MIB have built up an outstanding reputation over the years and continue to hold their status as one of the UKs top bands, not only performing all over the country but also in world-wide destinations such as Dubai, Italy, Brussells, France, South Africa, Romania, Egypt....and Kazakhstan!
The band have an exceptional wealth of knowledge and experience, using top UK session players who play for artists such as The Spice Girls, Take That, Robbie Williams, Lily Allen, Amy Winehouse, James Morrisson, Beyonce, Gloria Gaynor, Jools Holland...to name only a few! This means that when you book MIB you are guaranteed outstanding musicianship, from players who have played all over the world to audiences of up to 100,000 people!
As a band, MIB have been booked to play for clients as prestigious as (to name a few): Coca Cola, Pepsi Max, OK Magazine, Lloyds TSB, Marks and Spencer, Waitrose, HSBC, ABN Ambro, IBN, Boots, KFC, Red Letter Days, Stanley Tools, The Sun newspaper, Mitsibushi, Yamaha, The Daily Mail....
The band pride themselves on playing a hugely diverse range of music, and understand that not everyone wants to hear the same old songs that the majority of function bands play!
While featuring all the classics from the 50s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, the band also include a more modern selection of music from the present day, which means MIB can cater for audiences of any age!
MIB realise that every event is different, therefore can tailor their line-up to suit most sizes of room/audiences/budgets - currently offering:-
- 5 piece band: Female Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Keyboards, Drums
- 6 piece band: As 5piece plus one saxophonist
- 7 piece band: As 5piece plus 2pc brass section
- 9 piece band: As 7piece with an extra male and female vocalist (so three singers in total)
The band ALSO offer the following extra musicians, which can be added to ANY of the above line-ups
- A male vocalist – this is a popular option to add in as an extra! A male vocalist can be added to take the male lead songs, as well as add in harmonies to the female lead-tunes.
- A trumpet player – this works best as an extra to the 6, 7 or 9 piece options, and gives the brass section some extra punch!
- A percussionist – this option is a perfect addition to any of the line-up choices, and gives an exciting dynamic to the entire set.
This means MIB can be booked in full as a 12 piece band! This is not to be missed for high level corporate events and larger weddings!

‘Just wanted to a HUGE thank you to the band for Friday. They were amazing and went down a treat with everyone – I’m not sure the dance floor was ever empty!’
Crystal Edmunds, SFP Group
‘Sera Golding and the MiB Band took our international awards gala dinner to a new level. From the opening Buddha Bar set during the welcome reception to live walk-up music through to a sensational dance act followed by a ‘must-dance’ set by the full band, everyone’s experience was enhanced by our choice of band. Our event attracted 500 guests from 51
countries with representatives of all the top non-alcoholic drinks companies including Coke and Pepsi. We have had dozens of comments about the quality of the whole event and particularly the band. Deciding to add ‘live’ walk up music for the awards presentation itself was a first for us, and the decision proved totally right. The ‘stabs’ ranged from intense to amusing – our Managing Editor walked up to the Mission Impossible theme! – and
caused one of our guests to remark that it was ‘just like the Oscars’... On the sheer entertainment side of things, check out this band. They are awesome.
On the business and event organising side, I have to say that Sera Golding and the MiB Band offer tremendous value for money, backed by the highest levels of professionalism and heaps of clear and concise communication. It was great to run an event where such a key element was not on the worry list. The guys were so up for it and so on top of their game that
several people asked if we it was ‘our usual band’, thinking that we must have worked together before !
All I can say is that we can’t wait to work with this band again.... ‘
Bill Bruce, Beverage Innovation Awards
‘Thank you so much for yesterday…the client was delighted with your performance and it was such a pleasure to work with such a professional band. Not only do you sound amazing and your performance was outstanding but you are all such lovely people to boot! I would like to say a special thanks to the lovely Joe for being so accommodating with all of our sound needs and requests. It really does make a difference having a dedicated sound technician on the event to ensure it runs smoothly.
We hope to get loads of future booking for you.
Sarah Roles, Genie Events
Jewish Events
‘What can we say. Faultless, amazing, professional, exciting. From the moment we met you for coffee last year we knew all was going to be great. You were as excited as Gerald and I as we discussed Amy and Pauls ideas. Of course once we saw you and the team perform at the showcase event we were even more convinced because you could provide all the different kinds of music we were wanting for the wedding. Such a variety, each section adding another twist, each one a talking point.
Sera, when you sang during the ceremony, both Gerald and I had tears in our eyes, your most beautiful voice, unforgettable, one of the highlights of the whole day for us.
Please pass on our thanks to each and every one of the team, and we wish all of you well in the future.
Hopefully, we will see you again sometime’
Gill & Gerald Schneider
‘Dear Sera, Helen and everyone at MIB,
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
We cannot stop talking about the weekend. The text messages, guest book feedback and facebook posts were incredible and keep coming! We also had 58 guests staying over and all of them were very very complimentary and raved about so many different aspects of the wedding.
The one thing everyone kept asking was: where did you find that band?! People raved about the ceremony song and said it made them cry, all said the Quartet were great and that the pianist during dinner really helped to set the mood. Beyond that, the five different sets all received amazing reviews. Particular highlights were the MJ medley, the jewish music (very
well done), the end medley people said was so so different, plus the fantastic Buddha Bar set and Riot sets which people did not want to end!!!
Amy and I remarked to each other that of every penny we spent, the best money spent was on MIB! We stand by that!
The performance was incredible. We were so so pleased. We had such amazing comments and having been to 15 or more weddings in recent years we know we had the best and others also said you were the best. We just had this hunch you were going to be amazing and we were right.’
Paul & Amy Schneider
‘I just wanted to email you to let you know how fantastic I thought you all were on Sunday. From the first time Paul showed me your website, to seeing you perform a sample set many months ago, I knew you guys would be outstanding and you definitely lived up (and surpassed) my expectations. Sera, your solo song 'I've Dreamed Of You' during the ceremony was incredibly moving. The string quartet and the pianist were pure class, all three sets from MIB were perfect and uplifting, Lindsay's Buddha Bar set was amazing and 21st
Century Riot rocked the Langham.
Everyone I spoke to throughout the night commented on the music and how fantastic you all were. There was something for everyone and it was a delight to see the dancefloor full all night long. After months of planning the day flew past so quickly but the memories will last a lifetime. I cannot wait to see the video footage later this summer and I will make sure you receive a copy to use as you see fit.
Thanks for making Paul and Amy's day so memorable.’
David Schneider
‘Thank you MIB for the amazing music & party last night! Our wedding just wouldn’t have been the same without you!’
Cheryl Kirsh
‘Everything you did for our son’s bar mitzvah was just spot on – the playlist was brilliantly thought out to please both his friends, and the rest of our family and friends, and the energy on stage was just electric! We all had such a fantastic evening and this was completely down to you and your fantastic musicians… thank you so much. We’ll be in touch for our daughters wedding next year!’
Nathan Kenton
‘We are just blown away! Thank you so much for making our wedding so special. The Jewish section of the evening was just BRILLIANT – we’ve never seen a band play the traditional Israeli songs with such energy… and thank you so much for putting so much effort into the playlist – it worked perfectly! Much love to you all’
Brian Cohen

Alistair Curry Events
‘Just a quick note to thank Rachael and the band for an excellent job on Saturday evening. Their energy was amazing and they gave a perfect performance, thank you.’
Craig & Gaynor Arnold
‘Saturday went really well. The band were great and the client was delighted – both with the sets the band played and the backing for when Laurie sang! The additional half an hour playing was also really appreciated. Also, during the planning stage, the time that was spent re-assuring and working with Laurie ready for her solo was great.
From our point of view it was lovely to work with such a nice band, very easy going and flexible when timings and plans changed on site. The music was brilliant, the vocalists were amazing too. All in all a resounding success – so thank you very much. Hopefully we will be working with you all again soon.’
Mirage Events
‘I just wanted to let you know how wonderful the band were. Everyone said that the music was great and how much they enjoyed it. Joe was fantastic at getting the volume just right. No complaints! I hope that it was a good evening for them also. They are very good.’
Fiona Short
Annual Balls
‘Absolutely brilliant – everyone loved the band! They kept the dancefloor full all night – can’t ask for more than that! We will definitely book MIB again. A thank you to all for making our ball such a huge success.’
Michelle Foley, Hunt Ball
‘You and your team were absolutely brilliant and I am really impressed that you manage to get the playlist so right that the dance floor is pretty much constantly full. Our thanks to everyone involved and we will definitely be using you again!’
Judy Hersh, Wellington College Ball
‘It was FANTASTIC - the dancefloor was totally packed all night which is a testament to how great the band were. I have been receiving emails and texts all day yesterday and today, each one of which mentioned how great the band were.
Rachael did such an amazing job at keeping everyone dancing madly the entire time. The DJ was also a good addition.
We will definitely use you again next time if you are available, we will probably only have the event every other year (although lots of every year please comments this morning!), and if I can find an excuse for another party in the meantime I will be in touch.
Many thanks again for making the Ball such a magical evening, there were lots of footsore people around West Surrey yesterday morning!’
Barbara Brooks
Festivals
‘Just wanted to say how happy I was with MIB's performance at Newham Under the Stars!
The weather wasn't exactly on our side and this showed in slightly lower audience figures than I would have liked, but those determined concert-goers who came out despite the showers, chilly winds and muddy park thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
I'm sure you could tell from the audience response just how much your performance was appreciated and I hope you enjoyed performing as much as the audience enjoyed watching you. Great music, great vocals and great energy!
Considering that this is a free community event, the production was impressively slick and professional and this was in no small part due to MIB's appearance. Watching video clips back you could quite easily be watching a televised event on the Beeb and I am so proud of it and so pleased that MIB was part of it.’
Haith Ridha, Newham’s Under the Stars Festival
