If you're searching for a really reliable, experienced band, they don't come more experienced than Liverpool band Hudson! They've played at Glastonbury, SXSW and The Royal Albert Hall as well as in Dubai, Australia and South America... the list goes on!

Special offer! Book within 7 days of your enquiry and get a FREE laptop DJ service provided by the band (worth £150). Also: book the band for any date between October - March OR any Mon - Thurs in high season and get a FREE 30 minute afternoon acoustic set *

Fun, friendly and flexible, the band are as suitable for golden oldies who still remember the ark as for kids wanting the latest chart hits. Their repertoire stretches as far back as the birth of rock’n’roll and blues in the 50s, and continues right through to Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars (as well as any special song or first dance you request).

In addition to the seventy-odd weddings the band perform every year, they also play for Bar Mitzvahs, charity events, residencies and functions for big-name corporate clients such as Natwest, H&M, Manchester University, AJ Bell and Dunwoody.

Every band member has featured on at least one Top 40 Singles Chart and appeared on Top 10 albums as session players. They've worked with artists such as Sir Paul McCartney, The Merseybeats, The Searchers, Gerry and The Pacemakers and The Swinging Blue Jeans. They also come recommended by a host of celebrities, including none other than Sir Paul McCartney!

Not only were the lads really easy to deal with, they put on a really great show, knew exactly how to work a diverse audience with a mix of old and new stuff, and above all, got people dancing. Chris, Wedding at Rainford Village Hall in Merseyside, September 2017

The band's most popular line-ups are as a 3-piece, or as a 4-piece with a choice of either keyboards or guitar, and since all the musicians sing backing vocals, you're guaranteed a big sound with either choice! You can also book their acoustic duo for background music during your reception or dinner (please note: additional charges apply for start times earlier than 4pm).

Hudson are one of our most sought-after party and wedding bands in Liverpool, but they’re available UK wide and have performed as far north as Dundee and as far south as Plymouth. Strongly recommended!

“Hudson were incredible. Everyone loved them and everyone danced the night away. Could not have wished for a better band to play at our wedding. They were brilliant to deal with and would highly recommend them. Function Central were also really good to deal with and very fast at responding to emails.”

Maggie & Greg, Wedding, Burythorpe House Hotel in North Yorkshire, September 2019

“Very professional set up. Awesome sound - once we finally figured out how to switch off the noise limiter at the venue! Played a great set of songs that kept the dance floor filled. What more could you want!”

Naomi, 40th birthday party, South West Manchester Cricket Club, September 2019

“Thank you so much, the band were a massive highlight of the night. So many people commented on how good they were. Would always recommend to friends.”

Luke, Wedding, Canon Lewis Hall in Bury, August 2019

“They were absolutely brilliant - thank you so much!”

Mel, Gala Dinner, Liverpool Cathedral, June 2019

“The band were absolutely brilliant. Excellent musicians who had everyone dancing the whole night - really really fun. We chose them because their music tastes were aligned with ours, and they had a cool laid back style which was perfect for our wedding. They were really nice guys and super easy to deal with. They absolutely made the day so can't recommend them enough.”

Andrew, Wedding, Yew Tree Farm in Cumbria, June 2019
