Staffordshire is conveniently located between the thriving music scenes of Birmingham and Manchester, putting some of the UK's best party bands and musicians within a short drive of your event.

Our Staffordshire bands typically perform 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 availble.
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.

This page is dedicated to party bands, but you can also hire musicians in Staffordshire to perform during the earlier part of your day, not just at your evening reception.
For a wedding ceremony, you could hire one of our local 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!
All of our local 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.
