The Horne Section to perform one-off live show in London

The Horne Section are to perform a one-off live show in London this festive period.

Five outstanding musicians, one non-musical stand up. The Horne Section will present The Horne Section’s Big End of Year Bash on Tuesday, 20 December at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire.

The five-headed musical comedy band are set to perform the very best of their unruly, ridiculous, and surprisingly satisfying songs, with plentiful enthusiastic dancing, party games, and a lot of mucking about.

Making up The Horne Section are Alex Horne (band leader), Joe Auckland (trumpet and banjo), Mark Brown (saxophone and guitar), Will Collier (bass), Ben Reynolds (drums and percussion) and Ed Sheldrake (keyboards).

Having starred in their debut sitcom The Horne Section TV Show on Channel 4 which was described as “riotously fun… [and] an utter delight” (The Guardian ★★★★), their previous TV credits include being the in-house band on BBC One’s Peter Crouch’s Year Late Euros and Peter Crouch’s Save Our Summer, which Horne also co-hosted, and Channel 4’s The Last Leg including Last Leg Christmas Special and Last Leg: The Last Leg of the Year. They have featured in Dictionary Corner on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown (Channel 4), The Royal Variety Performance 2018 (ITV), as well as the 2 hour special The Horne Section Television Programme on UKTV’s Dave filmed at the London Palladium, while the band have hosted three series of Alex Horne Presents The Horne Section on BBC Radio 4.

Their iTunes chart topping podcast The Horne Section Podcast is Shortlists’ Best Comedy Podcast and has featured guests including Robbie Williams recording a brand-new version of Angels, Reggie Watts, Sir Chris Hoy, and Greg Davies. The band collaborated with Romesh Ranganathan’s Hip Hop Saved My Life podcast in an exclusive podcast mashup with Acast and Comic Relief.
