Event Bands in Manchester
Live bands for corporate events in Manchester
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 Manchester book these bands for dinners, conferences and end-of-year parties.
Popular event venues in Manchester include Great John Street Hotel, The Midland Hotel and Manchester Hall, and our bands play corporate events across Didsbury, the city centre and Altrincham. Tell us your venue and running order when you enquire and we'll suggest acts that suit both.
Not every event band does the same job. Some are known for a big, polished show with brass and several singers, others for a relaxed party set that suits a smaller team night. Knowing the size and tone of your event makes the choice much easier.
Hireaband has been booking live bands for corporate and business events since 1999. Every band listed here travels to Manchester 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.
Rather than a generic demo, every band's page shows the actual line-up you'd be booking, with videos, audio and a song list. Underneath are reviews from clients who have already booked them, often at venues you'll recognise. Between them you'll have a clear picture of the event well before the day.
