Event Bands in the East Midlands

Book event bands anywhere in the East Midlands

Whether you're planning a event in a city-centre hotel or a country house miles from anywhere, event bands in the East Midlands cover the whole region. This page brings together acts that play everywhere from Kettering, Nottingham, Grantham, Loughborough and Chesterfield, so you can compare them side by side.

Across Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire, the event bands listed here play Christmas parties, awards dinners, product launches and summer socials. Use the area links lower down if you'd like a list narrowed to one part of the East Midlands.

Venues across the East Midlands that our acts know well include Park Farm and Norwood Park, Revesby Abbey and Beaumanor Hall, and Makeney Hall Hotel and Kelmarsh Hall & Gardens. Every venue has its own space, power supply and finish time, and we'll check those with the act for you.

Across the East Midlands you can choose from party bands, soul and Motown groups, swing bands and larger show bands with brass. Most will take a few requests ahead of the day, and many can learn a special song if you ask.

We've been booking event bands since 1999, and every act on this page travels across the East Midlands. 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 how long the act plays
  • Always included: PA, lighting and travel, in every quote
  • Acts travel to venues right across the East Midlands
  • Summer Saturdays and December dates book up first
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Start with the space and the guest numbers. A smaller line-up suits an intimate room or a venue with a sound limiter, while a larger act fills a ballroom or marquee. Tell us the venue and numbers and we'll suggest what tends to work.

Smaller line-ups typically start from around £1,500, while bigger acts can reach £3,200 or more. Summer Saturdays and December are the busiest dates. The price in your quote includes PA, lighting and travel, so it won't change once you've booked.

Each act'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.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.

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.

“Excellent communication from Del and the team. Declan was brilliant. Very professional musician with a lovely voice. Played a great variation of songs to suit all age groups of the party. Excellent value for money. Stairway to Heaven was incredible! Will book again in the future and highly recommend Declan and the company to everyone.”
