Guide to booking party bands in Lancashire

Why should I hire a party band in Lancashire for my event?

From The Verve and Alfie Boe to Take That's Mark Owen, Karima Francis, Little Boots, Rae Morris and Diana Vickers, Lancashire has never been short of creative, musical talent.

Our experts have scoured the current music scene across the county to identify the highest quality performers in every genre that can deliver the musical entertainment your event requires.

From classical instrumentalists to soul singers, indie anthems or global rhythms, we have gathered one of the most diverse rosters in the UK from the party bands in Lancashire.

What style of music do your Lancashire bands perform?

We specialise in party bands playing upbeat rock, pop and soul music from the 50s to the present day – these are the most popular genres for parties, corporate events and weddings.

But if mainstream isn't your thing, we also have Latin, ska, ceilidh and jazz bands. If you love the sounds of Motown, R&B and big brass sections how about hiring a soul band? For something more original, book a brass band.

If you’re not sure what would work best for your event, get in touch with one of our experts, and we’ll find the perfect entertainment for you.

Can you provide background musicians for hire in Lancashire?

This page is dedicated to party bands, but we can also provide musicians during the earlier part of your day, not just at your evening reception.

For a wedding ceremony, you could hire one of our string quartets. For the perfect accompaniment to a cocktail party and drinks receptions, we can provide classical guitarists and pianists.

For a summer garden party or outdoor event, our steel bands and Dixieland jazz bands in are much in-demand!

Do we need to provide any equipment for the band?

All of our bands will come fully equipped for your event, though it's worth getting in touch if you think your event will exceed 250 guests, as extra equipment might then be necessary.

You just need to make sure that the band has a power source to plug in to and a space to perform! We recommend a flat and sheltered stage area of at least 3 x 3 meters for a 3-piece band – then add an extra metre squared per band member that you have booked.

A raised stage is preferable for maximum impact but not essential.

Where do your Lancashire party bands tend to perform?

Our bands have performed all across Lancashire and accompanied celebrations at venues such as Alexandra Barracks, Scorton Village Hall, Fylde Scout Activity Centre, Hope Centre Westhoughton, Wesham Community Centre, Ellel Village Hall, Chipping & District Memorial Hall, Worden Main Hall, Moor Park, Westhead Village Hall, Grimsargh Village Hall, Hoghton Village Hall, John Holt Community Centre, Padiham Town Hall, Uppermill Methodist Centre, Kearsley House and Drunk Buffalo Club.

We love to arrange bands for your private events that you're hosting in your own space as well, so let us know any ideas you have for celebrating and we'll find the perfect band to fit your occasion.

From east of the county to the west, we've enlisted talented musicians that can put on the perfect entertainment for your event.

How can we save money on our Lancashire band?

Before you book more musicians for afternoon background music, check whether members of your band can provide this – it'll save you additional costs, such as travel.

If you haven't yet set your event date, consider booking a midweek or winter date to take advantage of the most competitive rates.

Always consider hiring a band from your local area, to save on travel and accommodation costs. We have bands based in most major towns and cities across the UK.
