Function Bands in Devon
Hire a function band for your celebration in Devon
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 Devon, these bands are booked for birthdays, anniversaries and private parties.
Whether your party is near Totnes, Barnstaple and Torquay or elsewhere in Devon, the bands listed here cover the whole area. Local venues include Upton Barn, ANRÁN at Tidwell Farm and Watermouth Cove. If you're hosting at home, check there's a power supply near where the band will set up.
Within this category you'll find three-piece party bands, soul and Motown groups, rock and indie bands and bigger line-ups with brass. Most will take a few requests ahead of the day, and many can learn a special song for a birthday or anniversary moment.
We've been booking party bands since 1999, and every band on this page covers Devon. PA, lighting and travel are built into the quote, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.
The essentials:
- Typical cost: £1,200 to £2,400, 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
- Most parties book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday
- Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund
Most function bands play two sets of around an hour, with playlist music in between. If there's a moment you want to mark, such as a cake, a toast or a special song, let the band know beforehand and they'll fit it into the evening.
Most parties spend between £1,200 and £2,400. The number of musicians is the biggest factor, followed by the day and the time of year: a weekday date can cost less than a Saturday in summer. PA, lighting and travel are included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.
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 party well before the day.
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.
