Born at the Cavern Club in the swinging sixties, Liverpool’s popular

to this day an exciting city filled with talented live performers,
Function Central has selected only the best cover bands in Liverpool for
you to choose from.
If you’re looking for a high-quality Liverpool party band to fill

Typically, our Liverpool party bands perform a mixture of well-known, mainstream rock, pop, soul and Motown music from every era. This is ideal for cross-generation events where clients are looking to please all ages, from grandsons to grandparents.
Line-ups start with budget 3-piece bands with a guitar-oriented sound, playing rock, pop and indie anthems. Larger line-ups tend to add keyboards, brass and extra singers, which increases their sonic palette, and therefore the variety of genres they're able to cover. For this reason, our larger line-ups (5-piece+) tend to cover a broader range of styles including soul, dance and chart music.
Remember to make the most of your booking by considering add-ons when hiring a party band – many of our acts can offer DJ services, cocktail piano or even play you down the aisle. Booking locally helps to keep travel costs to a minimum.
We also have the finest selection of dedicated Beatles tribute bands.
