The Happy End (Big Band) was formed in 1983 by Mat Fox in the Bonnington Square area of Vauxhall, South London. The band played it's last official concert in May 2000 for the first Mayoral and London Assembly elections. The group was a 'big band' in format and had a playing membership of 20 people plus a lead singer.

The original vocalist was Sarah-Jane Morris who left in 1989, replaced briefly by actor/singer Denise Black. In 1990, singer Bernadette Keeffe joined permanently and stayed with the band until the last concert in 2000.
