Five outstanding musicians and one non-musical stand-up, The Horne Section, “Britain’s Funniest Band” (The Guardian), is the six-headed musical comedy band where freewheeling, ridiculous, and surprisingly satisfying music happens, led by creator and co-host of BAFTA and National Comedy Award-winning hit TV show Taskmaster, Alex Horne.

The band have starred in their sitcom The Horne Section TV Show on Channel 4 for two seasons, which was described as “riotously fun… [and] an utter delight” (The Guardian ★★★★), and “a first-class comedy” (The Sunday Times Online).  Their previous TV credits include being featured on Channel 4’s The Last Leg, including Last Leg Christmas Special and Last Leg: The Last Leg of the Year. They were the in-house band on BBC One’s Peter Crouch’s Year Late Euros and Peter Crouch’s Save Our Summer, as well as being the only band to ever host Never Mind The Buzzcocks. They have featured in Dictionary Corner on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown (Channel 4), The Royal Variety Performance 2018 (ITV), as well as their 2-hour special of The Horne Section Television Programme on UKTV’s Dave, filmed at the London Palladium. The band have also hosted three series of Alex Horne Presents The Horne Section on BBC Radio 4. The Horne Section have performed live on-stage across the UK to sold-out audiences.

The band’s iTunes chart-topping podcast The Horne Section Podcast is Shortlist’s Best Comedy Podcast. The band also collaborated with Romesh Ranganathan’s Hip Hop Saved My Life podcast in an exclusive podcast mashup with Acast and Comic Relief. 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 Oasis.
