WHAT PEOPLE SAY
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
These guys really are a riot! They bring the party by playing with so much fun and energy, the tunes they played where great, so very danceable, will bring the tent, house wherever you event is. Great communication too, super accommodating. Big fan of the Das, always look out for them at festivals and try to see them when they play. Super talented musicians too, can’t rate them enough!
Co-ordinated with the wedding event host, we didn't have to worry at all. Music was great, everyone loved it and have been talking about it ever since!
It was an absolute pleasure to work with DB from start to finish. After seeing them live at The Jago my brother and I booked them for our 40th party. We had the band and DJ service. After a couple of years of limited going out we really wanted to throw a party that was maximum fun and lots of dancing. DB delivered with bells on. What works really well with DB is that the songs are varied and recognisable but because DB put their on unique take on each track the whole thing works incredibly well as a set. My brother and I intend to book DB for our 50th and would highly recommend them to all.
Great service. Booked quite last minute and they were very accommodating. Really fantastic music and wouldn't hesitate in recommending. Don't be scared about not having a regular four piece band with guitars etc at your wedding, people will dance to a brass band and love it. Everyone at our wedding did and it's great to do something a bit different!!
"Dass Brass were so helpful and flexible before the wedding and truly bent over backwards to help make the day as special as possible, considering we had to re-jig things due to COVID.
They helped make the drinks reception such fun and all of the guests commented on how much fun it was to have a brass band and how good they were."
Das Brass were incredible! They added even more joy to our lovely festival wedding! They were super friendly and all our guests loved listening to live music for the first time the past 2 years! It was a real joy!
Das Brass were brilliant and loads of our guests have been asking for their details since the wedding. They made our first dance special and the rest of the set was awesome.
Excellent work! Polite, considerate and very attentive. You guys were super flexible and really made our day.
I've seen Das Brass perform in a roaming band format at music festivals in the past and they've absolutely wowed me with their creative covers. With the pandemic fading I wanted to bring some real energy to our wedding as all of our friends and family were reunited. Das Brass delivered exactly this, with impressive compliments across the 100+ guests of varyng ages and true excitement about dancing before dinner for the first time at a wedding. I'd recommend this outfit to anyone wanting to bring a modern and fun twist to a wedding or other event. The group even accomodated a unique request which made the day even more special. I wish we could do it all over again!
Das Brass you were immense yesterday. People were honestly obsessed with you guys! Thank you so much. Thanks again, Lizzie & Tom
We were blown away with the band and honestly they made our night. Fantastic set list, so much energy and talent. All guests were complimentary and got everybody dancing. Lovely positive people to deal with and super easy to contact.
I just wanted to say thanks again to you and the band. You sounded fantastic and were a huge part of the evening. Really appreciate the flexibility, which was certainly needed for this one event. All the best Jamie Ryan Producer
Das Brass were one of the highlights of the wedding- all the guests could not stop talking about them on the day and after. They walked us and the wedding party through the park and everyone else in the public was loving it too. The guys were brilliant and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for something a bit different that everyone will love.
Massively impressed with the energy and musical talent these guys have! Brass sections make a band for me so this was such a treat
Thank you to you guys, you were absolutely amazing and everyone loved you! Such a good buzz through-out the whole day, we all really enjoyed it.
Hi Paul & the awesome Das Brass, We just wanted to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding, you guys were amazing and really made the evening. So many people said how great you were and loved our first dance. We’re very grateful for the impromptu practice we did beforehand, that was a real highlight. Thanks Phil & Jo
Hi Paul, Thanks for performing at our wedding on Saturday, we had such a good time. The band was superb and everyone really enjoyed it.
Saw you guys at Glastonbury. Wow! Absolutely smashed it! It may not have been a 10,000 strong audience, but you had everyone with you and everyone dancing. Brilliant! Need some UK dates to come and see you.
Hey! Firstly thank you guys for absolutely SMASHING it, we’ve had so so much good feedback, everyone loved you!! Can’t thank you enough.
Thank you! I Really enjoyed your performance today in Cheltenham! Massive talent!
I just wanted to say a huge and heartfelt thank you, from Matt and I, for coming to play at our wedding. The band were completely outstanding, truly incredible and a perfect party starter for our wonderful day! Our friends and family couldn't get enough of them and were so complimentary - everyone said how much they loved the music! And the first dance arrangement was completely magical. Honestly, the performance was perfect from start to finish.
Das Brass was a blast at the Manchester city Fans zone at Wembley stadium.
I want to also pass on my thanks to the band for Friday, we received some fantastic feedback from members and will definitely be in touch for future events. All the best, Hydie
