Big Button Boys
Act fee £1000 - £1395
Speak Easy, Play Hard. Vintage reprobates and genre alchemists, the BBBs fire heady concoctions of punk, pop, rock and swing, steaming into the 21st century. Lord Acton and his band of virtuosos take the popular songs of today, and dress them up in the snazzy rags of the jazz era. Mötorhead, Beyoncé, Swift and Sheeran, injected with a hefty dose of swing and savoir faire. From Glastonbury to the Palace of Westminster, they’ve set the stage on fire with boundless energy and brazen bon humour. From pub gigs to arenas, weddings to wakes, the BBBs have done it in style.

Also, just wanted to say thank you to you and rick for helping me with the band. They were awesome! Everyone loved them. And I also wanted to say thank you to the band myself as well. They were so fun and made the evening really memorable. Each song sounded so unique!

Yes both acts were fantastic, perfectly fitted the bill and went down a storm with the delegates. They were all very easy to work with and were very accommodating of the tight timings!

I just wanted to say how great the band were on Saturday. They were so professional, played some great songs and really worked well with the guests. Gemma re: Club Wembley for the FA Cup Final
