When you book us you’ll get Tommy on bass, Matt on guitars, Stuart on drums and Dougsie on vocals - just 4 guys committed to having a good time making sure you’re having a good time.

"Brando played for our 40th birthday party and we couldn’t have enjoyed the evening more. They catered for all ages and musical tastes and kept everyone dancing throughout. All of our guests remarked on how good they were, and we will definitely hire them again for any future events."

"Brando were absolutely fantastic, we couldn't have asked for more. Starting late because dinner overran they went through a three hour set without stopping and started to fill the dance floor with young and 'older' alike. A brilliant evening, thank you so much. We would recommend Brando to all and they will be first on our list for the next party!"

"Dear Irving, Phil + brando band,

Tom and I just wanted to say thank you so much for the most amazing day and night. You were honestly EPIC!! I danced so much I now haven’t been able to put shoes on for 2 days (my fault for wearing heels) but you were insane. If it’s helpful for me to share videos for your marketing etc let me know and I will send them.

Once again - thank you so much, and best of luck for everything going forward!!!

Anna and Tom xx

"As usual you guys were complete stars on Saturday and really made a fantastic day even more special for us all. You were the first part of the wedding that was booked because we knew you were all an essential feature of it. We were trying to work out how may years we have been watching you at Cowes - Laura was still at school! Every time the play list is so varied and the dance floor is packed with happy people. T

"Wow - Brando were just so fantastic and the dance floor was filled with happy guests through out the night. This was the 4th time we have hired them (3 parties and this time a wedding) and they are always consistently fun, engaging and they have an almost unlimited play list. The musical choices are often governed by the guests and so you are guaranteed a successful event. In organising the wedding Brando were the first part of the event we booked since we knew we could relax after this."

"The band were absolutely superb!!! We had a fantastic day it quite literally couldn’t have gone any better everything was perfect! Then your band came on and just stole the show! In the evening we had about 170 people in total, how the band could go from playing The Eagles Take it Easy to Miley Cyrus Flowers just incredible! Then to finish the evening with the best live version of Desperado I’ve ever heard just amazing! Everyone has been messaging us saying how superb they were! Definitely have you guys back!

"There are honestly not enough words to explain how amazing Brando are. Live music was always a priority for us right from the start of wedding planning and we could not be happier that we booked Brando. They are INCREDIBLE!!! We first booked them back in 2019 for our 2020 wedding that then had to be postponed not once but twice. Irving was a complete pleasure to work with during this really stressful time, being patient and understanding with great communication. When the day finally arrived, we were utterly blown away by the guys - they made holding out an extra two years for the wedding we had dreamed off completely worthwhile. We had the five piece, but honestly you would have thought there were 10 of them in the room, with the amazing sound they produced. We sent quite a few song requests in advance and they pulled them all off brilliantly, with loads of other great choices thrown in. Our guests (and us) never wanted them to end - I barely left the dance floor all night and could have carried on dancing til dawn. Phil also provided a solo daytime set for us during our drinks reception which was fantastic - it was a bit wet and drizzly but he brought a gazebo and cracked on, and was so good that our guests were dancing literally in the rain. We're already planning an anniversary party for the future, just so we have a reason to book Brando again. Thanks for everything guys!"

"Brando really made our wedding, they were flexible with the timings which changed on the day, were very professional, and set up in a very unobtrusive way.

The music itself was spectacular, the dance floor was packed throughout the whole night, they read the crowd perfectly and kept the party going. Couldn’t have asked for a better band, amazing that they can take requests beforehand and on the night and play them.

Three of the band also arrived early to provide acoustic music for the drinks reception and were playing when we arrived, which set the tone nicely for this part of the day.

They also provided an excellent microphone PA system with technical support for the speeches, and even put on a bit of background music for us while we were eating our meal.

Hire a band and Irving were a pleasure to correspond with beforehand, and we managed to organise everything despite date changes and forever changing covid restrictions

"Wow, what a band!!! We hired Brando to play at our intimate wedding venue and they were truly amazing! A lovely group of guys and very professional yet they kept their laid back style. The sound man was great at ensuring that the music level was at the correct level for all of our guests and the venue. They set up without any fuss and even cornered themselves into the fireplace area in order to give our guests as much dancing space as possible- and didn't we need it! With an already fantastic set list, they were so talented that they were able to play any song requested too. Bando were recommended to us by friends and family and my husband and I would certainly recommend Brando to anyone looking for a fantastic band for any event. Thanks so much guys, you took our wedding from wonderful to spectacular!!"

"It's really simple - book Brando and all of your friends will tell you they're the best band they have ever seen. We have booked them half a dozen times for private parties and they get better each party - something you wouldn't believe possible if you've seen them. The secret is their enthusiasm - they party as hard as you do, and don't believe in curfews....you'll never regret booking them."

"'Brando are a brilliant band who I have now seen a couple of times. Not only are they massively talented musicians but it's so apparent that they love what they do and really put a lot of effort into their performances. It seems really important to them that everyone had a good time and they're brilliant at interacting with the audience, witty, funny and very approachable. They performed at a close friends wedding and were just fabulous, they really played an important part on a very special day. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a band for any event.'"

"You simply couldn't ask for a better band! These guys are s serious cut above the average wedding band. Genuinely, they should be famous! They literally made our day....the crowd practically tore the venue down they were having such a good time. Can play anything and make even the golden oldies sound modern enough for the young ones too.
Absolutely amazing, I will definitely be using them again!

"This band was professional but also so much fun!
It was heart-breaking for some of our guests not to have an encore as they enjoyed the evening so much.
The first dance was just unforgettable because you guys played Paolo Nutini to perfection! We also thought you didn't do the Dire Straits badly either. ;) All in all we'd have you playing again tomorrow- great entertainers and a definite highlight of the wedding. Thank you!
