A raised stage is preferable for maximum impact but our bands are flexible to all kinds of set ups!

Sussex party bands for a lower price or on better terms, we’ll match

many of our acts provide a free DJ service when they’re
not playing.
But the bargain price doesn’t mean you have to compromise on quality; our Sussex cover bands are the most gifted performers in the county, as well as being the most reliable, and are all strictly vetted before being allowed on to our books.
