Event Bands in Cambridgeshire

Hire an event band for your company party in Cambridgeshire

Planning a work event means balancing a lot of people's tastes. A good event band starts with something everyone knows, keeps the volume right while guests are still at their tables and builds to a full dance floor. Organisers in Cambridgeshire book these bands for dinners, conferences and end-of-year parties.

Cambridgeshire has a wide choice of event spaces, from Bassmead Manor Barns and The Guildhall to Longstowe Hall. The bands on this page travel right across the area, including Peterborough, Cambridge and St Neots, and can fit around speeches, awards and dinner service.

Event bands come in many styles. Some focus on soul and Motown, some on pop and chart hits, and others on rock or swing. Many can also play a quieter background set during a drinks reception or dinner before the main performance.

Hireaband has been booking live bands for corporate and business events since 1999. Every band listed here travels to Cambridgeshire 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 prices and availability for your date.

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.

Expect to pay from around £1,500 for a smaller line-up up to £3,200 or more for a larger show band. Line-up size matters most, then the date and extras such as an early background set. Every quote includes PA, lighting and travel, so nothing is added later.

Every band's page has video and audio of the performers who would actually play at your event, a full song list and written reviews from people who have booked them. It's the easiest way to judge the style and the atmosphere before you commit.

Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the day 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 Cambridgeshire, 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.
