Our Story
The band formed over a mutual love for playing great music together and having fun while we're at it.
The band formed in 2013, with the aim of playing the jazz and swing of our heroes (Ella Fitzgerald, Quincy Jones, and many others) up to modern day (Gordon Goodwin and even some Adele).
We also feature original arrangements - and yes, with enough notice we will do special requests for private bookings.
If you'd like to hear more then come and see us in person! We are currently not recruiting any new members but welcome playing enquiries.
If you're interested in hiring us, please contact us: info@thelockedhorns.com Our standard setup includes 17 musicians (a full big band), plus at least one vocalist.
