We’ve been to some amazing venues this week and played some great shows. Here’s some photos from our event for the RAF chaps at The RAF museum in London for the 100 year celebrations of the RAF. This has to be one of the most Incredible venue’s we’ve been in!  Theres definitely a wow factor when your table is under the wing of a B52 bomber.IMG_3579 IMG_3580 IMG_3582 IMG_3581 14915203_1258516084198671_2689642075382732511_n

Corporate event in Birmingham

We had a great time playing at the Holiday Inn Ballroom in Birmingham where we were able to play our fantastic award Stings/Play ons for the companies award ceremony.  These really do help to liven up and give a touch of Glamour to any awards ceremony.

There’s also a great shot of the professional sound and lights that we use on every event, which enabled us to provide the full event sound for this, including microphones for the presenters and audio for presentations.   IMG_3572 IMG_3573

Christian Ardelys Wedding, London, September 2016.

We were absolutely delighted to have booked the mini big band to play at our wedding reception. The standard was exceptional and the band had provided an extensive repertoire from which we were able to highlight our favoured songs. The band also had recordings of some numbers on sound cloud so that we could learn a first dance to the exact arrangement that they were to play on the night. It couldn’t have been easier – in the end we chose to charleston to “I want to be like you” which was fun and went down extremely well. I liaised with Chris mainly via email, but chatted on the phone nearer to the day so that arrangements could be finalised, nothing was too much trouble and the band was a real highlight. The keyboard player was booked earlier to play the piano during the meal and their set up was efficient.
The band had travelled from Yorkshire to London to play and they might be making the journey down the A1 more frequently as several guests at the wedding have been asking for their contact details, and all thank you letters have commented on their stunning performance, the dance floor was filled all night.
Chris – thank you for a stand out performance.
Christian and Mark
