" 5 out of 5 We were all really impressed with the transformation of our Mess into a Höfbrauhaus! The band were amazing and fully embraced our split Oktoberfest/Halloween theme. Highly recommended! "

"Made the day! These gents are the best around. Fantastic guys, brilliant musicians and, most importantly, they bring the party! Huge smiles and a great vibe. We surprised the couple with the band on their way out of the civil ceremony and the whole wedding party was blown away. Thanks, gents! You were heroes!"

"Hi Graham   We just wanted to say a huge thank you for being involved in this year's Virgin Sport Hackney Half.   What you and the other musicians delivered was above and beyond our expectation and bought smiles to so many faces around the festival village and on the race course.   We very much look forward to working with you again soon!   Best wishes, Abi, Pieto, Becca and all the Progress team"

You're welcome. It was a pleasure to send the runners off with a brassy spring in their step! Graham

"The Free Radicals Brass Band were amazing! They were super easy to work with, and they really brought the energy to the wedding reception. They had a great presence, tons of fun, and of course amazing music. I saw relatives dance that I didn't know were even capable of it! Everyone who was at the wedding had a great time and really enjoyed the music. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. "

"Your band yesterday was terrific. Not only did they play exactly the music we wanted but they were such lovely people. Please give them thanks from of all of us who organised the street party for the crucial part they played in making it a resounding success"

"I just wanted to say a huge and heartfelt thank you, from Matt and I, for coming to play at our wedding. The band were completely outstanding, truly incredible and a perfect party starter for our wonderful day! Our friends and family couldn't get enough of them and were so complimentary - everyone said how much they loved the music! And the first dance arrangement was completely magical. Honestly, the performance was perfect from start to finish."

"Have known members of the Free Radicals for decades, and decided to hire them to perform at my wedding in 2014. We had some unusual requests (i.e., to perform as a marching band for a second line) and also to play some quieter "mood" music for our reception, and they were 100% game and did a wonderful job--professional musicians who know how to work a crowd with minimal handholding from event organizers! Guests really enjoyed and would recommend!"

"We had Big Smoke Brass make a surprise entrance at our wedding just after our ceremony, and they nailed it perfectly, it was everything we imagined and more! All our guests loved it and have been raving about how great you were. We only wish we could have you back to do it all again!"

"The band were absolutely brilliant. Easy to talk to and helpful in discussing exactly how to get the experience we wanted. They were friendly and played so well. They made the day one what we will all remember for a very long time. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you."

"Wir hatten den wunderbaren Manu für meinen 50. Geburtstag gebucht!! Alle Gäste waren absolut begeistert, und mein Mann hätte mir wohl kein schöneres Überraschungsgeschenk machen können! Immer wieder gerne nicht nur dass er ein unglaublich guter Saxophon ist ist er ist zudem auch noch ein unglaublich sympathischer Mensch!"

"We were lucky enough to hire the Party Band with Singer to perform at our wedding, and they were brilliant. From the initial enquiry, to the booking, to the actual day, it was all easy and stress free. All our guests were so complimentary and thoroughly enjoyed the performance, and the band fully vindicated our decision to not have a DJ. Gabriel was very considerate to ask if there were any songs from the set list we definitely wanted to be played, or avoided, and also kind enough to play our own playlist through their speakers between sets. I wouldn't hesitate to hire the band in the future for any other special occasion/event, and would recommend them to everyone"

"Great band! Really transformed our festival into a merry event. Big Smoke got people dancing, and played a nice mix of Christmas songs and covers of Pop songs. We would book them again."

"We were so excited to have Big Smoke at our wedding having had to postpone and it was definitely worth the wait. They were fantastic keeping our guests entertained during our drinks reception. This continued in the evening - many guests said they’d never seen so many people on the dance floor at one time! They guys are great and everyone loved them. The communication leading up to the day was great and they were happy to play the songs we really wanted as well as leaving off those we didn’t really like too much. We would highly recommend Big Smoke Brass!"
