Event Bands in Lancashire

Live bands for corporate events in Lancashire

A corporate audience wants a band that reads the room just as well as any wedding crowd. Colleagues and clients need a few familiar songs before they'll dance, and the band has to judge the moment the formal part of the night ends. Across Lancashire, event bands are booked for Christmas parties, awards dinners, product launches and summer socials.

Across Lancashire, our event bands play hotel suites, conference centres and private venues in and around Burnley, Preston and Clitheroe. Venues in the area include Mitton Hall, Wyresdale Park Wedding Barns and The Villa, Wrea Green, and our bands are used to working with event managers and tight schedules.

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 Lancashire 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

Most event bands play two sets of around 45 minutes to an hour, usually after dinner and any awards. If you'd like music earlier, many can add a background set during the drinks reception. Share your running order when you enquire and we'll build the quote around it.

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.

Each band'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, so it's worth watching two or three before you shortlist.

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.

Yes, this is the most common setting for a corporate booking in the region, alongside dedicated event spaces.
