Guide to booking party bands in Staffordshire

Why should I hire a party band in Staffordshire for my event?

Whether you're hoping to recreate the pop presence of Robbie Williams or the operatic power of Lucy Crowe - two of Staffordshire's finest musical children - our roster of bands cover an extraordinary range of genres and styles to suit any occasion.

Staffordshire is conveniently located between the thriving music scenes of Birmingham and Manchester, putting some of the UK's best party bands and musicians within a short drive of your event.

We have acts to mark every stage of your special day. From classical quartets for the ceremony, jazz bands fro the evening and DJs or Motown bands for after-dinner dancing.

What style of music do your Staffordshire bands perform?

Our Staffordshire bands typically 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 availble.

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.

Can you provide background musicians for hire in Staffordshire?

This page is dedicated to party bands, but you can also hire musicians in Staffordshire to perform during the earlier part of your day, not just at your evening reception.

For a wedding ceremony, you could hire one of our local 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!

Do we need to provide any equipment for the band?

All of our local 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.

Where do your Staffordshire party bands tend to perform?

Our party bands perform all across Staffordshire and have soundtracked celebrations at local venues such as: Abbots Bromley Village Hall, Brown Edge Village Halls, Rugeley Community Centre, Cheadle Guild Hall, Stowe by Chartley, Penkhull Village Hall, Burton Ritz, Fulford Village Hall, Woodseaves Village Hall, Colton Village Hall, Marchington Village Hall, Newchapel Community Hub, Haregate Community Centre, Leigh Village Hall, Anslow Village Hall, Stafford Rangers Sports and Social Club, Bradley Village Hall and The Boat House at Aston Marina, Offley Hay Village Hall and Hanbury Memorial Hall.

If you're hosting your event at home, that's fine too. Our bands have a huge amount of experience performing in marquees, barns and even living rooms - just let know any ideas you have for celebrating and we'll find the perfect band to fit your occasion.

From the east of the county to the west, we've enlisted talented musicians that can put on the perfect entertainment for your event.

How can we save money on our Staffordshire band?

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.
