing, latin and funk. Over the last few years the band’s reputation has expanded through Bristol and the South West, becoming a regular name at functions and parties with its energetic performances.
However, the Hornstars have also gained recognition further afield recently reclaiming their gold medal at the National Concert Band Festival final in Newcastle. In June 2007 the band spread the love venturing out on tour round Barcelona, drawing large crowds at a series of venues.
To hear what all the fuss is about, check out our Listen section with recordings from previous gigs. If you want to see us live, look at our Gigs page to see when and where we are next playing. To contact or book the band for your own function please visit the Contact page for further information.
Bristol University Jazz Orchestra
BUJO are a large, unauditioned jazz ensemble welcoming players of all abilities. New last year, they rapidly went from strength to strength with a varied, fun and challenging repertoire, playing anything from classic jazz to swing, funk and even a cheeky bit of pop.
In the last year, BUJO have played at many university events including parties in the union, balls and charity events, always giving a lively, enthusiastic performance.
