Ever wondered what a Kris Nock Big Band rehearsal looks (and sounds) like? Spoiler: it involves a lot of music, a lot of laughs, and the occasional unexpected cartoon theme tune.
We rehearse fortnightly in Bristol, where 17 of us cram into a space just big enough to contain all our brass, rhythm, reeds, and enthusiasm. It’s where we fine-tune new charts, run setlists for upcoming gigs, and sneak in the odd wild card.
Like this.
🎥 Here’s a sneak peek from the point of view of our incredible keys player, Travis, absolutely tearing through a solo over the Fairly Odd Parents theme - yes, really. (And yes, it might just be making an appearance in our summer festival set...)

Make sure to follow Travis on Instagram for more!
We like to keep things fresh, fun, and just a little bit chaotic. Rehearsals are where the magic begins, and where the band gels into the tight, high-energy machine we bring to every show.
Want to catch us live? Check out our upcoming /shows. Or if you're a trombonist with a taste for fast key changes and good vibes, maybe get in touch - we’ve got a chair waiting.
