BRASS MONKEES
We're a lively bunch, bringing an action-packed, fun-filled combination of Soul, R&B, Funk, Motown & Pop.
Perfect for any wedding, corporate event, party, festival or live music venue, we're sure to give you that feel-good factor and pack any dance floor.
With loads of experience across the band, we know how to engage and have fun.
Brass Monkees are self-contained, with a high-quality sound system and lighting to suit any size venue. For a 9-piece band, we can fit into a surprisingly small space if necessary.

Don't just take our word for it
Just to say a big thank you to Chris and the rest of the band!!
We had Brass Monkees roam us back through the woods from our wedding to the reception. A great buzz to start the reception!! Really happy vibes from all our guests during the walk back! And the band were super friendly and chilled playing and chatting to the guests.
Working with Chris on the organisation was super smooth. Steve from the band checked out the route in advance to make sure it would be OK. Gave me great confidence given we were meeting them at a random spot in the woods.
Couldn't be happier we got Brass Monkees to kick the party off!
Thanks again!!
We had the Brass Monkees for our wedding and they were unbelievable! The dancefloor was packed all night. Great music and the roaming band started the day off perfectly! Chris was also very prompt at replying to emails and very accommodating. Amazing!
Absolutely amazing band! They were professional from start to finish and completely made our wedding party. Chris was fantastic and kept in regular communication with us from the moment we booked right up until the night of our wedding, which gave us complete confidence that everything was taken care of. On the night, they were incredible! They kept the dance floor full all night and had everyone up dancing, singing and having the best time. They were so much fun and created the perfect atmosphere for our celebration. So many of our guests commented on how fantastic they were, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better band to play at such a special occasion. We can't recommend them highly enough — if you're looking for an amazing band for your wedding or party, look no further! 🎶❤️
We hired Brass Monkees for our company's anniversary celebrations, they were energetic and excellent !!
BRASS MONKEES! These guys are brilliant. 6th June, wedding in a marquee, half way up a Welsh mountain! Found the venue (not a given!), on time, set-up with no fuss/drama. Just got on with it. And then the 'play', the reading of the room – absolutely brilliant and spot on – the dance floor was pumping with wedding day joy and happiness from first dance to evening's end. Great vocals, vibrant horn section, key board, drums – just brilliant. And the in-between D.J.ing was really good too – the DJ I'd swear is now bi-lingual! I can't recommend them enough! Nailed on atmosphere and vibe! Hire them!
Must book! We had The Brass Monkees at our wedding after seeing them online. They were brilliant, brought the party and our guests have been raving about them since. I found them easy to work with the whole time. They would always suggest options and help with other aspects of the day. From this, we booked a member, Steve, to control backing music and the PA for speeches. Then had them also DJ either side of their set. The best wedding band I've seen and lucky it was at our big day!
Honestly wow. Super energy; everyone hasn't stopped speaking about how fantastic you all were. So much so that another friend has booked them for her wedding next year!!! Thank you guys again – brass 3-piece in the afternoon followed by a full showdown later was absolutely epic. You made our day so so special. If I could give you more stars I would!!!
We had the brass monkees at our day on 24/07/2026 at Shottle Hall Belper. Absolutely electric atmosphere from them what a brilliant night of music a number of our guest say that your music was totally superb. The Dance floor was packed from being to end and all of our guests thought they were the best wedding band they'd ever heard, as did we!! Fantastic group that made it an unforgettable night! Thanks again, Gavin and Heather
Genuinely the best wedding band ever, and we weren't the only ones saying that; all our guests were too. Kept the party going and the dance floor full all evening. An incredible ensemble, beautiful voices and amazing vibes! Book them before somebody else does!
Cant speak more highly of this incredibly talented band. Before our wedding we communicated often and Chris was always on hand to help with any questions. Then on the night these guys TURNED UP! Amazing energy and got the people dancing. Cant wait to see them again in manchester soon. If youre looking for a band that plays great songs, is hassle free and brings the energy then look no further. Thanks Chris and the Brass Monkees

What a night at St Asaph Cathedral! 🎷✨
A couple of weeks ago we had the honour of playing for Hope House Tŷ Gobaith, and after a few more donations later in the night, the total raised came to over £50,000 for the children’s hospice. Absolutely incredible!
Huge thanks to the Hope House team for having us, and to everyone who came along, danced and dug deep for such an amazing cause. Playing in a venue like St Asaph Cathedral was something special. Swipe through for a few moments from the night 📸

What a night at Beach Fest 2026! 🎉
Simon and the whole team put on an incredible festival again this year, genuinely one of our favourite gigs of the year, and we’re so grateful to be asked back. The crowd was singing and dancing all night, pure energy from start to finish. Got to catch N-Trance afterward too, legends. What a night! 🌊🎶

🏴🎺 DENBIGH, UP IN THE WELSH HILLS 🎺🏴
Amazing marquee, amazing setting, and an incredible Welsh crowd who danced all night long, thank you for the perfectly signposted route up the hills too! 😄 The dancefloor was absolutely pumping from start to finish.
And the review said it all:
“Everyone has been banging on about a great day and a fabulous band! Music selection, music ‘play’… wonderful vocals, the horns, the strings, the drums - really, a great mix, a great vibe. That floor was pumping all night long!”
Huge thanks to the happy couple and all the guests, what a night 🙌🥂

What a day! That marquee was absolutely unreal 😍 Roaming brass through the gardens earlier in the day, then the full 9-piece band lit up the dancefloor at night alongside our DJ booth, crowd loving life all night long, even had the bride up on shoulders 🙌🥂 Congratulations Harri & Gilbert, thank you for having us!

A couple of weeks ago we headed down to Oxford for two incredible events – Sam & Alicia’s beautiful wedding and the St Edward’s End of Year Ball. 🎺🎉
What a weekend it was! Two fantastic crowds, packed dance floors, and memories we’ll be talking about for a long time. There’s nothing better than seeing everyone singing, dancing and celebrating together.
When we weren’t performing, we even managed to squeeze in a day exploring the beautiful city of Oxford as a band. Safe to say there were plenty of laughs on and off the stage! 😄
A huge thank you to Sam & Alicia, everyone at St Edward’s, and all those who made us feel so welcome. We can’t wait to be back!

A huge congratulations to Leo & Rebecca on an incredible wedding at the beautiful Cuckney House. What a stunning venue to celebrate such a special day! 💍✨
From the very first song to the final encore, the dance floor was absolutely packed. Friends and family gave it everything all night long, creating the kind of atmosphere every couple dreams of. A proper party from start to finish! 🕺💃
Thank you, Leo & Rebecca, for letting Brass Monkees be part of your unforgettable day. Wishing you both a lifetime of love, laughter, and happiness! ❤️
