Brass Bands for hire in Rotherham
Latest reviews of our Brass Bands in Rotherham
"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!"

"Backstage Brass were AMAZING. They played at the drinks reception at our wedding, and we have heard from so many people that they were an absolute highlight. Their song list is excellent - full of great songs for dancing, and they made sure to get the party started. We loved having them and couldn't imagine having booked someone better. "
Ellie hired Backstage Brass for a Wedding (available in Rotherham)
"Cannot recommend DBB enough! My partner and I hired them to play our wedding (and to do a surprise entrance at that) and, honestly, the highlight of the day! All our guests, young to old, pop to rock, dancer to non-dancer, absolutely loved them and they got everyone up. We've been asked about them constantly ever since the big day. Incredibly professional, polished team with great communication and an immense back catalogue! Guaranteed to liven up ANY event."
