Hosen Brass were absolutely fantastic at our wedding, they really got the crowd going with their high energy performance. Communication from Bob was fantastic throughout and they put together a song for us not on our set list. 5*s, would recommend to anyone.

Bob and the gang were great! We were running behind schedule so unfortunately they had to play a shortened set, but the crowd loved them. A great addition to our wedding.

The band was terrific - great players. And Bob was easy to deal with. The audience were not as responsive as we had hoped but that might have been more to do with the layout and the people who attended. One small quibble: the band could perhaps have done a bit more to get people singing along, banging the tables, etc, to stir up the atmosphere. But overall, good stuff!

Hoses Brass performed during the welcome drinks at our wedding. They were a pleasure to deal with during the booking process and the performance went down a treat with our guests - really fun vibes at our laidback pub wedding. Would highly recommend.
