Most of our Cotswolds wedding bands play a wide range of mainstream pop music from all eras. You can expect to hear floor-filling songs by artists as diverse as Stevie Wonder and The Beatles to Dua Lipa and Lizzo.
Saying that, if you prefer to hear more rock and indie than mainstream pop, we'd recommend choosing a 3 or 4-piece band featuring vocals, guitar, bass and drums.
If soul and Motown is more your bag, then look for larger line-ups featuring keyboards and brass. The exact line-up and song list for each band is listed on their profile pages.

Most bands will be happy to learn and perform your first dance request – provided they think they can arrange it for their line-up and do it justice!
