Event Bands in Leicestershire

Find the perfect event band in Leicestershire

Live music lifts a company event in a way a playlist can't. It gives the evening a focal point once the speeches and awards are done, and it gets people talking and dancing together. Event bands covering Leicestershire play soul, pop, rock and party classics to suit a mixed-age audience.

Popular event venues in Leicestershire include Winstanley House, Quorn Grange Hotel and Rothley Court Hotel, and our bands play corporate events across Loughborough, Market Harborough and Leicester. Tell us your venue and running order when you enquire and we'll suggest acts that suit both.

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.

Hireaband has been booking live bands for corporate and business events since 1999. Every band listed here travels to Leicestershire 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.

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

Room size and the shape of the evening both matter. A four or five-piece suits most hotel function suites, giving enough sound to fill a dance floor once the formal part of the night is over. A larger ballroom or conference venue carries a six to eight-piece easily, with brass or an extra vocalist adding weight.

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.

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.

FAQs

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.

“What a fantastic band! We booked Swing Time for a Charity Gala Ball, and what a wonderful addition to the event they were. All our guests made for the dance floor and were thoroughly entertained and I can't recommend them highly enough. Delightful people and they certainly add value to your event!”

(5)

“We were absolutely delighted with Stewart. He went down a storm with both the audience and staff! Thanks Again.”

“Carlyle were absolutely fantastic, I've had such great feedback from colleagues on the band's performance at our 10 Year 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!”

(5)

“Thanks for the splendid effort for the Taste of Edinburgh Festival. I know it was a long haul with 3 full day?s performances to deliver, plus the evening show at the jam house for the sponsors, but as always you and the boys delivered.and EdinburghJust a note to thank you and the band for another excellent show at Ruby's Summer Ball, we raised over”

(5)

“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.”

“Thanks lads, you filled in at last minute and gave us a lot more entertainment then we expected, we will certainly be booking you again for future company events, cheers!!”
