Function Bands in East Sussex
Hire a function band for your celebration in East Sussex
Planning a big birthday or anniversary means finding music that suits everyone from your oldest relatives to your youngest guests. A good function band manages exactly that. Hosts in East Sussex book these bands for 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, anniversaries and family celebrations.
Across East Sussex, our function bands play hotels, golf clubs, village halls and marquees in and around Eastbourne, Hastings and Lewes. Venues in the area include Buckhurst Park, The Grand Hotel and Hendall Manor Barns, and our bands are used to setting up in all kinds of spaces.
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.

A trio or four-piece is ideal for a party of up to about 100 guests or a venue with a sound limiter. For a big celebration in a large marquee or ballroom, a six-piece or bigger band makes more of an occasion of it. Tell us the space and guest numbers and we'll suggest what tends to work.
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.
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.
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.
