Joe and Emily’s wedding, the photos tell the story.

We’ve just received some amazing photos from Joe and Emily’s wedding in Oxfordshire, which was incredibly.

This wedding had everything including a mad whole room live band karaoke competition across the 4 sections of the room, with the winners taking the biggest bottle of champagne that we have ever seen.  This was a great feature with everyone in the room getting completely involved in an attempt to win.  This was also mixed with some classic sing a long hits which made for an incredible atmosphere.  These pictures really do tell a great story of who fun this was for the band and the guests.

Swingaoke with The Mini Big Band

December saw the return of our “Swingaoke” show to the Southbank Centre in London.  This is the second time we’ve taken our live band karaoke show to the Southbank with both occasions being an amazing experience for the chosen singers and audience alike.

This show gives the audience the chance to come up and sing some classic big band swing numbers infront of the amazing live 9 piece band.

Please take a look at this video from the night https://youtu.be/pAEFz1YQcD4, the first singer up and he was amazing!

This was a great way for us to finish off our year.  We are now looking forward to a busy 2017, providing the finest modern swing band show for lots of weddings, corporate events and private parties.  I hope we see you there.

Corporate event in Birmingham

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.   IMG_3572 IMG_3573
