Music lovers have the chance to join the band as they make their way from The Charles Bradlaugh to The Picturedrome pubs ahead of their show at 9pm.

The Hot 8 bring elements of modern, traditional and urban music together and create a unique new class of brass music.

The band embodies the hip-hop culture and energy of the New Orleans music scene and regularly takes part in parades in the town.

Founded by Bennie Pete, Jerome Jones, and Harry Cook in 1995, the band has played in traditional New Orleans parades each Sunday ever since.

The Hot 8 are famous for playing all day in the sun, then hopping to a club gig and playing through the night.

The band has toured extensively and regularly plays at some of the world's most renowned jazz festivals, including the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

They also recently appeared in Spike Lee's documentary When the Levees Broke, capturing the despair of Hurricane Katrina, where they featured as they reached out to those who lost their homes and communities by bringing music to the masses to keep their spirits up and raise money.

Hot 8 perform at The Picturedrome from 9pm and tickets cost £5 each.

The parade is due to leave the Charles Bradlaugh at about 6pm.

Tickets are available from The Charles Bradlaugh on 01604 473225 or The Picturedrome on 01604 230777.
