Bands for hire in London – FAQs

How much does it cost to hire a band in London?

The cost depends on the size of the band, performance length, date and travel requirements. Smaller acoustic acts generally cost less than larger party bands. Tell us a little about your event and we can recommend suitable options for your budget.

Do your bands provide their own sound equipment?

Most of our bands provide the PA and equipment required for their performance. Requirements vary between acts and venues, so we’ll confirm what is included and liaise with you over any venue-specific sound, access or set-up requirements.

How far in advance should I book a band?

Popular bands and peak dates can book well in advance, particularly summer Saturdays and dates around Christmas. Booking early gives you the widest choice, although it’s always worth contacting us for last-minute availability.

Can you provide bands for different types of events in London?

Yes. We provide live bands for weddings, private parties, corporate events, awards dinners and other celebrations. We can recommend anything from relaxed acoustic music to a full party band depending on your venue and plans.
