Band at wedding

The BBB in Delhi

The BBB have performed at hundreds of weddings in the UK and have recently returned from playing at weddings in Delhi, Calcutta, Indore and Mumbai.

Make your wedding really special with Britain's first Indian style brass band, 9 - 12 musicians playing saxes, trumpets, trombones, snare and bass drums, and featuring the UK's best dhol drummers.

Whether it is to accompany the groom on the baraat, to welcome the bride and guests, or to provide music for dancing, the Bollywood Brass Band gives you something special, with striking costumes and dynamic presentation.

"I just wanted to say a massive thank you and well done to your team for putting on a great performance.  You all definitely got the party started and everyone was commenting how amazing you were!!

I would have no hestitation in recommending you to others."

Kind regards
