A couple of weeks ago we headlined the Ice House Jazz Stage up in Belladrum – the largest music festival in Scotland where the likes of  Paloma Faith, Amy McDonald & Fun Loving’ Criminals headlined the main stages. We went down a storm, with the crowd screaming for more.  here’s a small clip of out last tune – the Avril Lavigne hit SK8R Boi given an MVDB makeover with a dose of “Hey Mickey”!

Following on from Belladrum, we’ve got a few high profile gigs coming up on the back of our performance there – we can’t disclose detail of these due to respecting the privacy of our client, but suffice to say, we’re very happy! 

Just to close off, we’ve just signed a deal with the fantastic Coast agency to represent us, our profile will be live soon along with some new photography and perhaps a new video or two, so keep your eyes peeled!

All the best from team MVDB. 

(P.S. here’s some pictures from our Belladrum trip)

Debut gig

Well – we had our first gig on Sunday 13th August at the renowned jazz club hosted by Whighams wine Cellars. What a night! 2 x 45 minute sets followed with a short set by the lovely Andrea Carlson and then the band finished off with a few numbers whoops of appreciation and roars of ‘ENCORE’!!

Have a check on our Facebook page for some Facebook live videos that were shot on the night.
