Crocodile Style Street Band

 

Crocodile Style


The band that made the Millennium Bridge rock!

Crocodile Style played on the first parade across London’s famous wobbly bridge, and grooved so much they had to close the bridge!

Highlights: Jazz sous les Pommiers - France, Museum of Childhood - London, Van Dijck Parade - Antwerp, Lord Mayors Show - City of London, Millennium Dome - New Year's Eve 1999, Portsmouth Day of the Dead

A 7 piece street band (sax, trumpet, trombone, sousaphone, drums), that plays music from all over the world – from Richard Strauss to Soul II Soul:  

  • Cumbia, samba, and mambos from Latin America
  • Gospel and New Orleans funk from America
  • Jive from South Africa
  • Ska from Jamaica
  • Spanish folk and British r’n’b from Europe 
  • Wedding songs from India

Creating a sense of carnival, with vibrant music, wild costumes, and nifty dance steps, Crocodile Style have been booked (and re-booked) throughout Europe, at festivals of all descriptions from world music festivals, to International Juggling Conventions, corporate functions, and community events.

Playing Situations: On procession, wandering and in a set location;  acoustic and amplified.

Personnel:  The band includes some of London's most versatile and wide-eared musicians, also to be heard with bands such as the Bollywood Brass Band, the Grand Union, and Zubop.

Workshops:  members of Crocodile Style can offer workshops in various aspects of music and instrument making.

 

Christmas version:  the band performs for Christmas events with a special costume and repertoire of festive favourites.
