The Not Quite Big Band isn’t just a band - it’s an experience.

We were born from late-night jam sessions and a shared love of timeless music - and today, we’ve grown into one of the UK’s most exciting live acts. 
With our 17-piece powerhouse lineup, we fuse roaring brass, razor-sharp rhythm, and velvet harmonies into a sound that’s as explosive as it is elegant. Our charisma and chemistry turn every venue into a party, and every audience into part of the show. At certain events, we’re joined by special guest performers - from star vocalists to instrumental virtuosos – bringing fresh energy and unforgettable moments to the stage.
The Band
From Sinatra to Stevie, Ella to Elvis - with surprises from Queen, Bond, and beyond - our genre-defying set lists celebrate the golden age while delivering fresh, dynamic performances for today. 

Every note matters to us, whether it moves you to tears, goosebumps or straight to the dance floor!
