"We have been meaning to send you a note to say thank you to you all for such a great time on Saturday. Both the band and DJ were amazing and really made the evening. We have received countless messages from people saying how good you guys were. You even managed to make some of those long lost uncles who we never expected to dance to get up and move their feet! James and Laura."

"Band of Brassers played at our wedding at Hampton Court House in April and were amazing. Communication with them was very easy via email before the day and they arrived promptly to set up just outside our dining hall on the day with no disruption at all. They were professional and super flexible around our timings on the day. One of their members also was able to provide DJ services between sets which was a no-brainer. The music really brought the energy and got everyone up dancing. We definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a great mix of event music!"

"We just wanted to drop you an email and say thank you so much for your set at our wedding. It was so energetic, so well-rehearsed and absolutely the perfect way to get our party started. We've had so many compliments from everyone saying how good you were. In fact, you brought my grandad to tears. He absolutely loved you. Once again, on behalf of Lucy and me, we'd like to thank everyone involved. You absolutely smashed it. You really were an inspiration. Thank you so so much."

"We were lucky enough to book Band Of Brassers for our wedding. We wanted something unique for our wedding and asked if they would mind performing as we left the church after our ceremony. Band Of Brassers then led a procession of our guests to the venue and even performed on the boat we had booked to get us there. They really were brilliant and got everyone singing along. One of the main highlights of our day and would 100% recommend booking! The guests raved about them all day!"

"Band of Brassers played at our wedding and were absolutely fantastic. They were always quick to reply via email, and on the day arrived with plenty of time to set up. They played a great range of music and managed to get everyone up on the dance floor (something we weren't expecting with a small Covid wedding of 30-40 people). They would work for both small and larger groups. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and would definitely use them again!"

Can we book one band for a roaming show and a stage show at the same event?Yes, many clients like to take advantage of the flexibility of the roaming band, which can perform anywhere, including a stage. With the roaming band we often combine these 2 types of shows.
Regarding the stage band; is it a problem that there isn’t a stage at the venue?No problem for us. The stage band doesn’t really need a stage, just an area indoors or outdoors to base our performance.
Can the stage band do a bit of roaming?Yes, but it is limited to a certain degree because the drummer is fixed to the drum kit. The brass players can move around and mingle with guests/hosts on the dance floor during a stage performance.
How long do you play for, and do you need a break?We can perform up to 90 minutes of music. This is usually divided into 2x 45 sets with a 30 minute break in between. The break is essential to continue high-quality performance.
Can you perform outdoors?Yes, we love alfresco shows, however we ask that you plan for adverse weather conditions. A large gazebo is an advisable precaution to ensure that we can still perform during a rainstorm.
What music do you play, and can we make requests from your repertoire?Please see our repertoire list. We are happy to take requests from this and put together a bespoke set list for your event.
Can you play a song that’s not on this list?Yes, we are happy to learn and rehearse song/s of your choice. We outsource musical arrangements to a pro who writes the sheet music for us, and there is a cost involved. A 3 minute arrangement for the quintet/sextet band costs £75.
We saw you perform with an amazing rapper, is it possible to book him for our event?Yes, subject to availability, Johnny is happy to perform at private events. Please let us know if you’re interested in having him as part of the show so we can include his fee in your quote.
Do you perform amplified or acoustic?Roaming shows are always acoustic. Stage shows can be amplified if the audience/venue size warrants it. We own our own 1,000 Watt punchy PA system which we rarely use because the acoustic sound of the band is huge already! Let us know if you desire an amplified show.
We need to hire a PA (sound system) for our event, can you help?Yes, We own our own 1,000 Watt punchy PA system which can be used to deliver high quality recorded music and/or speeches. We can deliver, setup, and take down, plus offer technical support at the event. Please let us know if you are interested in this service.
Do you offer DJ entertainment?Yes, we offer a full event entertainment package which includes a pro DJ who can put together a bespoke setlist for you, PA (soundsystem) hire and of course a Brass Band performance! This usually works out much more cost effective than booking through different companies.
What do you need from us?We always request a rider of 1 meal and 2 drinks (minimum) per musician. A small room where we can change and warm up is ideal, but it’s not a deal breaker if this isn’t possible.
Do you have any dietary requirements?No, our regular musicians eat everything. We will let you know if we have a deputy musician who has specific requirements.
