CUT CAPERS are a 9-piece Bristol band whose energetic live performance and infectious sound have won them a cult following on the British festival scene. Mixing a heavy 4-piece brass section with funk, jazz and hip-hop.

Cut Capers have established themselves as go-to festival favourites, playing headline shows and main stage performances at some of the UK’s biggest festivals including Glastonbury and Boomtown Fair. They have now performed in over 70 cities across 10 countries including Italy, Turkey and Bahrain.

Their second studio album Metropolis received critical acclaim and national airplay on BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio Bristol and BBC Radio Wales. The release, alongside subsequent remixes, has clocked over 10 million streams on Spotify alone.

Their third album Sightseeing & Short Negotiations, released September 2023, has been championed by DJs at Radio 6 Music and Jazz FM, including a berth in the prestigious A List as well as being Jazz FM's "Album of the Week" in January 2024.
