Function Bands in Bristol
Hire a function band for your celebration in Bristol
A function band, a covers band, a party band or a live band: different names, same thing. Whatever you call it, you're after a band that plays the songs your guests already know, arranged to fill a dance floor rather than copy the record note for note. Across Bristol, these bands are booked for birthdays, anniversaries and private parties.
Whether your party is near the city centre, Keynsham and Harbourside or elsewhere in Bristol, the bands listed here cover the whole area. Local venues include Nailsea Tithe Barn, Clevedon Hall and Aldwick Court Farm. If you're hosting at home, check there's a power supply near where the band will set up.
Function bands come in many styles. Some focus on soul and Motown, some on pop and chart hits, and others on rock, indie or decade-themed sets. Their song lists show exactly what each one plays, so you can match the band to the crowd.

Plenty of our function bands play marquees in back gardens. The main things to check are a flat area for the band, a nearby power supply and a rough finish time that suits the neighbours. Mention it when you enquire and the band will tell you exactly what they need.
Expect to pay from around £1,200 for a smaller line-up up to £2,400 or more for a larger band. Line-up size matters most, then the date and your set times. 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.
