The Mini Big Band in Athens.

Posted on December 28, 2023 by Chris Hibbard

It was a pleasure to finish our busy Christmas run with a trip out to Athens for a very special Christmas party. Some amazing photos to follow.

Our clients looked after us all so well, making it a very special trip for us after a very busy period. It was great to work with an amazing sound and AV team in Athens, supplied by the guys at Tempo Events – Greece. What a team!

We heard swing music everywhere we went in Athens, and caught an amazing jazz night in central Athens on our rest day. The appreciation for great jazz music is strong in Greece and we hope to be out there again soon putting on a great show.

On to NYE next for us at the amazing Bibis Restaurant, Leeds (slightly closer to home). 2 sold out shows! We’ll be bringing in the bells with style.

Rebecca and Ian’s Beautiful wedding at Hedsor House.

It was great to be back at Hedsor house recently. A stunning venue, especially so at Christmas. The ballroom is the perfect setting for some vintage swing and sharp suits.

Hannah Bradshaw – Combermere Abbey

Posted on November 6, 2023 by Chris Hibbard

Literally cannot recommend this band enough! They were absolutely brilliant at our wedding (the videos don’t do them justice!) and the range of songs was fab! So many guests at our wedding commented about how good they were and everyone was on the dancefloor, irrespective of how much they thought they liked Big Band music. From an admin point of view, Chris was really helpful and responsive and it was a really easy process. I would 100% recommend anyone else to book them for any event you are planning

Hi Chris,

I just wanted to send a quick message to say a huge thank you to you and the guys. We got a huge amount of compliments about how good the band were! I was probably more of a appreciative listener than dancer most of the evening but it sounded huge!

Thank you so much,

Dave

Hi Chris!

As you can imagine, today has been a day of rest😂 but I wanted to email you before the day was out.

We just wanted to say thank you so much for yesterday. As you know, we booked you before we even knew the date or the venue. I wasn’t even sure we’d be able to find anything like a big band for the wedding and it was actually Rhiannon that managed to find you on a Google search. I’m so very glad she did.

Whilst the videos you post are incredible, they still don’t do you all enough justice for how fantastic it is to be able to hear you in person. The sound of just 10 musicians is immense! It was great to be able to have our first dance played you guys, even if we ourselves wobbled through it a little bit!

You were all the highlight of our day (apart from the ceremony of course 😉) and I’m sure you were for many of our other guests. I can’t think of any better way of rounding off an already perfect day. Please pass on our thanks to all of your team.

I think we might have to keep an eye on when you’re playing in the Italian in Leeds to be able to see you at a more public function.

Thank you so much again,

Chris (and Rhiannon)
