Function Bands in Leicestershire

Hire a function band for your celebration in Leicestershire

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 Leicestershire book these bands for 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, anniversaries and family celebrations.

Leicestershire has plenty of places to hold a party, from The Hall Barns at Prestwold and Willow Marsh Farm to Rothley Court Hotel. The bands on this page travel right across the area, including Market Harborough, Hinckley and Leicester, and can play a marquee in a back garden just as easily as a function room.

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.

Hireaband has been booking live bands for parties and private events since 1999. Every band listed here travels to Leicestershire as standard, brings its own PA and lighting, and sets up and clears away on the night. Use the instant quote button on this page to check prices and availability for your date.

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

Space matters more than guest numbers. A three or four-piece suits most function rooms and a modest marquee, giving enough sound to fill a dance floor without overwhelming the room. A bigger marquee or larger hotel room carries a six to eight-piece easily, with brass or an extra vocalist adding weight.

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.
