A Yorkshire Home blog feature.

It was fantastic to be a part of this amazing wedding last year and reading this blog http://www.ayorkshirehome.com/lifestyle/how-to-plan-a-wedding-in-3-months/ about the day, we had no idea it was all planned in 3 months!  Amazing work.

It was also really special to be asked to play for Heathers sisters wedding also, a few months later.

 

Good look with the house work Heather and Paul.

The Love Heart Ball – Leeds, February 2016.

Hi Chris. The Mini Big Band were the PERFECT choice for our event and for the venue. The band were superb, we had great feedback from
our guests and would no hesitations in booking you again or recommending to others.
The Children’s Heart Foundation are having their 30 year anniversary shortly and are thinking that an Aspire/Mini Big Band combo will be a winner!
By the way, I miscalculated the amount raised for the Childrens Heart Surgery Fund – it was actually £31k !
Please pass on our thanks to all of the boys.
