Louie R booked Brigata Swing for their event
“Despite not speaking a word of Italian, we were happy listening to them all night - to be fair, they really could have kept singing for the entire evening. I've seen them sing a few times now, and my friends are always impressed with just how amazing Hettys' voice is. I've become a big fan and will defo consider hiring them for any events I have. Also, you'll know most of the Italian songs they sing!”
