Roaming Bands in Nottinghamshire

Hire a roaming band for your wedding or event in Nottinghamshire

If you want live music that feels part of the day rather than a performance in the corner, a roaming band is the answer. In Nottinghamshire, our roaming acts are booked for weddings, garden parties, product launches and Christmas events, moving among guests, playing close to small groups and taking requests as they go.

Popular event venues in Nottinghamshire include Inkersall Grange Farm, Colwick Hall and Hazel Gap Barn, and our roaming bands play weddings and events across Newark, Southwell and Mansfield. 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.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched live bands with events of every size. The roaming acts listed here all travel to Nottinghamshire, include travel in the price, and arrive with their own sound set-up where it's needed. The instant quote button shows pricing and availability for your date in seconds.

The essentials:

• Typical cost: from around £800 for a smaller act to £2,500 or more for a larger band, depending on line-up, date and set times
• The band moves around the room, playing to small groups of guests at a time
• No stage and usually no power needed
• Travel is included in every quote
• Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

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.

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.

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.

The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the event. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.
