Ross W booked The MBB Band for their wedding
“Dear Chris On behalf of Charlotte and I, I would like to say a big thank you to you and the rest of your team who played at our wedding. The day was already absolutely perfect, but arriving into the Olympia suite to the sight and sound of the MBB Band just made the day! We were late to arriving to the evening reception (a brides prerogative…!) but that was no problem to the band who adapted to the time change perfectly. The music was unbelievable and the second set especially when all the guests had warmed up, had everyone on their feet dancing the night away! I will absolutely be recommending the MBB Band to everyone I know for any occasion and certainly hope to use you again for the next of our special occasions. Thank you again Kind Regards Ross and Charlotte Winney”
Gary B booked The MBB Band for their party in Warwickshire
“The MBB Band were AMAZING!! No regrets with booking them. Getting that big band, swing feel to our event just made the night so wonderful. They are top notch musicians, singers and technicians. Even a few days after the event people are still talking about the band. The lead singer is Buble, Sinatra and Dean Martin rolled into a tight ball of sleazy cotton wool. Booking them again is a no brainer!!”
Muhammad N booked The MBB Band for their event
“Hey Chris! I didn't get the opportunity to properly thank you! Thank you so much for coming down it was a pleasure to have you guys there, everyone said you were absolutely amazing!”

Simon C booked The MBB Band for their event
“Hi Chris. The Mini Big Band were the PERFECT choice for our event and for the venue. The band were superb, we had great feedback from our guests and would no hesitations in booking you again or recommending to others. The Children's Heart Foundation are having their 30 year anniversary shortly and are thinking that an Aspire/Mini Big Band combo will be a winner! By the way, I miscalculated the amount raised for the Childrens Heart Surgery Fund - it was actually £31k ! Please pass on our thanks to all of the boys.”
Oh my goodness. Where to start...... YOU GUYS WERE UTTERLY INCREDIBLE. THANK YOU...
