Will the band members be the same as those I see in the videos?

We strive to make sure the line-up you see is what you get on the night. We do have pre-auditioned ‘dep’ musicians available in case a band member falls ill or is unavailable. As a professional band our reputation means everything so you can be confident that all our players are of a high level.
