THE LONDON BANQUETING ENSEMBLE
Professional musicians for all occasions

The London Banqueting Ensemble was formed by Steve Fletcher in 2002 with the aim of providing the best, and most comprehensive musical service available for formal occasions, at a realistic price.

 

Having served fourteen years as a military musician with the band and orchestra of the Royal Artillery, Steve is not only a highly experienced musician, but also has an in depth knowledge of customer requirements for formal occasions. During his time with the Royal Artillery, Steve attained the post of principal trumpet, and on occasions has also deputised as principal cellist.

 

All LBE ensembles are flexible in musical style, though some are naturally suited to certain occasions better than others. If you are not sure which of the LBE musicians will best suit your needs, please call Steve at any reasonable time for advice with no obligation, based on your requirements and budget.
