The Not Quite Big Band

The Not Quite Big band, more fondly known as The NQBB, is a groundbreaking, 15-piece, Manchester-based big band composed of some of the UK’s most experienced, talented musicians. The NQBB have quickly risen in popularity across the entertainment industry, due to their unique experience provided by no one else on the market. The Not Quite Big Band’s youthful approach reinvents the classic ‘Rat Pack’ show by incorporating decade-spanning hits from the likes of Prince, Elvis and Queen. Whilst audiences can still expect to hear the crooning tune of ‘My Way’ and ‘Come Fly With Me’, they can also expect to be swept off their feet to ‘Crazy Little Thing Called Love’ and ‘Jailhouse Rock’. As crowds are taken on a progressive journey through the century, they are reminded that there is nothing quite as spectacular as a dazzling 10 piece horn section, harmoniously accompanying a world class vocalist and rhythm section. Whether performing ‘New York, New York’ or ‘Purple Rain’, The NQBB never fails to amaze crowds of any age with their incomparable show. With musicians that have performed at Glastonbury, The Royal Albert Hall, for TV & film and alongside some of the industry’s biggest names such as Elton John and Paul Heaton, the collective experience across the entire band has made The NQBB one of the most sought after big bands in the UK.
