Event Bands in Bristol
Find the perfect event band in Bristol
An event band, a corporate band, a party band for a work event: whatever you call it, you're after a professional act that turns a room of colleagues into a party for the last few hours of the night. Businesses in Bristol book live bands for everything from staff parties to gala dinners.
Whether your event is near Portishead, the city centre and Clifton or elsewhere in Bristol, the bands listed here cover the whole area. Local venues include Old Down Manor, Clevedon Hall and Aldwick Court Farm. It's worth confirming load-in times and any sound limiter with the venue early, as both affect the band's set-up.
Within this category you'll find party bands, soul and Motown groups, swing bands and larger show bands with brass. Their song lists show exactly what each one covers, and most will add a company favourite or two if you ask ahead of the day.
We've been booking bands for business events since 1999, and every band on this page covers Bristol. PA, lighting and travel are built into the quote, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.
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, especially for the festive season
- Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund
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.
A three or four-piece typically starts from around £1,500, while a larger band with brass for a gala dinner can reach £3,200 or more. The date and your set times make a difference too. The price in your quote includes PA, lighting and travel, so it won't change once you've booked.
Rather than a generic demo, every band's page shows the actual line-up you'd be booking, with videos, audio and a song list. Underneath are reviews from clients who have already booked them, often at venues you'll recognise. Between them you'll have a clear picture of the event well before the day.
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.
