Festival on The Close presents The Horne Section They have two series of their own Channel 4 TV show, an iTunes-chart-topping podcast and now theyre tuning up their instruments once more to come to Festival on The Close, Rugby: its the Horne Sections HitShow! "Britain's Funniest Band" (The Guardian) have made appearances on The Last Leg (Channel 4), Peter Crouchs Year-Late Euros (BBC One), they are Dictionary Corner regulars on 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and the only band to ever host Never Mind The Buzzcocks . Separately, members of The Horne Section have performed with recording artists including Robbie Williams, Madness, Florence and the Machine, Amy Winehouse, George Ezra, Basement Jaxx, Disclosure and NoelGallaghers High Flying Birds. Unruly, ridiculous, and surprisingly satisfying, the six-headed comedy band includes five outstanding musicians and one non-musical stand-up. Therell be comedy, songs, enthusiastic dancing, and a lot of mucking about. A brand-new show from the hugely talented band and Alex Horne, the creator and co-host of the BAFTA and National Comedy Award-winning Taskmaster . We cant recommend The Horne Section highly enough Time Out endlessly charming, offbeat humour The Independent funny and delightful... this is a welcome escapist treat Heat To keep updated with all Festival on The Close announcements, follow us on our socials: @festivalonthecloserugby
