It is not fully possible for us to guarantee certain band members from our promotional material although we do try to stick to the this line up as much as possible. As you can imagine, with 100’s of shows to do and a 10 piece band it is not always possible to have the same line up on every event due to holidays, sessions, tours and other professional commitments.  We do however only use the best and busiest professional musicians in the busniness which ensures the highest quality for every event.

In between the bands sets they will play appropriate back ground music through there professional sound system and they even have a tried and tested DJ mix that can be used also.

“The MBB Band played for our wedding this summer and were absolutely brilliant. We had a jazz trio playing during the canapes and then the whole band playing the rest of the evening. They were fantastic- great choice of music and performed brilliantly. They were very organised and stayed in touch throughout the build up to the wedding . Very much recommend them, Philippa and Thomas”

booked The MBB Band for their wedding August 2024

“We had The MBB Band play at our wedding reception last August and honestly... they were incredible. We’re still getting compliments from our guests nearly a year later! They kicked off the evening perfectly and instantly created such a brilliant atmosphere, within minutes, they had everyone up dancing (even the ones we never expected to see on the dance floor!). Their set completely set the tone for the night and brought this amazing energy that carried right through to the end. They were also super lovely to deal with in the lead-up — really responsive and professional, but also relaxed and friendly, which made everything easier on the day. If you're thinking about booking them, do it! You won’t regret it. We only wish we had another event big enough to book them again! Amy & Tom x”
