Function Bands in Somerset
Party and function bands in Somerset
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 Somerset, these bands are booked for birthdays, anniversaries and private parties.
Popular party venues in Somerset include Homewood Park Hotel, The Roman Baths and Brympton House, and our bands play celebrations across Yeovil, Wells and Frome. 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.

What to know:
- Budget £1,200 to £2,400 for most line-ups, with weekday dates often costing less
- Every quote includes the band's PA, stage lighting and travel

- Bands play marquees and homes as well as function rooms
- Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund
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.
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.
