Function Bands in London
Party and function bands in London
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 London play soul, pop, rock and party classics for audiences of every age.
London has plenty of places to hold a party, from The Gore Hotel and St Pancras Renaissance Hotel London to Eltham Palace. The bands on this page travel right across the area, including Westminster, Kensington and Richmond, and can play a marquee in a back garden just as easily as a function room.
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.

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.
A three or four-piece typically starts from around £1,200, while a six-piece or a band with brass can reach £2,400 or more. December and summer Saturdays are the busiest dates. The price in your quote includes PA, lighting and travel, so it won't change once you've booked.
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.
