The Mike Brown Band - Repertoire

Our typical evening performance would start with a gentle swing and big band set, followed by one or two sets of more up-beat music for those who want to dance and party. Of course, we are happy to arrange the timings and details of the performance around your event and requirements.

We are happy to accept requests for tunes you would particularly like to hear. If notified in advance of the event, we can arrange almost anything you wish. At the event, if we have an arrangement of a requested tune we will endeavour to fit it into the performance. Please note that we do not always have music for requested tunes with us ; if there is something specific you would like, please let us know beforehand. In particular, if you would like a particular tune played as the first dance at a wedding, please let us know as soon as you can.

Typical set lists for the three sets would include a selection of :
