Superb having you again on Saturday. The vibe was fantastic off the back of your performances and as always it definitely added something no-one else really does in the Toon.

I just wanted to drop a line to say how monumentally class Battered Brass were on Saturday.



They really engaged the guests. Getting on speakers, tables, stilts allowed the full floor to get involved. The bar staff won’t stop talking about them and the samba girls say it’s not only the best night they’ve ever worked, it’s the best night they’ve ever had full stop! They were simply sensational!



Furthermore Mitch and the band were really affable, lovely to work with and were fantastic with all of my team.

Battered brass were fantastic! We hired them for a 40th birthday celebration in a big country hall and they totally blew us away. The communication was great and easy to make all the arrangements beforehand and they were really flexible with our needs too. Their repertoire was so fun and kept the audience dancing for the whole time. They performed some great new Orleans style songs that fitted in with us really well.
Two of the drummers performed on stilts when they came back on which everyone enjoyed.
There were 35 of us and everyone is still buzzing from a few weeks ago. I couldn't rate them higher.

Awesome . Occasionally a band comes along and you just know they are going to get lots of bookings.
