Roaming Bands in Bedfordshire
Roaming wedding bands for drinks receptions in Bedfordshire
When guests are spread across a lawn, a terrace or several rooms, a roaming band keeps the atmosphere going everywhere at once. The band moves from group to group, playing a song or two for each before moving on. Across Bedfordshire, these acts are a favourite for weddings and summer events, playing acoustic pop, swing, jazz, folk and brass.
Across Bedfordshire, roaming bands are booked for weddings and events in and around Bedford, Dunstable and Biggleswade. Venues in the area include Corner 5 Restaurant, Shuttleworth House, Old Warden and The Barns Hotel, and their gardens, terraces and reception rooms are ideal for a band moving between groups of guests.
Roaming bands come in many styles. Some play acoustic versions of pop and chart hits, some play vintage swing and jazz, and others bring brass, folk or a New Orleans street-band feel. Watching a couple of videos is the quickest way to find the one that fits your day.

Start with the space and the guest numbers. A duo suits a drinks reception of up to about 80 guests, a trio or four-piece suits a larger lawn or several rooms, and a brass band suits a big outdoor event or a grand entrance.
Most roaming band bookings fall between about £800 and £2,500. The number of musicians is the biggest factor, followed by the date and how long they play. Travel is included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.
Rather than a generic demo, each act's page shows the actual line-up you'd be booking, with videos, audio, a song list and client reviews. Between them you'll get a clear sense of the sound and the show well before the day.
