What a wedding. What a venue.

I absolutely love Edinburgh, and Mansfield Traquair more than lived up to the expectations of this incredible city. An absolutely stunning wedding venue, paired with fantastic staff, made it the perfect backdrop for Carly and Reece’s celebration.

From the moment the first dance kicked off at 8pm, the dance floor was completely packed — and it stayed that way right through to midnight. There was absolutely no let-up all night long. Carly and Reece’s guests brought incredible energy and clearly loved their live music, which made it a real pleasure for us to perform.

Weddings like this are exactly why we love what we do — a great crowd, a beautiful venue, and a party that never slows down.

All the very best to you both, and we look forward to being back at Mansfield Traquair again soon. Simply stunning.

It was a real pleasure for us to return to Athens this year to perform our Christmas show. We genuinely love putting this show together — a celebration of classic swinging Christmas repertoire — and the people of Greece clearly have a real appreciation for jazz and authentic big band music.

This particular trip was for a private dinner event, hosted for some of Greece’s finest guests. A stunning location and beautifully considered stage setting provided the perfect backdrop for the vintage glamour of The Mini Big Band’s Christmas show.

As this was a private event, we’re unable to share venue or performance photos on this occasion. However, we do have a few shots of the band and our travels. It was a real pleasure to tour with this group of musicians — not only exceptional players, but also the very best company to travel with. Trips like this give us the chance to fully enjoy the local culture before stepping on stage to perform.

Here’s to next time, Greece — we very much hope to be back.
