What live music options can we book?

Function bands play the hits your guests know, usually in two or three sets, and keep the dance floor full. Roaming musicians, such as acoustic trios, strolling strings or a small jazz group, move through the room during drinks and dinner without needing a stage.

Brass and marching bands make a big entrance or lead guests to dinner, oompah bands suit Bavarian and après-ski themes, and brass carol groups suit Christmas. Most bands can mix live sets with a playlist or DJ between sets.

Where it works best

  • Weddings

    A band to fill the dance floor.

  • Summer parties

    Live music on a lawn or terrace.

  • Bavarian and après-ski themes

    An oompah band in full costume.

  • Entrances

    A marching band leading guests in.

  • Christmas parties

    Live hits and brass carols.

  • Drinks receptions

    Roaming acoustic trios.

Frequently asked questions

Do venues around Liverpool have rules for performers?

Many hotels and country houses have rules on ceiling rigging, fire, access times and changing space. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check everything before we confirm.

How much do live bands and roaming musicians cost in Liverpool?

There is no fixed price. Every event is different. Prices depend on the acts, the number of performers, timings, travel and location, so we quote each booking individually. Travel is part of the quote, and Liverpool is 31 miles west of Manchester. Send us your date and venue for free, no-obligation options.

Which postcodes around Liverpool do you cover?

All of L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6, L7, L8, L11, L12, L13, L14, L15, L16, L17, L18, L19, L24, L25, L26, L27, L28, L69, L70, L75 and CH62, including Bebington, Huyton with Roby, Hale, Halton, Knowsley and Bootle, plus the rest of Merseyside and nearby Wallasey, Birkenhead, Maghull and St Helens.

How long do bands play?

Most function bands play two or three sets through the evening. We agree the timings with you.

Do roaming musicians need power?

Usually not. Acoustic and brass groups can play anywhere in the venue.

Can the band play our first dance?

Often, yes, with enough notice. Send us the song and we will check.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can. Friday and Saturday dates in December and the summer months go first, often months ahead. Short notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.

Can the performers match our theme or brand colours?

Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.

Do you work with our venue and event team?

Yes. We agree access, changing space, timings and any venue rules before the day, and work to your run of show.

Still have questions?

Tell us about your event and we'll come back with options.
