Back at Quaglino’s, London.

Posted on November 28, 2016 by Chris Hibbard

It was great to take our swing show back to Quaglino’s earlier this month. One of London’s finest restaurants that’s perfect for the Mini Big Band’s vintage swing style. Great food, amazing cocktails and live music, no wonder the place went crazy!

Corporate event in Birmingham

Posted on October 27, 2016 by Chris Hibbard

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.

Christian Ardelys Wedding, London, September 2016.

Posted on October 6, 2016 by Chris Hibbard

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.
