Brendan is supported by Ewan on bass and backing vocals, Edu on drums and backing vocals, and Tom on banjo, fiddle and mandolin - because apparently, one instrument just wasn’t enough for Tom! Collectively the band have studied Songwriting and Popular Music at the British Institute for Modern Music, studied violin at Trinity College of Music, and ethnomusicology at the School of Oriental and African Studies. All band members have been heavily influenced in music by their parents who encouraged their passion for music from very young ages. Some of their musical achievements include performing with or supporting Florence Welsh, Jude Law, Muse, Mary J Blige, One Direction, Swedish House Mafia, Fish (of Marillion), Emeli Sande, David Gray, Madness, Alice Merton and several Spanish blues bands such as Bob Margolin, Kenny "Blues Boy" Wayne and Barrelhouse Chuck. A few other stripes on their uniforms are garnered from other avenues such as having sync deals with Italian TV stations, having over 1.6 million views on one of their youtube channels, being on the soundtrack of a Spanish Netflix show, as well as The Crown, having performed and filmed live for HBO’s Third Day show, and having been musical directors at the Royal Central School of Music and Drama and for Soulful Emma Louise (of Soul II Soul). 

Brendan takes front and centre stage as he sings and strums the band's 100 song repertoire. The repertoire is largely pop, folk and rock, however also includes pop-rock, soul, classic rock, folk-rock, acoustic rock, soft rock, glam rock, alternative, indie, alternative rock, country pop, and Celtic. 

Magnolia Sky welcomes you to tailor the setlist for your big event. For a standard 2x60 mins or 3x40mins performance you can select up to 32 songs from the band’s 100 song repertoire, and the band will endeavour to accommodate all of your requests, given a month’s notice. For short notice bookings, you are still very welcome to send over your suggestions, and as always, the band will do their utmost to accommodate as many requests as possible. Magnolia Sky is also very happy to learn an ‘off the menu’ song request for you, for example, a first dance or your favourite song. 

Upon booking, you will have a dedicated band manager as your point of contact to ensure the band is 100% on the same page as you well in advance of your event. Having this point of contact means you can count on excellent, fast, friendly, and warm communication at all times. It also means that come the big day every single crease will be ironed out and it will mean smooth sailing for both client and band alike. 

All in all, Magnolia Sky is a very friendly and flexible bunch and they take great pride in providing excellent musicianship and creating a really fun atmosphere wherever they go. The band has a big long list of songs spanning different genres and decades for you to pick from and can play complimentary playlist music (which you are welcome to tailor) before, in-between, and after live sets until curfew. The band can be on-site for up to 7 hours, or until midnight as standard. They are happy to accommodate early arrivals before 5pm and late stays after midnight if needed too. The band is also able to provide a band member DJ-ing should you wish to have a live DJ before, between, or after band sets. The band brings a full PA and lighting rig with them wherever they go, so all you need to do is book the band and you can tick the entertainment off your to-do list in one fell swoop because Magnolia Sky will have you covered. 

If you've any questions about the band and what they offer please don't hesitate, we’ll be more than happy to help.
