Tongues of Fire are a riot of reeds, brass and rhythm section making a ?joyful noise? for dreaming, dancing and celebration

The band create new music, mine English traditions like west gallery and village bands, call on the collective fire of free jazz and play street band sounds from Jamaica, the Southern US and the Balkans. They are ideal for performing at outdoor events in parks, streets and town squares.

Tongues of Fire are inspired by inspired by sounds of church and chapel, of village, street, circus and gypsy bands, the jazz marches of Albert Ayler and the cosmic carnival of Sun Ra.
