Broadband - Party Band Profile

BroadBand was formed by John & Rico to satisfy a demand from clients, Event Organisers and Booking Agents for an utterly reliable, high quality band that could play a general program of music for functions and events, as well as the latest chart hits. BroadBand exclusively play weddings, parties and events; you will not see them at your local pub!

John & Rico met in the early 90s, and have since been involved in many professional musical situations together. Broadband musicians are some of the UKs finest players, having played with artists such as Errol Brown, Ruby Turner, Heather Small, Lily Allen, Jamelia and Morcheeba to name but a few!

For the last 15 years John has been, and is still, the leader of Frisco Crabbe & the Atlantic Frantics, a band that to this day has performed for more than 700,000 people, nationally and internationally. Rico is the leader of Planet Groove and Turn It Loose bands, as well as a highly respected session saxophonist. Between them, they have played pretty much for everybody, everywhere! With John being based in Manchester, and Rico being based in the heart of London, the opportunity to create a band that can truly cover the whole of the UK in an efficient and cost effective way using the best musicians from London and Manchester seemed too good to miss.

Many Frisco Crabbe, Planet Groove and T.I.L.. clients had booked the bands repeatedly and were looking for something a little different, whilst still being able to have the peace of mind that the band they were getting were fully professional, 100% live and vastly experienced;  the same level of service as always from John & Rico. Event Organisers and Booking agents had been asking for this type of band from the guys to satisfy the demand from their clients, knowing that the trust in John & Rico that had been built over many years would be in place immediately.

BroadBand offers John & Rico the opportunity to play great songs, and to do what they do best; keep clients happy and the dance floor full! BroadBand clients also benefit from the fact that there are two of the UK’s most experienced bandleaders in one band, offering a fully flexible, informed and professional service.
