Cumbria bands for hire

Across its majestic countryside, Cumbria houses an extraordinary range of creative talent that pervades our roster of party bands from the county.

Boasting centuries of poets, painters, musicians and performers, our carefully-selected bands are no exception and are primed to provide the perfect musical accompaniment to your event.

From classically trained instrumentalists to stomping brass bands and indie favourites, our team of experts have collated the most experienced party bands in Cumbria to soundtrack your event.

We specialise in Cumbria party bands playing 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 in Cumbria. If you love the sounds of Motown, R&B and big brass sections how about hiring a Cumbria soul band?

For something more original, book a brass band.

If you’re not sure what would work best for your event, get in touch with one of our experts, and we’ll find the perfect entertainment for you.

This page is dedicated to party bands, but we can also provide musicians in Cumbria 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 played all across Cumbria and provided the soundtrack to a range of occasions at venues such as Newbiggin Village Hall, Askham and Helton Village Hall, Ambleside Parish Centre, The Trout Hotel, Silloth Community Hall, Santon Bridge Village Hall, Barrow-in-Furness Army Reserve Centre, Bothel Village Hall, Sedbergh People's Hall, Burton Memorial Hall, Bardsea Malt Kiln Village Hall, Threlkeld Village Hall, Kings Arms Ballroom and Bower Park.

We love to arrange bands for your private events that you're hosting in your own space as well, so let us know any ideas you have for celebrating and we'll find the perfect band to fit your occasion.

Whatever corner of Cumbria you're partying in, we'll find the right musicians and entertainment for your event.

Before you book more musicians for afternoon background music, check whether members of your band can provide this – it'll save you additional costs, such as travel.

If you haven't yet set your event date, consider booking a midweek or winter date to take advantage of the most competitive rates.

Always consider hiring a band from your local area, to save on travel and accommodation costs. We have bands based in most major towns and cities across the UK.
