Great venue to have your wedding at if you haven't already chosen!
Men In Blue performed on Friday to 300,000 people in Hyde Park for the Royal Wedding, which has apparently gone down in history as the largest ever UK gig!
We had such a fantastic day.... to be honest, just being able to be there in Hyde Park to watch the wedding was enough... the vibe amongst the crowd was just immense! Being the only band to perform as the 'Wedding band' after the first kiss was just incredible!
MIB apparently been featured in the press all over the world, including USA and Australia.... crazy stuff.
