The Peace Artistes


Bradford City of Culture 2025 saw an action-packed weekend - and the weather was brilliant for it, warm and sunny. In the city centre there was a 'Big Brass Blast', part of a weekend celebrating the wonderful tradition of brass bands, both traditional and contemporary. The Peace Artistes Street Band fall into 'contemporary', I suppose, though they've been performing their brand of sassy, lively street music 'rocking with rhythm and pulsating with passion' since the 1980s, (which by my reckoning makes them quite a tradition in themselves.) 



The huge and wonderfully curvy sousaphone has the additional quality of reflecting the surroundings in a rather interesting way.
