As 2025 draws to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect on what has been an incredible festive season for The Brotherhood. Throughout November and December, we’ve had the privilege of providing live entertainment at some of South Wales’ finest venues.
Black Tie Elegance at Celtic Manor
The highlight of our festive calendar has been performing at the Black Tie Christmas Party nights at Celtic Manor Resort. Taking to the stage in the magnificent Caernarfon Ballroom, we performed to mostly sold-out crowds of up to 650 guests across 70+ tables - all dressed in their finest black tie attire and ready to celebrate the season in style.
The scale of these events is something special. A huge dancefloor, a giant mirror ball catching the lights, and hundreds of people on their feet - the energy in that room was electric. From corporate groups letting their hair down after a busy year, to groups of friends marking the season together, our job was to drive that energy and power the party through the night. And night after night, the crowds delivered.

A Season Across The Celtic Collection
Beyond the Black Tie events, we’ve been busy performing at venues across The Celtic Collection, including:
- Celtic Manor Golf Club - intimate celebrations with stunning views
- The Manor House - elegant private parties in a historic setting
- The Parkgate Hotel, Cardiff - bringing the party to the capital
Each venue brought its own unique atmosphere, but the common thread was always the same - packed dancefloors and guests determined to have a good time!

The Magic of Black Tie
There’s something special about a black tie event. The dress code sets the tone for an evening of elegance, and Celtic Manor’s team always deliver an exceptional experience - from the welcome cocktails to the three-course dinner, fine wines, and of course, the entertainment.
Our setlist for these evenings blended classic party anthems with festive favourites, keeping the dancefloor packed from the moment we hit the stage until the final notes of the evening.
Looking Ahead: New Year’s Eve at ICC Wales
But our festive season isn’t over yet! Tomorrow night, we’re incredibly excited to be part of the ICC Wales New Year’s Eve Extravaganza - one of the biggest New Year’s Eve parties in South Wales.
This spectacular event at ICC Wales promises to be a night like no other. We’ll be joined by our acoustic sister band The Apple Tree Theory, who’ll be setting the mood earlier in the evening with their unique blend of folk and feel-good vibes.
The evening features:
- Cocktail reception with interactive performers
- Gourmet street food market
- Live music from The Apple Tree Theory and The Brotherhood
- Midnight countdown with a live link to London’s fireworks
- DJ until the early hours
We can’t wait to help Newport ring in 2026 in style!
