Get ready for a night of musical mayhem with The Horne Section’s Hit Show!
Britain’s funniest band, led by comedian and Taskmaster creator Alex Horne, is bringing their electrifying blend of high‑octane music, sharp comedy and spontaneous song‑and‑dance to the St Edmund’s Festival opening night! Expect wild genre‑hopping, outrageous humour and brilliant musicianship from five top‑notch players and one delightfully non‑musical frontman. It’s a raucous, ridiculous, and surprisingly satisfying celebration of musical comedy that has wowed audiences across the UK — from sell‑out theatre tours to Edinburgh Fringe and beyond. Don’t miss this unforgettable kick‑off to the festival — visit thehornesection.com for a sneak peek at the band and their world of musical mischief!
