This page is dedicated to party bands, but we can also provide musicians during the earlier part of your day, not just at your evening reception.
For a wedding ceremony, you could hire one of our 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 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.
Our bands have performed all across Cambridgeshire and been part of memorable occasions at venues such as Gamlingay Eco Hub, Cherry Hinton Baptist Church Family Centre, Stilton Pavilion, Nene Valley Community Centre, Ross Street Community Centre, Arkenstall Village Centre, Buckden Millennium Centre, Romsey Mill, Longstanton Village Institute, Coton Village Hall, Shelford Rugby Club, Commemoration Hall Huntingdon, Kimbolton Village Hall, March Golf Club, Waterbeach Village Hall, St Wendreda Church Hall, The Beeches and Benwick Village Hall.
