Event Bands in the East of England

Event bands covering the whole of the East of England

Whether you're planning a event in a city-centre hotel or a country house miles from anywhere, event bands in the East of England cover the whole region. This page brings together acts that play everywhere from Bedford, Colchester, St Albans, Ipswich, Peterborough and Norwich, so you can compare them side by side.

Our listings for the East of England take in Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. Each of those areas has its own page too, which you'll find in the links further down, but the acts here will travel to any of them.

Venues across the East of England include Bellows Mill, Anne of Cleves Barn, Fanhams Hall Hotel, The Granary Estates, Trinity Hall and Bayfield Hall. It's worth asking yours early about finish times and any sound limiter, as both affect what works on the night.

Not every event band does the same job. Within this category you'll find party bands, soul and Motown groups, swing bands and larger show bands with brass, and knowing the feel you want for your event makes the choice much easier.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment since 1999. Every band listed here covers the East of England, and PA, lighting and travel are included in the quote you receive. Use the instant quote button on this page to check prices and availability for your date.

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 of England
  • Summer Saturdays and December dates book up first
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Most acts perform two or three sets, with playlist music or a break in between. Share your running order when you enquire, including any special moments, and we'll build the quote around it.

Most bookings fall between £1,500 and £3,200. The size of the line-up is the biggest factor, followed by the date and how long the act plays. PA, lighting and travel are included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay, wherever you are in the East of England.

Every act'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 before you commit.

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.

“Hi Lee, the band were fabulous. Really got the mixed crowd going and I had such good feedback from everyone for them. Thanks again, Sam”

(5)

“Absolutely brilliant performance at our party! Mitch brought his DJ/percussion combo and honestly, it was a game-changer. What could've been just a regular office do turned into something really special. The live drumming during the DJ sets got everyone up on their feet and made the night one to remember. From start to finish, everything was super easy to organise and went off without a hitch. Our team's still talking about it, and we're already thinking of booking again next year!”

“This is the 4th time we've had Jumpstarter for our staff party and they were amazing as usual. They are very organised, very flexible and most of all, fantastic musicians who know how to fill a dance floor. I would recommend them to anyone and will definitely be booking them for our next event.”

(5)

“Kasbah performed 2 sets for my works Christmas party. Their flexibility and time keeping were extremely good and the performances were well received by my colleagues. I'd highly recommend them to anyone in the future. Hire a Band made the whole process extremely easy and stress free. Thank you.”

(5)

“I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the fantastic job your band did in entertaining the guests at our recent Gala Dinner.”

“Carlyle were absolutely fantastic, I've had such great feedback from colleagues on the band's performance at our 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!”
