The Veterans Big Band
"I had the honour of representing our town at a special concert of The Veteran’s Big Band hosted by the Rushden & District Veteran's Group at the Park Road Baptist Church in Rushden on Saturday 18th June.
The Veterans Big Band, started by Band Leader Ron Moonesinghe, which consists of former musicians from the Royal Marines, the Army, and the Royal Air Force bands, delivered an exceptional performance. Their expertise and the rich, full sound of classic band music filled the church, creating and cheery atmosphere mixed with and a little nostalgia too. The band's recent Bronze Award of the Armed Forces Covenant recognises their excellence and the important role they play in our veteran community. Some members of the Band had performed at His Majesty The King’s Coronation and at the funeral of the late Queen Elizabeth.
Such events remind us of the connections and shared values that knit our communities together. They offer a space for reflection on our past and a celebration of our present. I am always inspired by these expressions of community spirit and am grateful for opportunities to attend and support them"

"We were so lucky to have Barley & Rye perform at our wedding. Their performance was flawless, and they created the perfect mix of laid-back acoustic moments and lively singalongs. They were professional, friendly, and clearly love what they do!"

Bandeoke Stars
"The Bandeoke was a huge success, which I knew it would be. The band arrived on time and set up all ready to go. They gave me a list of songs to hand out and we asked people while they were having dinner in the tipi next door to choose their songs via the QR code… which everyone did.
Really great night and have had several requests to do bandeoke again at some point in the future."

Voeux
"We booked Voeux for our Company Awards Evening, held in Windermere, Cumbria, in
September.
Joe contacted us before the event to go over a couple of points, including whether the room had volume limiters, and requested arrival time.
We went over the room they would be performing in, the area they would have for setup, and the time
they had for soundchecks.
Joe was absolutely fantastic to deal with, and the rest of the band were all extremely friendly and engaging
to talk to.
The setlist included bits of everything, which is great when the age range of the guests spans decades. There was something for everyone, and the
band had the team up dancing from the moment they started.
I received many comments from team members, after the event,
commenting on how good the band were, so l would have no hesitation to booking them again, in future."
