Party band FAQs
Quick answers for private party bookings.
What types of parties do you cover?
We supply live bands for birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, house parties, private dinners, charity events and more. Tell us the occasion and the vibe and we will recommend the best matches.
How long do party bands usually play for?
Most bookings are built around 2 to 3 live sets across the evening, with breaks in between. Exact timings vary by venue and finish time, and we will help you plan a running order that keeps the energy up.
Can we choose the songs?
You can absolutely influence the direction. Share your favourite artists, must-play tracks and any do-not-plays. We will guide you on what works best live and how to pace the night.
Do you provide music between sets?
Yes. Many bands offer playlist or DJ-style music between sets so there is no awkward silence and the dancefloor stays warm.
Our venue is small. Can we still have a band?
Usually, yes. We can recommend compact line-ups and set-ups that work brilliantly in smaller rooms, pubs and private spaces without overwhelming the venue.
What do you need from the venue?
Most bands need a performance area, standard power, and reasonable access for loading in. If your venue has sound limits or tricky access, we will factor it in and recommend suitable options.
