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.

“Just wanted to say how absolutely fantastic you and your band were on Sunday. It really couldn’t have been any better! Even hotel guests who weren’t at the wedding but had taken a sneak peak were asking us for your contact details the next morning. Once again, thank you very much for such amazing entertainment!”

Vlod and Olenka, wedding – London – June 2014

Dear Chris,

what a fantastic day in all senses of the word.

I’m so glad that I booked your band, people are still talking about it today. It made a memorable and special day even better.

The fact that you were able to transpose our Ukrainian music into my key and have it so beautifully played by your pianist was truly fantastic and special and made it seem effortless for us to perform in front of our guests. People though we had rehearsed the song with you before.

All of the band and singer were of the highest caliber, both in musicianship and appearance… very stylish and accomplished performance that got peoples toes tapping and onto the dance floor.

Thank you so much for the effortless and stress free way in which you handled the booking from start to finish. Everything was perfect.

Kind regards

Vlod and Olenka

Euler Hermes testimonial, January 2014

“I wanted to thank you again for the superb performance that you put on for us at our Annual Conference. Not only was the quality of the musicianship outstanding, the flexibility that you displayed really helped our evening go fantastically. Feedback has been that this was the best event that the delegates had seen in recent years and the evening entertainment (you!) scored 9.5 out of 10 on our post conference satisfaction survey! A special mention has to go the walk-up “stings” that you played for our awards evening; this was one of the highlights and I would recommend anyone else having an awards ceremony to take advantage of this enhancement.

In conclusion, thank you again, it was superb evening. We will definitely be using you again in the future and providing recommendations.

Kind Regards

Jeff

Sarah Dryhurst’s wedding, Leeds, December 2013

Being musicians ourselves, and having guests who are also musicians, we were keen to get someone really special for our big day. Chris and the Mini Big Band were just that. Not only was the music and atmosphere incredible, the band were also the epitome of professionalism. The dance floor was packed all night – people said it was one of the best gigs they’d ever been to! Sometimes it can be nerve racking booking someone online having not seen them perform, however don’t be nervous in booking these guys – the Mini Big Band will surpass every expectation you may have. I wouldn’t hesitate before booking them again. Fantastic – thank you so much. Sarah and Tom x
