The ages of our guests will vary considerably. Can your band play all types of music?

 

The versatility and quality of musicianship in our band is such that our musicians can authentically perform a wide variety of music ranging from Strauss Waltzes to today’s Top 40 dance music. Our song list is very extensive and includes music from every era.

 

 

How long do Brass & Co. play for and how many breaks does the band take during the night?

Brass & Co. will perform music which is especially suited for your event. Also, as the party progresses, we are always amenable to altering the volume at your request.

 

 

Will the band learn a special song?

 

If you provide at least 4 weeks notice, and a CD or MP3 (and/or sheet music if you wish) of your song, we will endeavour to learn and perform your special song to your satisfaction.

 

 

Can I decide what type of music will be played during my event?
