Need more convincing? Read on to find out why you should hire a band for a party or event.

Thrill your audience with a live band.

A great live band has all the right ingredients to light the fuse on your event, bringing the spark that’ll keep your attendees talking about your get-together well after the lights come up. The rhythms, the tunes, the outfits – soul, funk, Motown, indie, pop, and rock are the perfect kinds of event music to suit every age and every background.

Soul and Funk Band.

The diversity and pizazz of soul, funk and Motown as music genres make them ideal choices for what they bring to events from a musical perspective. With insatiable backing beats punctuated by brass and wood wind, and unforgettable melodies bouncing from song to song, these timeless genres are highly popular among event organisers for good reason.

Add to the event’s aesthetic

When you hire a band for your event or a wedding, you don’t just get the superb music - you also get a boost to your events aesthetic. A live band always looks the part, bringing all the glam, the glitz and the glitter of the genre they are performing on to the stage in style.

Engage your guests or clients.

A live band is compiled of professional and experienced entertainers who will engage your guests or clients from start to finish. They’ll get your attendees off their feet and on the dance floor, keeping them laughing and singing until the last encore.

Create memorable moments.

A DJ running off a laptop and speaker system will never bring the unforgettable spectacle or the magic touches that an organic live band can. The unscripted moments of brilliance, the chance of inspired improvisation, there really is no substitute for a live music act that can follow the energy and nail the mood of the audience.

Add something unique to the event.

Many people haven’t had the pleasure of being entertained by a live, professional band before. Hiring such an act can bring a little piece of magic to your guests and songs that they won’t forget in a hurry. Your event might even spark a new love for a new kind of music, all brought on by your event choices. It’s a win-win decision for everyone.

Collaborative entertainment.

The band will work with you to understand exactly how you want your day or evening to go. They’ll provide all their own equipment, and they’ll take your specifications and requirements into consideration with everything they do. It’s your show and they’re trained to make it as special and as memorable as possible, according to how you want it.

A party band relies on its ability to dazzle and shine professionally. They’ll delve into the immense catalogue of foot-tapping, hand-clapping tunes, and numbers from the greatest eras of their genre.

So for your next event or wedding why not hire a party band and create a magical day
