THE BOND BALL featuring the ‘Musik Express Big Band’

 

In 2004 Musik Express were asked to create a unique themed event for the prestigious ‘Stoke Park Club’.
The theme of this function was to be ‘James Bond’. The bands role was to perform all of the ‘Bond’ themes and songs from as many of the James bond films as possible. Our trademark commitment to musical perfection led us to present our band as a Seventeen piece big band with a ‘Shirley Bassey’ sound alike to sing the famous ‘Bond’ songs that had a female lead vocal such as ‘Goldfinger’ and ‘Diamonds are forever’ and Steve our band leader singing the big male songs such as 'Thunderball' and ‘ From Russia with Love’ etc. The extra large Brass section sounded simply wonderful and from the very first ‘Ba Da, boom Ba Da boom, Ba Da Ba Da Da! the audience were awe struck. They had consumed many ‘dry martinis shaken not stirred’ by then and the dance floor was packed full of men in white dinner jackets dancing around in a ‘Bond like manner’ and ladies ‘shimmering’ around them to the music. By the end of the ‘Bond set’ which lasted 75 minutes! there was a huge ‘roar’ of approval from the audience.

 

During the interval our Disco took over while we reset the stage and prepared to play our ‘normal’ party music as an eight piece band. The night was a great success and has been booked many times over. We firmly believe that we have created a themed event here that outclasses the ‘usual’ by far. ‘Nobody does it better’ than the Musik Express Big Band.

Why not have a ‘Bond Ball’ for your special event?
