So this June we were lucky enough to be requested by Guy Garvey to perform our live band Karaoke show at the Southbank Centre in London as part of the Meltdown festival which Guy was curating this year. What an amazing night! This was kicked off by Guy himself and then opened up to the amazingly talented Southbank audience. No rehearsal, just pure talent, and there was plenty of that around. What an amazing night.
June has been a fantastic month for The Mini Big Band, with so many varied events. From weddings to charity masquerade balls, to festivals and even our amazing Swingaoke (live band karaoke) show as requested by Guy Garvey for his Meltdown festival at London’s Southbank Centre. Here are a few behind the scenes shots…

This is the 4th time we’ve played for Medsoc (medical society for Leeds University) and these guys really know how to party, this night was no exception.
We are very lucky to be the recommended swing band for the ICC and NEC in Birmingham which means we get to play at these fantastic venues on a regular basis. Here’s a few pictures from an event at the ICC in the beautiful hall 4.
Here’s a few pictures from an amazing wedding in the foothills of the North Yorkshire moors, such a beautiful location. This was for Fran and Simons wedding, and what a party it was!
Here’s a few pictures as featured in OK Magazine from an amazing event that The Mini Big Band played for in Manchester. This was a charity ball for a great cause featuring a few of the Norths finest celebs. It was also great to have Ray Quinn singing a few numbers with the band again. A real swing star who put on a great performance. Here’s to next year.
