Event Bands in Birmingham

Hire an event band for your company party in Birmingham

Live music lifts a company event in a way a playlist can't. It gives the evening a focal point once the speeches and awards are done, and it gets people talking and dancing together. Event bands covering Birmingham play soul, pop, rock and party classics to suit a mixed-age audience.

Birmingham has a wide choice of event spaces, from Aston Hall and New Hall Hotel & Spa to Fazeley Studios. The bands on this page travel right across the area, including the city centre, Sutton Coldfield and Edgbaston, and can fit around speeches, awards and dinner service.

Not every event band does the same job. Some are known for a big, polished show with brass and several singers, others for a relaxed party set that suits a smaller team night. Knowing the size and tone of your event makes the choice much easier.

We've been booking bands for business events since 1999, and every band on this page covers Birmingham. PA, lighting and travel are built into the quote, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

At a glance:

  • Most event bands cost between £1,500 and £3,200
  • PA, lighting and travel are included in the price you're quoted
  • Choose anything from a trio to an eight-piece show band
  • December dates book up first, so enquire early for a Christmas party
  • A 14-day change-of-mind refund comes with every booking

Start with the room and the audience. A tight four-piece gives a full sound at a sensible price, while brass, keys or extra singers turn the night into more of a show. If the venue has a sound limiter or an early finish, a smaller line-up is often the better choice.

Most corporate bookings fall between £1,500 and £3,200. The number of musicians is the biggest factor, followed by the date: December dates for Christmas parties book up fastest and are priced accordingly, while a quieter month can cost less. PA, lighting and travel are included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.

Each band's page carries real video, audio, a song list and reviews from previous clients. A couple of clips will tell you far more about how an act works a room than any description can, so it's worth watching two or three before you shortlist.

The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the event. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.

FAQs

Nothing in the band itself, again — the same acts play corporate events, private parties and weddings; what changes is the brief (timings, dress code, sometimes a shorter or later set).

Yes, many event bookings ask for exactly this — quieter music through a meal or awards, then a full live set once the formal part ends.

Yes, this is the most common setting for a corporate booking in the region, alongside dedicated event spaces.

Yes, a six to eight-piece line-up with its own PA is built for exactly this kind of room.

Typically £1,500 to £3,200, with December dates for the Christmas party season at the higher end.

As early as possible for December dates specifically, since demand is highest then.

“Thank you so much for joining us at Ellenor's Midsummer Night's Ball on Saturday 9 June in the grounds of St Clere, Sevenoaks. Harlem Shuffle performance was fantastic, it was great seeing so many guests getting up and dancing the night away. We have had so much wonderful feedback from both our guests and staff about your performance, so thank you for your hard work!”

“Fabulous band to keep your guests entertained. The dancefloor for our firm's Christmas party was packed all evening. Good variety of tunes to appeal to everyone. Great musicians and singers. Jamie was incredibly helpful in pre-event discussions and on the night. Highly recommended!”

“What a fantastic band! We booked Swing Time for a Charity Gala Ball, and what a wonderful addition to the event they were. All our guests made for the dance floor and were thoroughly entertained and I can't recommend them highly enough. Delightful people and they certainly add value to your event!”

“We were absolutely delighted with Stewart. He went down a storm with both the audience and staff! Thanks Again.”

“Carlyle were absolutely fantastic, I've had such great feedback from colleagues on the band's performance at our 10 Year Anniversary party and people asking where we found them. Although a lot of our group were slow to get on the dancefloor, the songs and atmosphere created by the band soon got them going and everyone was up later in the evening. Loved the setlist, not a bad song all night!”

(5)

“Thanks for the splendid effort for the Taste of Edinburgh Festival. I know it was a long haul with 3 full day's performances to deliver, plus the evening show at the jam house for the sponsors, but as always you and the boys delivered. And Edinburgh — just a note to thank you and the band for another excellent show at Ruby's Summer Ball, we raised over”
