Event Bands in Birmingham

Find the perfect event band in Birmingham

From hotel function suites in Birmingham and Solihull to conference and event venues across Birmingham, this is where everything from a Christmas party to an awards dinner or a product launch takes place — and a corporate audience wants a band that reads the room just as well as any wedding crowd, without the room itself being a barn or a marquee. Most bookings land in a hotel ballroom or a similar business event space.

An event band, a corporate band, a party band for a corporate event — nothing to separate them, really. Whatever you call it, you're after a professional act that reads a room of colleagues or clients and gets them up for the last hour of the night.

Hireaband has been booking live bands for corporate and business events since 1999. Every band listed here travels to Birmingham as standard, brings its own PA and lighting, and sets up and clears away on the night — use the instant quote button on this page to check pricing and availability for your date.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £1,500 to £3,200, depending on line-up, date and season
  • Always included: PA system, stage lighting and travel costs, in every quote
  • Line-ups from three-piece to eight-piece, with playlist music between sets
  • Corporate dates are often booked well ahead of the festive season especially
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Room size and the shape of the evening both matter. A four or five-piece suits most hotel function suites comfortably, giving enough sound to fill a dance floor once the formal part of the evening is over. A larger conference venue or ballroom carries a six to eight-piece easily, with brass or an extra vocalist adding weight for a bigger room. If you tell us the venue and roughly how many guests, we can usually say what has worked well there before.

Most corporate bookings spend 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 any travel costs are included in the quote you receive, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.

Every band's page carries video and audio of that exact line-up, so you can see the band in action and hear the musicians who would actually play at your event, rather than a generic demo, alongside their full song list. Underneath are written reviews from people who have already booked them. Between the videos, the set list and the feedback, you can form a clear picture of the night well before you commit.

Use the instant quote button on this page and enter your date and venue to see pricing and availability straight away. Once you've chosen a band, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day itself. Every booking comes with a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the night if anything needs sorting quickly.

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”
