Photo of Paul Skerritt Music Paul Skerritt Music "Paul Skerritt can work a room with the skill of a Las Vegas entertainer and he had those present in the palm of his hand. He sings, he swings, he ring-a-ding dings. Old Blue Eyes ain't dead - he just lives in the North East of England!" Based in South Shields, England (30 miles from Middlesbrough) Lance Liddle - Bebop Spoken Here Jazz Blog Photo of Mr Swing's Dance Orchestra Mr Swing's Dance Orchestra "We just wanted to drop you a quick message to say thank you so much for being such a fantastic part of our wedding last week! We have lost count of the number of guests who commented on how fantastic you all were, both on the night itself and in messages afterwards. The atmosphere was exactly as we had hoped it would be. We can’t think of a better way that we could have gotten all of the different people from all walks of our lives up and dancing all night! Dexter particularly isn’t much of a dancer so I hope you do take it as the high praise that it is that he was on the dance floor for so much of the evening. We also just wanted to say a massive thank you for being so flexible with the timings and playing later than planned without any issue. Hope the rest of the wedding season continues to be such a success. Thanks so much again." Based in Tadcaster, England (48 miles from Middlesbrough) Helen & Dexter - Wedding - Tyne & Wear Photo of Nightflyers Big Band Nightflyers Big Band "I have seen them play twice at Leeds Jazz Club. They bring so much life to their music! I hope to see them again."

Music for all tastes with a fantastic singer and musician performing with a full light show and great sound. Marty is a true professional and a gentleman, nothing was too much trouble and provided a good DJ service as well."

Fabulous night of entertainment with Old Blue Eyes! ***** 5 Star" Based in Morecambe, England (74 miles from Middlesbrough) Jamie and Lynne - Corporate function Liverpool Photo of The Not Quite Big Band The Not Quite Big Band "Wow wow wow! These guys were absolutely incredible! Words can’t describe! We hired the NQBB for our wedding back in October and we think it was the best wedding decision we made! Will was super through all stages of the process, from enquiries before booking, through to set list selections and sorting out logistics, he was so friendly, with excellent communication and always had time to answer our queries. On the day itself they arrived in plenty of time to set up and you could tell the guests were getting excited for what was to come. It was what we were most looking forward to about the day and it more than exceeded our expectations! What was wonderful was seeing everyone dancing - all the generations. They are such amazing performers and so engaging getting all on the dance floor involved! Our guests are still raving about ‘THE band’ and rightly so! Thank you so much NQBB, you most certainly made the day!" Based in Manchester, England (86 miles from Middlesbrough) Pip J - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

Hiring big bands typically costs between £150 and £2,650+, with an average of £550. The biggest factor in pricing is the number of musicians, as big bands range from around ten players to full ensembles of twenty or more. Performance duration and whether the band includes featured vocalists also affect the cost.

Because of the number of musicians involved, big bands typically need a larger performance area than a standard band. A space of around 8 by 5 metres is common for a full line-up, though this varies. It is worth discussing staging requirements with the band to ensure the venue can accommodate them comfortably.

Hiring big bands is ideal for black-tie dinners, gala events, weddings, corporate parties and ballroom dances. The full, rich sound of a big band creates a sense of occasion and glamour, and is especially effective for events with a swing, jazz or vintage theme.

The big bands in Middlesbrough, England, United Kingdom typically feature between 10 and 20 musicians, including a horn section (trumpets, trombones, saxophones), a rhythm section (drums, bass, piano, guitar) and one or more vocalists. Some big bands on Gig Heaven offer flexible line-ups to suit different venue sizes and budgets.
