Roaming Bands in Yorkshire & the Humber

Roaming bands covering the whole of Yorkshire & the Humber

Yorkshire & the Humber covers a lot of ground, from Hull, Sheffield, Acomb, Leeds and Scarborough. Our roaming bands travel right across the region, so wherever your wedding or event is, you'll find acts on this page who already know the venues, the roads and the local crowds. They're booked for drinks receptions, garden parties and corporate events.

Across Hull & East Yorkshire, Leeds & West Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, Sheffield & South Yorkshire and York, the roaming bands listed here play drinks receptions, garden parties and corporate events. Use the area links lower down if you'd like a list narrowed to one part of Yorkshire & the Humber.

Popular venues across the region include Burton Constable Hall, Whirlowbrook Hall, The Grand, Bowcliffe Hall, Howsham Hall and Hull Guildhall. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we can usually say which acts have played there before.

Not every roaming band does the same job. Within this category you'll find acoustic roaming duos and trios, swing and jazz groups and walkabout brass bands that move around the room playing to small groups of guests, and knowing the feel you want for your wedding or event makes the choice much easier.

FAQs

A roaming band plays acoustically while moving around the room or garden, stopping to play to small groups of guests at a time rather than performing from a stage. They're ideal for wedding drinks receptions, garden parties and corporate events where guests are mingling.

Usually not. Most roaming acts play fully acoustic, so they need no stage, PA or power. If they also play a static set with amplification, they'll let you know what they need.

Yes, and many bookings are outdoors. It's worth agreeing a covered spot with the venue in case of rain, and roaming acts can move inside quickly if the weather changes.

From around £800 for a smaller act to £2,500 or more for a larger band. The number of musicians, the date and the length of the booking make the biggest difference, and travel is always included in the quote.

Most play two or three sets of 30 to 45 minutes, which covers a typical wedding drinks reception. Longer bookings, or a mix of roaming and static sets, can be arranged when you enquire.

Yes. Many couples book a roaming act for the drinks reception and a separate band or DJ for the evening. We can quote for both together.

Reviews

“I hired The Roaming Romantics to play at my wedding last year - They were amazing and got everyone (which was a fairly international crowd) on the dancefloor in no time! We picked our songs and they came up with the rest. They were also really friendly and smiley with all of our guests - I highly recommend these guys.”

(5)

“Tommy & Sons performed at our wedding on the hottest day of the year (38 degrees!). They were professional throughout and so friendly. Due to the heat, most people were outside so were missing all the music, but the band happily set up outside instead and it turned the atmosphere into a much more relaxed, live music vibe rather than a wedding party, which was just what we were aiming for! The music was fantastic and we would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting live music at their event!”
