"I have been meaning to message you directly also to thank you. What you produced the night of our wedding was nothing short of magical - and I do not say this lightly. I am very happy to hear the band enjoyed the evening - I think their enjoyment and energy showed through their music. The feedback we have had from guests is overwhelming, particularly that the band and the singer (I don't remember his name) was the best they have ever heard at a wedding. You guys nailed the performance. I am so happy that we decided to do a live version, you could not have gotten the same energy and vibe with just a recording / original version. Your two sets were also perfect. There were a few times that we all stopped in the marquee to listen and appreciate the music, particularly My Way - I remember looking around and quite a few people were singing along! I think another sign of a success of a wedding is the number of people on the dance floor, and there was not an empty space during the second set. The amount of people of all ages dancing was a true highlight for me as we wanted this to be a wedding that everyone would enjoy - not just us. "

"Sunday afternoon brunch with live music, or Saturday night music matters series at Liberty & Plenty distillery. A great demographic of patrons. Indoor and outdoor seating and performance area. Very low pressure environment for musicians. "

"Amazingly unique, memorable performance We had Peter play saxophone at our wedding for our cocktail hour and he did not disappoint! He is an outstanding player and got everyone in the dancing mood as soon as the ceremony ended. He can play any song you request and did an amazing job at creating a classy, fun atmosphere for us and our guests. We would recommend him and The Sidewalk Crusaders to anyone looking for a unique addition to any event, party or wedding!"

"I just wondered if you'd be able to find a way to pass on my huge thanks to all of the band for being so brilliant yesterday at the Royal Docks Family Weekender event. Despite the challenge of not having a stage when they arrived they were all incredible enthusiastic and happy to be flexible and adapt to a walkabout performance that I think possibly worked even better than a static gig might have done. Seeing residents out on their balconies enjoying the music was a real highlight and definitely lifted all of our spirits after a challenging and damp morning"

We're glad we could make it all work depsite the crazy weather conditions. Strolling around the docks and surprising people who were not expecting to come across a live band was fun! Graham

"Big Smoke Brass were absolutely fantastic to deal with throughout the entire process and were happy to listen to our ideas and requests leading up to the event. They are a great bunch of guys who really added to the atmosphere of our Christmas party. I would highly recommend them for any event you're planning! Great fun, thanks guys!"

"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."

"“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.” "

"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"

"The Big Smoke Brass guys certainly know how to put on a show! Familiar and well-loved pop songs played in a way you definitely won’t have heard before. Thoroughly entertaining and never lacking in energy, enthusiasm and swagger. They clearly love playing their instruments and it shows. Dispense with the boring DJ or the covers band you’re thinking of and get them instead. "

"The band was incredible. They were hired to perform during a charity basketball game and everyone loved them. Brandon is very responsive and even accommodated a few special songs that I wanted the band to play. Will definitely be using them at all my events in the future."

"Just FM played us down the aisle at our wedding and then performed for two hours whilst we had antipasti and drinks in Assisi, Umbria. They were an absolute joy from start to finish. The music was fantastic and their interactions with my wife and I and all of our guests was just so wonderful. At one point I looked over and they were playing to and dancing with a big crowd of our guests, at another moment they were serenading my wife and I, and when we were introduced to dinner they played in and around our tables as we danced and took photos with our tables. I cannot tell you how happy just FM made us all and how extra special they made our day. They are truly amazing musicians and charming, dapper gentlemen. Thank you Just FM, we loved it and wish we could go back in time to experience it all again! "

"Angelo, Pablo and the band were amazing. They Made such a happy atmosphere, their performance really set the tone for a joyous and festive reception. They interacted with our guests, were responsive to the dancing. The communication was very easy, even being in completely different parts of the world. You won’t regret adding them to your party! "
