The London Gay Big Band, founded in the summer of 2011, is a sensational twenty piece jazz orchestra made up of predominantly - but not exclusively - LGBT musicians and vocalists, bringing a fresh and fabulous vibe to the London music scene. Since its formation, the Band has gone from strength to strength, performing at a number of high profile events and venues throughout London and internationally. In 2014 the LGBB reached the Semi Finals of Britain's Got Talent, performing live to a television audience of 7 million people. ​ Previous appearances include BST Hyde Park Festival, Southbank Centre, main stage at Trafalgar Square Pride, main stage at BT London Live in Victoria Park (part of London 2012 Olympics), Roundhouse, Hackney Empire, The Lord Mayor's Show & Charing Cross Theatre, among many others. ​ They have recently released their debut album BRAVE recorded at Abbey Road Studios with some of Britain's finest vocalists from Jazz and West End, including Ian Shaw, Clare Teal, Claire Martin and Emma Hatton.
