Ready to swing in Liverpool for Queenies Christmas.

We had a great night last night playing for The Queenies Christmas Ball, organised by Herbert from Herbert’s of Liverpool. The
Audience were great and it was great for us to dust of our Christmas numbers too. We also had the pleasure of backing Ray Quinn and Claire Sweeney as well as a special surprise performance by Herbert himself. What a night.image image

ECA dinner dance, Sheffield.

What a fantastic performance!  We have never managed to keep so many people in the ballroom for so long in the twenty six years that I have been involved in the event.  Everyone was blown away by your professional performance from each and every member of the band.  The New York New York finale was a pleasure to behold with just about everyone present somehow linked up in a circle on the dance floor kicking their legs higher than they have been kicked in many years!

It has been a pleasure to work with you on this event and professional yet flexible approach help to take a lot of the stress that is associated with such a large event.
I have recieved plaudits from many of the companies who had a table at the evening.  On behalf of everyone at the ECA South Yorkshire branch I would like to thank you and the band for helping to make the occasion a complete success and look forward to seeing you all again very soon.

Getting ready for a swinging Christmas with The Mini Big Band

It’s nearly that time of year again and we’re looking forward to getting our fantastic Christmas charts out for the swinging Christmas version of our show.  Nothing sets up a Christmas party better than the sounds of Classic Christmas tunes, stealing in the Vintage big band sound and style that The Mini Big Band specialise reproducing.

We still have some availability over the Christmas period so if you’re looking for a Swing Band for  your Christmas Party or function please get in touch.

Please also have a listen to some of our great Christmas arrangements on our listen page.

Jason and Victoria, August 2014 – Harrogate.

Hi Chris,

 

We wanted to say thanks for playing at our wedding. The band were amazing and got lots of people up dancing. We found the booking process to be easy and you were flexible in your approach throughout. All our guests commented as to how perfect the band were and how well it fit in with the feeling of the day. We couldn’t recommend you enough.

 

Thanks,

 

Jason & Victoria

Ready to swing at The Old Swan Hotel, Harrogate.

Here’s a couple of behind the scenes pictures of The Mini Big Band getting ready to swing at The Old Swan Hotel in Harrogate. This was our first time here and we’re looking forward to playing there later this month also as it has a fantastic old stage and ballroom set up that is perfect for live music and dancing.  The Mini Big Bands stage set looked absolutely fantastic in this setting. There was also an alter left in the bands dressing room which had an unusual, romantic effect on the boys in the band (See Photos).image image

Thank you so much to the Mini Big Band for their performance at the Citroen Excellence Awards event; the pre event communication was seemless and their performance on the night was exceptional, you even had people up dancing which is a first.

I am sure I will see you again soon!

 

Take care,
