Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about booking a function band for your event.
How far in advance should I book a band?

For popular dates (especially Saturdays in summer), we recommend booking 12-18 months in advance. However, we have a large roster, so it's always worth checking availability even for last-minute events.

Do the bands provide their own equipment?

Yes, all our function bands are fully self-contained. They provide their own professional PA system, stage lighting, and instruments. All equipment is PAT tested and the bands carry Public Liability Insurance.

Can we request specific songs?

Absolutely! Most bands are happy to learn a special request (like a first dance) for free, provided they have enough notice. You can also let them know which songs from their repertoire you'd love to hear.

What happens if a band member is ill?

As a professional management agency, we have a network of top-tier deputy musicians who know the bands' sets inside out. In the rare event of illness, a seamless replacement will step in so your event goes ahead flawlessly.

How do we secure the booking?

Once you're happy with the quote, we issue a secure contract directly between you and the band. A deposit is required to secure the date, with the remaining balance typically due 30 days before the event.
