Here’s a few photos of the Mini Big Band getting ready to swing for Tropic Skin Cares “Glammies” awards, 2015.
we had a great time entertaining the 600+ guests but also taking part in the awards by playing short stings of music as people came up to collect their awards! which added a real touch of class to the event.
we even had to prepare a special play on for Lord Sugar. Our swinging version of Mary Poppin’s Spoonful of sugar seemed to go down a treat.

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.
We had a great time performing for the South Yorkshire branch of the Electrical Contractors Association this weekend. Here’s a few photos from the sound check and of the beautiful ballroom, which almost seemed as though it was made for big band swing music. Please also see the great review on our testimonials page.

from Victoria and Toms fantastic wedding near Scunthorpe. This was a great marquee set up in which the stage and the dance area looked fantastic. What a great party.
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).
Not a drop of tea was spilt.
Here’s a couple of photos of the Mini Big Bands stage set for Ivy-Elisa and Dans wedding at Plaish Park Farm in Shropshire. What a fantastic venue in the middle of the most amazing countryside. Perfect for some summer swing band music.
Le Mini Big Band have made our own little tour from Yorkshire down to London today (not by bike!!) to play for an event on the Thames, watching the race come to a climax in London. What a great day, shame we couldn’t bring some Yorkshire sunshine with us. — at Hqs Wellington.
