“Rock Ceilidh played at the recent Family Ceilidh I held - they were fantastic! As well as being very talented musicians, they were also very patient and spent time explaining and 'calling' the dancing which encouraged everyone to get up, dance and enjoy themselves.! Fabulous evening!! Thank you once again to the 'Rock Ceilidh Band'!!”

“We booked Liberty for our event. We wanted background music and she worked with us to see what sort of music we wanted to hear. She had a nice setup and sang beautifully for our guests. When asked if she could sing a request she dazzled with a big voice that we hadn’t heard in her set so she can certainly cater to all requirements. I would certainly recommend Liberty for your event.”

“Just incredible!!! Don't have the words to thank Sarah and the band enough! We first came across Nanna Radleys at a rum festival, and it was the most fun night. We then knew we NEEDED them to play at our wedding! Music was such an important part of our wedding, and these guys literally blew us away. They were fantastic in the lead up with communication, seamlessly moved our booking due to a Covid postponement, and then totally SMASHED it on the night. The dance floor was constantly full, and some of our guests said the vocals were so amazing at some points they didn't realise it was live! A huge thank you to Sarah for also meticulously sticking to my set list and requests - we know what we like, and it meant so much that they worked so hard with us to keep the flow. Just honestly the most wonderful wedding band we could have ever asked for. BOOK THEM!!! Thank you so much, Sophie and Tom x”

“The Missing Cat Trio performed at our wedding in Bordeaux, France recently. Mike, Ed and Neil were fantastic – their performances were great and a real highlight of the weekend. With the wedding being abroad, we were concerned about logistics but Mike’s planning and professionalism gave us confidence from day one. Our guests were very impressed with them and they had everyone up dancing. They were really friendly and happy to discuss facilitate our requirements for the weekend. Thanks guys!”

“We hired Mike for our son and daughter in laws wedding celebration on New Year's Eve. From the initial contact to the night of the event, Mike was always easy to contact which meant the evening was really easy to organise. Mike was immaculately turned out and his pipe playing first class. He played a large selection of tunes and to top it all he piped the bride and groom into the main hall which was truly fantastic. Mike stayed on to have photo after photo taken with all the guests. A real gentleman. I would highly recommend Mike to play at any given function. Thanks for making a great night even more special. ”

“If you’ve got this far, and you’re thinking you’d like a singer/performer for your event – then don’t even hesitate!!! Book Will before someone beats you to it and has a far better party than yours!! We had Will at my daughters christening party yesterday and what a star he was! 60+ guests and all of them asking where I had found him as he was just brilliant for us. 4+ hours with an endless song list, performed to perfection, even with the odd curve ball thrown in when the young girls of the party asked for some Justin Beiber! But Will did not flinch and the Bierberettes were left happy! And then just when you thought he couldn’t do more, he went pure acoustic in our dining room for the smaller “after party” that was just a wonderful finish to the day. A true professional from first contact to the last – we were so lucky he was able to say yes to us! Rory Hillary (Christening/garden party) 10/10”

He helped us choose the music and gave us samples of the acts he promoted including his own promo tape, as I had already met him and liked his style we ended up booking him and he did a fantastic job! ”

“Thanks a million for a really stupendous evening when Kiss The Teacher performed for Kenilworth Phab Club's 40th Birthday Celebration on 7 September 2022. We had a wonderful time. Everyone has said what a great evening it was and how much they enjoyed themselves. We were so impressed at the high quality of your presentation, your hard work and how friendly and accommodating you all were. The opportunity to take photos and have pictures with the group made it very special for all our members, Your patience and friendliness after having worked so hard was admirable. It was a fantastic show. One person commented that she had seen other Abba tribute bands that weren't half as good as your group. Also, I would like to thank you for making the booking process so easy and for being so reassuring and patient with all my questions. I couldn't believe how relaxed and straightforward it was. I do hope we can manage to arrange a return visit in the not too distant future. ”

Liven Up Your Event with a Party Band

5.0 (92 reviews)
Party bands are all about creating an energetic atmosphere and getting your guests on their feet. Whether you are organising a wedding, birthday party, corporate event or anniversary, a live band brings music to life in a way that playlists never can. With a repertoire that usually covers everything from classic hits to modern chart-toppers, party bands tailor their sets to suit your crowd and keep the dance floor busy. Booking a professional party band means you get experienced musicians who know how to read the room and adjust their performance as the night unfolds. They bring high-quality sound equipment, handle all the technical details, and make sure the entertainment runs smoothly, so you can focus on enjoying your event. There is a real difference in energy and reliability compared to asking a mate to DJ or relying on a speaker and a playlist. If you want to compare different bands, check their setlists, or see reviews from others, Eventsense makes it easy to find the right fit for your plans.

FAQ

Answers to your questions about Hiring a party band.

The cost of hiring a party band in the UK can vary depending on a number of factors such as the band's experience, the length of the performance, the location of the event, and the size of the band. On average, a professional party band in the UK may cost anywhere from £500 to £5000 or more.


Smaller bands with fewer members may cost less, while larger bands with more members may charge more. The length of the performance can also affect the cost, as longer performances may require more equipment and more time from the musicians. It's important to note that these prices are just estimates and may vary depending on your specific requirements and location. It's best to send an enquiry using Eventsense to get a quote based on your specific event needs. This will give you a better idea of the average cost and help you compare prices to find the best deal.

A party band can play at a variety of venues depending on the type of event and the size of the band. You can hire party bands to play at pubs and bars or at private events such as a wedding or corporate event. Party bands are a popular choice as they can provide music for the entire evening and cater to a variety of tastes.

Live music has a special energy and can engage and excite the crowd in a way that recorded music cannot. A good party band can play a variety of music genres and cater to different tastes, which means they can keep the party going and appeal to everyone in attendance.
