The Big Bolton Ball is an annual corporate event, raising funds for two very important charities: Bolton Hospice and Bolton Lads & Girls Club, who together provide amazing support for those in need in Lancashire. We were very honoured to be asked to be the live band, at the fabulous Macron Stadium, home of Bolton Wanderers, where the event was held. The Premier Suite holds 700 and it was a pleasure to play to so many people, all of which were well up for a dance at the end of a busy night. We were asked to provide a more upbeat set in order to get as many people up dancing as possible, so we featured a mix of songs from Justin Timberlake, Amy Winehouse, Jess Glynne, Stevie Wonder, The Supremes and Bruno Mars.
As always it’s always nice to get feedback from the organiser:
“A massive thanks to you and all the band for another fantastic set on Saturday. We have had great feedback and I will pass on your details to interested parties.”
