Biography

“The Legends In Lederhosen – they rock – so good”
Chris Evans, Radio 2

This rock ‘n’ roll oompah band was created over 9 years ago with a classically trained brass quintet who met at the Royal College of Music.

They started out in German-themed clubs and pubs in London playing Bavarian oompah music as a way of paying off their student loans. But they soon began to find playing traditional waltzes and polkas rather dull, so they decided to arrange and play classic pop, soul and rock songs with an oompah beat and a Bavarian swing, thereby creating the first-ever Oom-pop band!

They now regularly support comedians live on-stage, including Al Murray, Frank Skinner and Ross Noble during their respective London shows.

They perform in concerts and at festivals all over the world. In 2012, they won the prestigious Haizetara International Street Band Festival in Spain, receiving the accolade of “Best Band in the Festival” and a prize of 10,000 euros. Their French horn player was also voted “Best Musician in the Festival.”

They have performed on Radios 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 and have also appeared on BBC TV, ITV and Channel Four.
