Live on the Lawn presents NQBB
Crosby Hall, Little Crosby, L23 4UA
Saturday 4th July 2026
Live on the Lawn is a new outdoor live music event, proudly partnered with Rathbones, set in the beautiful grounds of Crosby Hall, Little Crosby. Created to bring high-quality live music to a relaxed summer setting, the event offers an atmospheric picnic-style concert experience where guests can bring their own seating, food and drinks, and enjoy an evening of music in a stunning heritage location.
This year, we will be hosting NQBB, The Not Quite Big Band, an award-winning Big band powerhouse led by a TEDx-speaking musical director and quickly becoming the UK’s most in-demand and most-followed big band. Made up of some of the country’s most exciting young musicians, they are leading the modern evolution of big band music for today’s audiences.
They pay homage to the legends of swing such as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Ella Fitzgerald, before ramping up the energy and showcasing what popular music sounds like when big band meets the modern day. Expect bold, high-energy reimaginings of artists like Bruno Mars, Stevie Wonder and Beyoncé, all injected with a brassy twist and driven by the infectious power of a blazing live horn section.
Bring your friends, grab some food and drink, and get ready to settle in for a summer night of live music in the stunning grounds of Crosby Hall. Expect big brass, powerhouse vocals, and a full 14-piece big band, delivering a night designed for singing, dancing, and proper summer atmosphere.
