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.

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! 🎶❤️

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

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
