The Big Bash Band formed in 1997 to bring to life everyone's favourite tunes that were being played in the clubs and disco's around the country. They soon earned a reputation as a fantastic party band and now enjoy appearances throughout the UK for both private and coporate engagements earning themselves the title of "The Ultimate party band" from venues such as Ronnie Scott's.

With superb musicianship and a sensational lead singer, The Big Bash Band is, without doubt, a very special addition to any event requiring a dynamic and energetic performance to fill the dance floor. Two great sets feature the legendary music of the Blues Brothers followed by the band's very own reworkings of classic pop and party songs from the last four decades. With a smattering of audience participation and a non-stop party atmosphere, The Big Bash Band will give you a night to remember and leave an unfoirgettable impression on your guests.

"Very polite friendly people, arrived on time. Well organised for setting up etc. Our guests were dancing from the very first song and the dance floor was full all evening. Great selection of material which appealed to the whole audience. Feedback after the event from our guests has been excellent, everybody loved them. Well done.

1311 Events are a very organised and efficient company to work with. Letters and information arrived promtly detailing everything possible. These were followed up with phone calls from 1311, checking we were happy every step of the way. We were put in touch with the band so we could deal direct with all the little details and we never felt that we were unsure of anything. Thank you"
J. James, wedding

"The band was very friendly, professional and talented. They set up and packed away almost unoticed. They chose a great selection of tracks to perform to the tastes of the audience and their Blues Brothers set was fantastic. A great time was had by all. Highly recommended. As we booked quite late, the service d#from 1311 Events was swift and precise. I will be checking 1311 next time we have requirements for live artists again."
Jim henson Company

"Absolutly brilliant perfromance. We had a lot of very complimentary comments from all of our guests about the band. General feedback: Very good efficient and profesional service. You supplied a great band which is exactly what we wanted."
James Carter

"Dear 1311 Events. I have just returned to the office following my honeymoon and have completed your feedback form this morning. I cannot however, simply just complete the form and have done with it, as I feel that I must give you a little more feedback.

Our wedding day was absolutely amazing, without doubt the best day of our lives. The band played a huge part in this and I really cannot thank them enough for their performance. It is soppy and rather romantic, but as they performed the first of their Blues Brothers set, I looked around, saw a packed dance floor full of smiling faces and I couldn't stop the tears from flowing. I was overwhelmed and so happy.

The band were truly amazing, far better than we could possibly of imagined. I don't know if it is normal, but on our return from honeymoon we had received quite a few thankyou cards, from our guests, thanking us for the superb day that they have had. Everyone we have spoken to since our return has said that without question, ours was the best wedding that they had ever been to, and every single person has mentioned the band. I would like to give you a few of the comments that were mentioned in the thank you cards that we received so here goes. The names will obviously mean nothing to you, but that is besides the point;

"Thank you very much for the most wonderful day...The band were absolutely fantastic and that lady sung her heart out!" Bob & Jane Eden.

"...What a magnificent day we had. I was really surprised to see a band setting up, and was a little sceptical as to why you would have one. How wrong could I be. They were marvellous, one of the best I have ever seen. The Blues Brothers set was truly wonderful and led to one of the best days that I have ever experienced. A real credit to you both..." Neil & Tracey
Evans

"...Thanks again for an amazing day. Lots of love, Jim and Doff. ps What a band...TERRIFIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"...What a magical day, culminating with one of the best live performances I have seen. How on earth you could afford them, I will never know...They must of cost a fortune..." Steven Cooke

"...A quite wonderful day. I have never seen a couple enjoy their wedding day so much. You both looked so happy throughout the day, especially when you realised how good your band were. They were outstanding" Claire Beecham

These are just a selection of the comments that we have received, and I would be delighted if you could forward this e-mail on to the band. They really did contribute enourmously to a most amazing day. I hope they enjoyed playing in front of us, as much as we enjoyed dancing the night away to their music.

Thanks again for you help, and for ensuring that we secured the services of such a superb band."
D & Z Johnstone

"Fantastic!! from start to finish. everyone loved them, we will be booking them again ;@) they were the cherry on the cake! Thanks guys!!! 1311 Events were: very professional, helpful and supportive! Thank you."
