Function Bands in Isle of Wight
Find the perfect function band on the Isle of Wight
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 the Isle of Wight, these bands are booked for birthdays, anniversaries and private parties.
Popular party venues on the Isle of Wight include East Afton Farmhouse, Shepards Wharf Marina – The Sugar Store and New Barn Farm, and our bands play celebrations across Ventnor, Newport and Cowes. Tell us your venue, or that you're hosting at home, and we'll suggest acts that fit the space.
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.

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.
Every band's page has video and audio of the performers who would actually play at your party, a full song list and written reviews from people who have booked them. It's the easiest way to judge the style and the atmosphere before you commit.
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.
