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!

Silence is rarely golden!

After a great deal of soul searching, we have decided that due to too many issues beyond our control we are letting the sun set on the GDSS Music Festival.

We have had three great years of bringing local music talent to the people of Great Dunmow.

All the GDSS committee wish to thank our performers, sponsors, volunteers and supporters and most of all you, the public, for making the event such a success.

If anyone is interested in picking up a great product and running with it – please make contact with us.

Our social media sites and website will remain open until October 2025.
