One of the world’s top party bands, Bogus brothers are exciting, energetic, entertaining and engaging. We are consummate professionals with many years’ experience of bringing a party to any event, from an intimate occasion right up to major festival stages in front of 40,000 people. Courteous and helpful, we understand the lengths you have gone to and the stress you might have been through to organise your event, so we are committed to making sure that we give you and your guests a performance to remember. With a wide variety of styles and genres arranged in our own unique style, we can tailor the show to suit your needs. We have a large repertoire of songs everyone will know (but not every band plays) and can incorporate styles from the Rat Pack (also available as a stand-alone show), through the 60s, 70s and 80s up to present day chart hits. Whatever it takes to turn your corporate event, private party, wedding (we love weddings) or festival into a memorable, fun occasion. With access to state of the art production (and our own DJ if you require one) we can sound check quickly with minimal fuss, reducing the stress before the event even begins. Alternatively, we will be happy to work with the production you provide. Does Size Matter? We have played events to tens of thousands and small events to just 50. There’s no need to worry about size. The Bogus Brothers party band can cater to you, no matter how big or small your party or event is. Travel is also no problem – in recent years we have played across Central Europe as well as in Russia, South Africa, Barbados and Canada – so wherever your event, we’re on our way! Just get in contact and we can discuss your requirements together.

Bogus Brothers' Reviews

"I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say how brilliant you and the rest of the Bogus Brothers were at the Anglian Water WaterAid Midas Touch Ball on Saturday night. Once again you brought the house down and filled the dance floor from start to finish. You are a pleasure to work with and I hope to see you again next year.”

"Saturday night was a very special night for Chatsworth and, as you saw, there were many elements that needed to come together. You played an extremely important part in that and brought the party to a rousing climax and sent our guests home very happy indeed. I cannot thank you all enough. You were simply brilliant. I think you could tell how much everyone enjoyed it - but especially the family. The way you brought them into it all was just perfect. Quite aside from all that, you sounded and looked amazing."
