Roaming Bands in Leicestershire
Hire a roaming band for your wedding or event in Leicestershire
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 Leicestershire, these acts are a favourite for weddings and summer events, playing acoustic pop, swing, jazz, folk and brass.
Popular event venues in Leicestershire include The Hall Barns at Prestwold, Brooksby Hall and Mythe Barn, and our roaming bands play weddings and events across Melton Mowbray, Market Harborough and Leicester. Tell us your venue and where guests will gather when you enquire and we'll suggest acts that suit.
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.

Roaming bands are often booked for outdoor receptions, so agree a covered alternative with your venue. Acoustic acts can move inside in minutes, and most are happy to play in a marquee, a conservatory or a covered terrace.
Expect to pay from around £800 for a smaller act up to £2,500 or more for a larger band. Line-up size matters most, then the date and extras such as an extra set during the meal. Every quote includes travel, so nothing is added later.
Each roaming act'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 a band works a room than any description can.
