GDSS BAND LINE-UP

OLD SKOOL BAND

Old Skool Band
OLD SKOOL are a 7-piece party band based in Colchester, Essex. With a funky brass section, this female-fronted band specialise in weddings and private parties but if you're lucky you can sometimes catch them at cool festivals just like this one!

The band is formed of a group of super experienced musicians.  Between them they have won various competitions, played in the pits of various local shows and productions, played for various corporate clients such as ARM and Rolex and you may even have heard our trumpeters playing on various TV shows such as BBC’s Antiques Road Trip and Channel 5’s The Hotel Inspector!

Their members don’t only play though! As well as making a living playing and composing music, some have ‘real’ jobs such as being a postie & working in the Big Smoke!  A few of them are teachers and although the style of music they play links nicely to their name, that is actually the real reason they are called OLD SKOOL!

You can expect to hear OLD SKOOL performing lots of funk, disco, soul, motown and RnB songs so make sure you get your dancing shoes at the ready!

21st June 2025

After careful consideration, we have decided that the next Music Festival will be in 2025 on Saturday 21st June!
So in 2024, Great Dunmow can focus on the Flitch Trials, and the GDSS team can work hard on producing an even bigger and better event. We want even more people to enjoy the music!
