Hackney Colliery Band
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hackney Colliery Band is a British jazz brass band from Hackney, London.[1] [2] It plays music inspired by New Orleans jazz and funk.[3]
The band's name is an in-joke, as there is no colliery (coal mine) in Hackney, but this is a common name for traditional British brass bands founded by colliery workers.[4] [5]
