Our North West wedding bands are great for dancing. Our groovy funk and soul bands pump out a great dance-along soundtrack for
any wedding, party or corporate event.
You don’t have to know your tango from your foxtrot to enjoy one of our salsa or Latin bands, and we even have Caribbean steel bands who can teach you how to limbo!
All our bands are fully self-contained with their own PA sound system, microphones, backline amplifiers and instruments. This works really well for most marquee or indoor weddings.
Let us know if you're expecting more than 250 guests, so we can check whether the act’s system is large enough.
Most bands will also bring lighting for both the stage and dancefloor.
Check the act's individual profile for more details and optional add-ons to enhance the show!
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!
Check the act’s profile to see what they can offer and if they can’t do it live, they could just play it through their PA system using Spotify or an mp3 player.
