It’s not very often that a band gets asked to play two encores! Last Saturday the band played at a 1920’s themed birthday party and just that happened! The party was in Moseley, Birmingham.
The guests looked fantastic in their 1920’s costumes and danced the night away!
Looking forward to performing at Stone Manor Hotel, Kidderminster, and sure the guests will enjoy the music as much as we enjoy playing it!
The 5-piece band has been booked to play our mix of Sinatra, Rat Pack, Michael Bublé and Pop Covers.
