Roaming Bands in Blackpool
Roaming wedding bands for drinks receptions in Blackpool
A roaming band brings the music to your guests rather than asking them to come to the stage. The musicians move around the room or the garden, stopping to play to small groups of guests at a time, so everyone gets their own moment of live music. In Blackpool, roaming bands are booked for wedding drinks receptions, garden parties and corporate events.
Blackpool has a wide choice of wedding and event venues, from The Winter Gardens and The Norbreck Castle Hotel to Grand Hotel Blackpool. Our roaming acts travel right across the area, including Fleetwood, Lytham St Annes and Poulton-le-Fylde, and can move between spaces as your guests do.
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.

Most roaming acts play in sets of 30 to 45 minutes. Rather than staying in one place, they move around the room, stop with a group of guests for a song or two, then move on to the next. Many can also play a static set during a meal or on a terrace, so mention it if you'd like both.
A duo or trio typically starts from around £800, while a four-piece or brass band for a longer reception can reach £2,500 or more. The date and your set times make a difference too. The price in your quote includes travel, so it won't change once you've booked.
Every act's page has video and audio of the musicians who would actually play, their repertoire and written reviews from people who have booked them. It's the easiest way to check the style and the atmosphere before you commit.
