Review Centre: Brass Bands

"“The Ambrassadors played at our wedding and we cannot recommend them enough. They learnt our first dance song and came in perfectly. Their outfits fit in so well with the festival vibe and our guests LOVED them. Every wedding should have the Ambrassadors. We already want to organise an event where they can play again. Thank you for making our wedding so special.” "

"Amazing band with brass sound We couldn’t have been happier with Sidewalk Crusaders! Not only did they learn new songs for us, but they also delivered an incredible performance. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the band, and the atmosphere they created was perfect for both the ceremony and reception. Highly recommend them if you want a band that will wow your crowd!"

"We saw this band by chance when on holiday in Saint Jean de Luz: brilliant! Lots of Blues Brothers and classic soul for us oldies, smattered with newer numbers that the kids knew, but the combination worked for everybody. There was a group dancing rock and roll who appeared to have come just to boogie. The singers are young and dynamic, great energy and harmonies, and four horns for the full soul band effect. They kept if up for more than two hours, with the singers coming down into the crowd at the end to get people singing along and dancing. Fabulous evening and a great discovery."

"I wanted a swing/jazz band for my wedding, and oh boy, did they deliver! They were swinging, and lively; their repertoire was quite expansive. They reached out to ask if I had any specific songs and then added additional pieces that suited the style I wanted. We contracted them for both the ceremony and the reception, we had a 3 piece band for the ceremony (piano, bass, and sax) They showed up early and set up with no extra help needed, played some gentle jazz music until the ceremony began, and even added in a drummer for no extra charge. I flip-flopped on the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to until almost the very last moment, and they were incredibly understanding and flexible. For the ceremony, we requested a 7 piece band so it could be boisterous and fun. There was almost no time that the dance floor was empty from the moment they began playing, even though the music they played was a sort of old-school jazz that few people know how to properly dance to. They played so well and brought such an element of joy and fun, that all our guests felt comfortable enough to dance all night. We learned how to swing dance for our first dance (Louis Armstrong, 'Bout Time), and the band played it to perfection (even if we didn't dance it perfectly LOL). This moment is one I will treasure forever, it was exactly as I had wanted it to be. For the rest of the night, they played off a setlist of a few songs I gave them and filled in the rest with their own recommendations. The singer has the most beautiful voice, all the band members play perfectly, I felt like I was in a 1920s jazz bar which was exactly what I had wanted. We had guests approach us all throughout the night, and even now to ask who the band was and to congratulate us on such a fun event. If you want a band that can swing, rock, and any other musical verb you like, this is the band you want. They were so communicative, helpful, and perfectly able to understand my vision. To the Orignal Moonlighters: thank you for making my wedding as special as it was."

"We have had the delight of working with The Ambrassadors on two occasions and on both occasions, they have provided us with first class entertainment. They have the perfect music for a variety of occasions. Thanks to the guys for bringing so much to our hospitality and events and we can't wait to work with them again!"

"We booked Big Smoke Brass for our wedding reception entertainment, and oh my word did they live up to our expectations! They got our guests on the dance floor, and the vibe in the room was amazing, all because of them! We knew they would be brilliant, but when we requested 'Let It Go' as our first dance so that our daughter could enjoy it, we did wonder if they would say no. We should never have worried, they embraced every request of ours and made our evening absolutely brilliant. I cannot recommend them enough, we will definitely book them again for our next party. 5* isn't enough, a million would be closer to what they delivered for us. So, so happy with everything they did. Thank you so much! X"

"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
