Lesley hired Hereford Fanfare Trumpets for a Wedding (available in Gloucester)
"Backstage Brass recently played at my daughters 30th Birthday Party and they were brilliant! A while before the event they sent us a list of songs on their repertoire for me to choose a selection from and I was really impressed by the range of options. They even got in touch closer to the time to say some newer songs (like Olivia Dean) had been added and whether I'd like to include them. We opted for the option to have a DJ also and the whole thing couldn't have been more seamless. All of my request sent in advance were taken into account and also on-the-night adaptations to fit the vibe of the party at different stages of the night. We particularly enjoyed when the band ventured out into the dancefloor as part of their 'roaming' set. They're very talented musicians and I cannot recommend the band enough - the perfect addition to your party or special occasion!"
