With a small performing area available, Bandissimo is delighted to support the Link’s Summer Party with a variety of popular music to lift the spirits and get those feet tapping!

Saturday 27th June 2026 – Hurst Show and Country Fayre
The Hurst Show organisers loved our previous performances as an Oompah band so we’re going to do it again! Dirndls and lederhosen will be the attire of the day and the music will be typical of Oktoberfest – lots of traditional numbers from Austria and Bavaria as well as some popular singalongs! Don’t miss us – we’ll be playing in the Music Tent on Martineau Green from 1.30pm to 2.50pm.

Four times a year, the Age UK team of volunteers put on a magnificent event for their guests, including a scrumptious tea and the opportunity to dance to live music. We are delighted that Bandissimo is their band of choice (and we’re not just saying that because we get treated to a lovely tea too)! It’s an honour to play for these guests who have such a zest for living and such energy – trying to choose the best dancers is quite a challenge. Thanks for inviting us back, Bella – we’re looking forward to it!

Friday 2nd October 2926 – Oktoberfest at Bray Village Hall
The villagers of Bray and their friends certainly know how to celebrate Oktoberfest in style! Following last year’s highly successful event at Bray Village Hall, Oompah! will be donning their traditional Bavarian costumes again to raise the roof with more thigh-slapping music typical of a traditional Oktoberfest. Plenty of beer, food, games, hearty singing and fun are all on the agenda! Dig out your lederhosen and dirndls – it’s an event not to be missed!
