Celtic Manor’s Christmas run is one of the biggest blocks on our calendar, and this year we’re back in the Caernarfon Suite for the Black Tie party nights on Fridays and Saturdays from late November to just before Christmas. We’ve been part of the resort’s festive season since 2015, and the Black Tie nights are the heart of it - a full showband set in front of a room of 650.
What a Black Tie Night Looks Like
The format is the same each night and it works. Guests arrive to a drinks reception, sit down to a three-course dinner across 70-odd tables, then the lights drop and we take the stage. There’s a giant mirror ball over a dancefloor that fills the moment we start, and it stays full to the last song.
We play rolling sets - mashups and medleys running one song into the next, so once the room is up there’s no dead air to lose them in. Every player is on in-ear monitors and we run separate monitor and front-of-house desks, so nothing comes off the stage except the PA mix.
Booking a Table
Tables are sold by Celtic Manor, not by us. Dates, prices and offers are on their page, and last year most nights sold out.

If you book bands for company events, a Black Tie night is a chance to see us play a full room before you hire us.
New Year’s Eve at Celtic Manor
We’re also at the resort for New Year’s Eve this year - the Masquerade Ball NYE. We’ve covered that in its own post, or you can book the Masquerade Ball direct.
The Brotherhood are South Wales’ premier wedding and corporate band, and a regular corporate band in Newport. Get in touch to check our availability for your event.
