Wedding Band Bristol - South Wales' Brotherhood

Wedding band Bristol - The Brotherhood travel from South Wales across the Severn for Bristol, Cotswolds and South West weddings at Ashton Court, Tortworth, Thornbury Castle and more.

Wedding Band Bristol - From South Wales Across the Severn

Bristol is the closest English city to our South Wales base - twenty minutes from Newport over the old Severn Bridge, half an hour from Cardiff. We work the Bristol and South West wedding circuit alongside venues at home in Wales, and the same band that plays a Friday night in Cardiff is the same band that plays a Saturday in Tortworth or Thornbury.

Bristol and South West wedding venues

The Bristol-area venues we play split between mansion-house venues at the city edges (Ashton Court, Tortworth Court, Thornbury Castle), Cotswold barn venues (Stone Barn, Cripps Barn, The Great Tythe Barn), and the Bath and Somerset estates that overlap with our Bath and Somerset pages.

How a Brotherhood wedding day works

Our usual wedding shape: a chilled first set of around 30 minutes with the first dance and any other formal dances landed inside it, then two 50-minute dancefloor sets blended together in our own style. DJ playlists run in the gaps and after we finish. Ceremony and drinks-reception music handled by our acoustic line-ups if you want full-day coverage.

We bring our own PA and lighting and run in-ears - no floor wedges across the front of the stage, no guitar or bass amps on stage. The 5-piece Brotherhood (vocals, guitar, bass, drums, keys) is the workhorse lineup; the Sisterhood is the female-fronted alternative; the Apple Tree Theory handles the acoustic-folk / reggae brief for couples who want something more relaxed.

Travel from South Wales

From our base in South Wales, Bristol is half an hour from Cardiff over the bridge. Tortworth and Thornbury are roughly the same; the Cotswolds venues add another half-hour up the M5. We travel for the day rather than billing it as out-of-area.
