United Colours of Mas (UCOM Carnival) is the UK’s premier, award winning carnival band.
(28)

Originally, Bacchanal Mas, the band was established in 2007 by Paul O’Donoghue and Richard Gallimore. In 2011 we rebranded and became “UCOM – United Colours of Mas”, a name reflective of our identity. At UCOM we pride ourselves on our commitment to the historic traditions of mas and fusing them with modern design and techniques. We constantly evolve and innovate when it comes to costume design and

concepts, customer service, road experience and exciting themes. UCOM Carnival has won 1st place in the Notting Hill Carnival Adult Fun & Fantasy category multiple times. In 2019 we achieved 1st place in the Adult Fun & Fantasy category, Band Of The Year, Best Dutty Mas Band and Best Sound System award with RC1 Audio in both 2019 and 2022. In 2019, UCOM collaborated with Alvaro Barrington to create a full “On The Road Concert” featuring Patrice Roberts, Machel Montano, Motto, Skinny Fabulous, Mr Killa and Teddyson John which was a truly once-in-a-lifetime road experience. The Team consists of Paul O’Donoghue (Designer), Adunni Adams (Director and Project Manager) and Steve Clarke (Band Leader). Promoted Private Sections include Kenvee, One Paradise x Shades Worldwide, Onyx Mas and Socaholic UK. We are looking forward to a positive and exciting 2023 as we present “Aves – Birds of the Tropics” for the London Notting Hill Carnival.

Our Story

United Colours of Mas (UCOM Carnival) is the UK’s premier, award winning carnival band.

Originally launched in 2007 with the birth name Bacchanal Mas, they hit the road at Notting Hill Carnival as UCOM for the first time in 2011.

UCOM now combines Hype Mas, Socaholic UK, Amorous Mas London and Onyx Mas to form UCOM Carnival & Associates.

The band’s Creative Director, Paul O’Donoghue is an award winning international designer and has been in the business of costume design and making mas for over 20 years.

Under his guidance along with Band Leader, Steve Clarke and Co-Designers Renata Gordon and Loic Corvo the band continuously strives to be original and ground-breaking, at the same time paying respect to the traditions of carnival by creating mas with meaning and costumes that tell a story.

Uniquely, UCOM has a mas camp that is active year round and in the run up to carnival, the doors to the workshop are open to anyone interested in learning about carnival arts and the craft of making mas. Just drop in, get involved and keep the carnival rituals alive.

At Notting Hill Carnival, UCOM offers an unrivalled, premium two day carnival experience and is all inclusive in every sense, welcoming people into their carnival family from all walks of life and from all over the world, regardless of race, nationality and sexuality.

The band is constantly innovating, improving it’s product and service to stay ahead of the rest and being on the road with UCOM you can expect the show-stopping costumes that they are renowned for and much more:

• First class service • Exclusive UCOM goodie bag, thermal drinks cup and sports bottle • Complimentary drinks • Breakfast, hot lunch and light snacks • 3 x 45ft music trucks • 7 top local and international Soca DJs representing all Caribbean islands • Roped off band with top security, stewards, first aiders and customer service reps • Mobile restrooms • Roaming photographers and videographers • Complimentary Dutty Mas package for Carnival Sunday • Exclusive access to post-carnival season “Thank You” party
