Do I need to book a sound limiter-friendly band?

Sound limiters are increasingly common in venues across the UK, due to tighter council noise restrictions. These devices are designed to cut off power to the band when the noise in a room exceeds a certain volume.

Tripping the power interrupts your entertainment and can even damage the band’s equipment. Most of our function bands can play within the restrictions of a noise limiter set to approximately 95dB or higher. However, if your venue’s limiter is set to lower than this and you’re set on a live band, don't despair – you still have plenty of options!

All bands listed here use electronic drum kits and amp modelling pedals to control their volume while keeping a dynamic sound and your guests on the dancefloor.

If you want a stripped-back sound without having to sacrifice live drums, it's worth browsing our acoustic bands or wandering musicians – these acts should be able to play within the limits of most sound limiters.
