Glasgow West End Festival (2013, 2014, 2015, 2017)
The Immecke Festival, Sauerland, Germany (2010, 2015)

Influences include Toots and the Maytals, The Clash, The Skatellites, Madness, Prince Buster, The Specials, classic themes, film scores and other Jamaican originals.
The essential brass section gives the “Particks” the necessary punch which these genres require bringing favourable reviews and further interest.
“6 piece ska monster with interchangeable brass accessories. Irresistible beats to move your feet. Jamaican originals, two-tone classics and a twist of Glaswegian soul. Featuring the “Partick Horns” brass section these guys offer an early evening alternative to the X Factor, catch them now and brag to your grandchildren later . . .” Glasgow West End Festival programme.
