Frequently asked questions

Do brass / oompah / marching bands charge customers for the London Congestion Charge

If the event venue is located within the London Congestion Charge zone, it's important to clarify with your chosen act how they handle this fee. Some brass / oompah / marching bands may include it in their price, while others may add it to their travel expenses. The charge is currently £15. Similarly, any car parking fees should also be discussed beforehand to avoid any misunderstandings.

How long do brass / oompah / marching bands in London usually perform for?

Each event is different but the typical performance time for brass / oompah / marching bands in London is 2 x 45 minutes sets within a 2 hours period.

Often, breaks can be negotiated but you should be aware that the price may increase if the musicians need to be onsite for a longer period of time.

Do brass / oompah / marching bands in London perform outdoors?

You should always check whether or not your act is prepared to play outdoors. Weather conditions such as wind, rain, or extreme temperatures can affect the performance and the instruments. If you are planning an outdoor event you should be prepared to offer a flat surface for performers as well as a cover in case of unexpected rain.

How far in advance do we need to book your services?

Booking brass / oompah / marching bands in London as early as possible increases the chance of securing their availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many acts also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Will the act provide all the necessary equipment?

Most brass / oompah / marching bands in London are self-contained and provide their own equipment which is suitable for typical situations. Even though the act generally plays acoustically, if your event is to be held in a large venue, or you have more than 300 guests, we recommend that additional sound equipment should be used. Always ask your musicians about their sound system requirements.

What’s the best brass band in London

There are hundreds of brass bands, marching bands and oompah bands in and around London. And frankly, it isn’t for us to say who the best one is! You can see from the reviews on this page which are proving the biggest hits with their customers. But ultimately, the best brass band in London comes down to your personal preference for music, the type of event you’re hosting and the sort of vibe you want. London’s brass band scene is bustling, from traditional 28 piece marching bands playing classic brass music to oompah bands and alternative brass based groups putting a brassy spin on chart hits.

What sort of venue is suitable for a brass band in London?

If you’re holding your wedding, event or function in London then you’re spoiled for choice on the venue front. The capital boasts everything from tiny, intimate gathering spaces through to function rooms and suites that hold thousands! The biggest thing to consider in terms of a venue for a brass band is space. If you’re hosting a full British brass band with over 20 players, they’ll need more than a corner of a pub function room! On the other hand, an upbeat oompah band with just a few members might work better in a smaller space.

Brass and oompah bands travelling to London

Check whether or not your venue is affected by the London Low Emission Zone and just be prepared for any band to add any associated costs onto a quote. London is incredibly accessible by public transport but driving and parking can be problematic with busy roads and limited parking in some areas. Check with your venue about parking in advance.
