“We booked Horn Cocktail for our Christmas lunch at the HAC. Over 850 people loved the roaming welcome by the band playing festive and modern-day hits! They then worked the room brilliantly, playing to all of the tables and providing a brilliant atmosphere for the event. I would certainly recommend them and will be booking them for another event soon!”

“These guys were great not only on the day musically but also with the set up before! They got the right chilled out acoustic sound for a perfect birthday afternoon. I had so many compliments from my guests about the music and how much they enjoyed the atmosphere that these guy created. They rounded off with a calypso and a happy birthday callout. Thank you”
Annabelle-Garden Party
“We booked Horn Cocktail to open on the main stage of Thame Town Music Festival. This involved a flash mob-type opening from the audience area, and they paraded around before mounting the stage to play a great set. This ensured that the festival got going with a bang and everyone was energised by these excellent musicians playing much-loved tunes. It’s also a musical form that is rarely experienced in a festival setting and all the more enjoyable for that.”
Thame Music Festival
“Horn Cocktail are the only high-impact Brass band for events. Super talented and above & beyond in delivering awesome live entertainment.’ His megaphone vocals added another layer to the carnival, getting the whole crowd singing along. Thanks, guys!”

“Horn Cocktail were a well-needed icebreaker for our event as it was made up of 3 different branches who were rather reticent to socialise! The band got amongst everyone and instantly people started dancing and chanting along!”
Animal Health Charity
“The band were AMAZING!! We had so much fun with them. They played at my wedding a few weeks ago and it was so smooth to plan everything with them so on the day it was great, from set up to finish. My friend is getting married next year and asked for the band’s details so if that’s not a sign of how good they were, I don’t know what is! Hope she books them so I see them again! Music sounded great, their interaction with the crowd got everyone involved”
