“Thank you SO much for playing at our wedding on Saturday! You by far exceeded expectations and all the guests remarked on how fantastic you were, they just kept coming up and saying “wow this band is so much fun” etc! …To see you when we came round the corner made us realise what a good booking you were and obviously the evening set people just loved with all the singing along.

We couldn’t have asked for anymore and we hope you enjoyed your fish and chips! Thanks again! I wouldn’t hesitate to book you again!”

Herr Lipp
Alias Cliff Wybrow has mastered the art of playing very high notes on the Clarinet without the aid of a safety net. He is the band choreographer and calls all the tunes – but not necessarily in the right order! He leads the singing in the Bavarian Drinking Song and keeps the guests busy with funny things to do.

Fraulein Karoline
Aka Caroline Mitchell is really a virtuoso violinist who just happens to enjoy playing the squeeze box. She is the perfect playing partner for the boys; charming, witty, struggles to finish a half of cider and is a great cook!

Heimi Winklestroker
Alias Paul Shepherd plays the tuba and is the band’s very own bier expert. He can tell a Pils from a Weitzen at ten paces and is always first to sample a brew, then another…. and another….. before recommending one to his colleagues.

Johnny Hornmeister
Aka John Jermy plays the trumpet and tells the best jokes – well, that’s what he thinks! He can produce a Top F with little encouragement and some say he might even be Herb Alpert’s love child!
