"Simply Outstanding Live ”

Isle of Wight Festival

Influenced by the likes of Hot 8 Brass Band, Funkadelic, Toots and the Maytals and Sly and the Family Stone, frontman and founder Nathan Thomas was inspired to start the band following a road trip from New Orleans to Nashville. Since their debut gig in September 2016 Full Tilt have graced the stage at venues all over London including Rich Mix, Hootananny Brixton, The Magic Garden, Paper Dress Vintage, Archspace as well as festivals like Isle of Wight, Hogsozzle and Sunrise. To date the band have released two EP’s of original tunes - ‘The Remedy’ and ‘Prequel’, as well as live videos of the tracks ‘Keep the Candle Burning’ and ‘Imagine’.

The band is made up of an ever growing collective of musicians, with any one lineup featuring lead vocals, guitar, two backing vocalists, two trumpets, two trombones, baritone sax, tenor/alto sax, drums and sousaphone. With members of the collective including graduates of Guildhall and Trinity College of music, much of the band has a background in jazz music, and they’re consequently delighted to be playing a venue with such a prestigious reputation.
