Function Bands in Lancashire

Party and function bands in Lancashire

Nothing gets a party going like a live band. Guests who would stand around chatting through a playlist tend to get up once the band starts, and the atmosphere builds from there. Function bands covering Lancashire play soul, pop, rock and party classics for audiences of every age.

Popular party venues in Lancashire include Browsholme Hall, Wyresdale Park Wedding Barns and Eaves Hall, and our bands play celebrations across Clitheroe, Preston and Blackburn. Tell us your venue, or that you're hosting at home, and we'll suggest acts that fit the space.

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.

We've been booking party bands since 1999, and every band on this page covers Lancashire. PA, lighting and travel are built into the quote, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

At a glance:

  • Most function bands cost between £1,200 and £2,400
  • PA, lighting and travel are included in the price you're quoted
  • Choose anything from a trio to an eight-piece with brass
  • Saturdays in summer and December go first, so enquire early
  • A 14-day change-of-mind refund comes with every booking

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.

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.

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.

FAQs

Nothing in the band itself; the difference is the occasion. The same acts that play weddings play parties, and the set list is built the same way — a strong mix of songs that fills a dance floor.
Yes, this is one of the most common bookings — same process, same instant quote, same PA and lighting included.
Yes, a marquee in a garden is one of the most common Function Bands settings, and the same band can just as easily play a hotel function room the next weekend.
Mainly power and space — a band will usually ask what's available before the day so the line-up and setup fit comfortably.
Typically £1,200 to £2,400, depending mainly on line-up size and the date — PA, lighting and travel are always included in the quote.
Most parties book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday when dates go quickly.

“Just to say we had a really good time yesterday with Gerry and his wife. They were very professional and gave Jason, my sons 48th birthday, a real treat. All the other residents in the house, the carers and the rest of my family had a good time. Although it was a small audience for them ( 15 people) they pulled out all the stops with 2 sessions and further party disco music.”
