Can you believe it? Five whole years of Cool Beans. Something that started as a small time club night/radio show has spawned five whole years of parties along with two television series, a management agency, a monthly column in Now Then and a regular slot on FM radio. Cool Beans has also enabled us to host stages at festivals, take a musical comedy show on the road, DJ all over the UK & beyond and make a whole bunch of friends in the process!
As always, a big thanks to everyone who has helped us along the way, it means a lot that you keep coming to the events and tuning in to our tv/radio output. As you know by now, there’s only one to celebrate a beans milestone, and that’s by hosting a huge party in a venue we’ve never partied in before! Hooray!

NEW YORK BRASS BAND
Some people call them “the ultimate party band”, and you know what, we’d have to agree with them. These brass monsters have been known to clamber on bar tops, take parties into the street and hang upside down playing trombones! You know you’re in for a good time when NYBB are on a line up!
