North West bands for hire

The North West is saturated with incredible musical talent and our experts have scoured every city and region for the best party bands for hire in every genre.

Whether you're hosting a drinks reception and need a sophisticated classical soundtrack or fancy letting your hair down to one of our pop, soul, indie or Motown bands, we've got you covered.

From Chester and Carlisle, to Manchester, Liverpool, Lancaster and everywhere in between, we're confident that our vetted, road-tested party bands will be able to bring your musical aspirations for your event to life!

Typically our bands in the North West perform 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. If you love the sounds of Motown, R&B and big brass sections how about hiring a 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 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 the North West, playing at venues including The Squad House, Appleton Parish Hall, The Armoury in Stockport, Manley Village Hall, Morton Hall Community Centre, Maple Lodge Scout and Guide Centre, Wilmslow Conservative Club, West Bank Community Centre, Wrenbury Village Hall, Woodford Community Centre, Festival Hall Cheshire, Dean Row Village Hall and Tarvin Community Centre.

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.

Across the area, we've enlisted talented musicians that can put on the perfect 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.
