"We booked Goldsworth Gerry for a 40th birthday party, and Martin and Stuart were brilliant from start to finish. They arrived on time, set up quickly, and were sound-checked with full lighting, ready to play exactly when promised, even with the challenge of moving gear through to the garden marquee. The set was outstanding – three hours and over 40 songs from their extensive repertoire. They nailed the playlist, shifting the mood from background entertainment to a packed dance floor. Tremendous value for what they deliver. They brought the energy of a top wedding band and gave us a far better party than a DJ could have. Our marquee felt like a proper club. Communication before and during the event was excellent, and they even squeezed in an encore at the end. Great to work with. Highly recommended."

Hi David, Thank you so much for taking the time to put together your very kind and thoughtful review. It is very much appreciated 🙏 We both thoroughly enjoyed playing for you all and it is great to know that everyone had a great time and that you and Caroline were more than happy with the service and entertainment we provided. We hope to work with you again in the future! Best wishes Martin and Stuart

"Danny played at my 40th Birthday Party last weekend. He sent me a huge list of songs to choose from ahead of the party and also said he could do special requests. He had filled the dance floor by the second song and it stayed that way for the rest of the night. He played all of the songs on my list, even the difficult ones! Everyone at my party said how great he was and I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again in future. Thanks so much - you really made the night"

"Just to say thank you very, very much for such a great performance on Saturday night! The band was brilliant and made the evening – everyone raved (and is still raving!) about the music. It really couldn’t have been better and the fact that just about everyone was on the dance floor at one point says it all! Don’t think my 40th could have been more memorable – I had a blast!"

"I just wanted to say a massive thank you for your help in making our night a fantastic celebration, mainly due to your band. The set that you put together for the night was absolutely perfect and it didn’t take long for everyone to get up and dance the night away. An especially big thank you for taking charge of the microphone at the start of the evening and the extra song which you played as we all walked in for the meal. Everyone commented on what a great entrance it was, and it certainly helped to get people settled and talking straight away, rather than having that awkward silence! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your band, in fact I have already been asked for your details from a number of people who attended the party! "

"Thank you Big Smoke Brass for making our wedding so special. We wanted to find a band who did something a bit different, and who could play to a wedding crowd without being too ‘cheesy’. I’m so glad they were able to make our wedding in Wales; they were incredible. From the start, they were flexible about what songs we wanted them to play and were quick to respond - all while being amazing musicians who I’d love to see play all over again. They really judged the mood of the evening and both of their sets were brilliant. Everyone left the evening wanting to know who the band were, how we found them...or wanted to pick up a tuba and start learning. Thank you, thank you! "

"Liz and her band played for our wedding in Halifax, we saw four members perform at a wedding fair and knew we wanted them for our evening reception. We booked the 6 piece band, requesting a few songs which they were happy to do. All our guests had so much fun and we are extremely happy we did not have just the DJ that was booked with the venue. It really broke the evening up nicely and Liz got the crowd going from the second she picked up the microphone. The songs were sent to me a few weeks before so we knew what to expect and we were really happy with he choices. All songs people know from Motown to modern pop. I recommenced the band to anybody who wants a party. Definitely an amazing wedding band. Thank you for making the end our day so special."

"Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for such an amazing time on Friday night at the Trego wedding in Tetbury. Everyone said how much they enjoyed your set. Also, thank you for being so chilled with the Ozzy fella, Brad, 'singing' at the end of the night. Was definitely one of the highlights. Again, thank you all so much. You were fantastic."
