"Absolutely great They were absolutely great. As a Dutch couple we organised our wedding in Sicily. We could not have wished for a better band than Jazzamuri. Marcello was also very friendly and even helped us with recommendations to make the day even better. ​"

"Simply fantastic! Manu’s song selection was perfect, and he managed to keep everyone dancing all night. He rocked the evening with the DJ. Thank you for a memorable celebration!"

"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 off 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 I, we'd like to thank everyone involved. You absolutely smashed it. You really were an inspiration. Thank you so so much. Kindest regards, Vicki & Lucy"

"Victor of Hampton Pipes & Drums was a pleasure to deal with in preparing for the event. He was the an unforgettable addition to my niece's wedding ceremony and he set a wonderful backdrop to an already magical day. Many thanks to him and his gift of music. I highly recommend Hampton Pipes & Drums for your event. P.S. Friends of mine also hired Hampton Pipes & Drums for a 60th birthday party - also a great success!"

"Just to say a huge thank you for the gig on Saturday – which was clearly very well received by the audience. There’s a comment on FB asking if you’ll come back and the customer saying (yesterday afternoon) that she is still smiling! Although I’ve seen you guys a few times, I really thought it worked very well at Ashcroft and it was the best gig I’ve seen. You are all such talented, wonderful musicians individually in your own rights, but the chemistry was fantastic. It felt like we had experienced something very special and unique. The playfulness and sense of enjoyment and fun was contagious. Thank you – and please do pass on my thanks to all the band. I hope the journeys back home were all ok.  Many many thanks,  Helen Cundy"

"Sharon and I were delighted with the great start which you gave to our party – having the drinks out in the garden worked out well and the lively and fun programme you gave us was the perfect introduction to the evening. Perhaps you’d be kind enough to convey our sincere thanks to your colleagues"

"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!"

"Dear Big Smoke Brass, I would like to thank you so so much for performing as the warm-up act for our production of Cabaret. It was absolutely fantastic to have such an exciting welcome for our audience members and everyone was buzzing! It was the perfect way to kick off the evening's entertainment! In fact many people said it was a shame that you only played for 15minutes and would have happily listened to you for hours! You were absolutely professional in your presentation and the music was absolutely stunning. I will certainly be recommending you to my friends and family - and indeed anyone who is looking for musical entertainment! Thank you once again, King's College London Medsoc Musical Theatre"

"Thank you Big Smoke Brass for making our wedding so special. We wanted to find a band who did something a bit different, and who could play to a wedding crowd without being too ‘cheesy’. I’m so glad they were able to make our wedding in Wales; they were incredible. From the start, they were flexible about what songs we wanted them to play and were quick to respond - all while being amazing musicians who I’d love to see play all over again. They really judged the mood of the evening and both of their sets were brilliant. Everyone left the evening wanting to know who the band were, how we found them...or wanted to pick up a tuba and start learning. Thank you, thank you! "

"Manu was absolutely incredible at our intimate wedding with just a few guests. Despite the small crowd, he truly animated the party and interacted with everyone, creating an enjoyable atmosphere. During dinner, he played beautifully on his saxophone, and as soon as the meal ended, he led the guests from the dining area straight to the dance floor with his sax! Everyone followed him, and it was such a fantastic way to kick off the partty. Thank you so much, Manu, for making our special day even more memorable!"

"During the planning of my fathers funeral I realized that I didn't call to book someone to play , in a panic that it was too late I found the Hampton Pipes website. Very shortly after I received a called from Victor. Immediately when is spoke to him I knew he was professional and caring that he was the right person for this special job. He did a great job played all the songs that we discussed and really made the day special. I know my Dad was smiling from heaven. Thank you Victor!"
