Function Bands in Birmingham

Party and function bands in Birmingham

A function band, a covers band, a party band or a live band: different names, same thing. Whatever you call it, you're after a band that plays the songs your guests already know, arranged to fill a dance floor rather than copy the record note for note. Across Birmingham, these bands are booked for birthdays, anniversaries and private parties.

Whether your party is near Solihull, the Jewellery Quarter and Edgbaston or elsewhere in Birmingham, the bands listed here cover the whole area. Local venues include Birmingham Botanical Gardens, Aston Hall and Fazeley Studios. If you're hosting at home, check there's a power supply near where the band will set up.

Within this category you'll find three-piece party bands, soul and Motown groups, rock and indie bands and bigger line-ups with brass. Most will take a few requests ahead of the day, and many can learn a special song for a birthday or anniversary moment.

We've been booking party bands since 1999, and every band on this page covers Birmingham. PA, lighting and travel are built into the quote, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

What to know:

• Budget £1,200 to £2,400 for most line-ups, with weekday dates often costing less
• Every quote includes the band's PA, stage lighting and travel
• Playlist music is provided between sets, so there's no silence
• Bands play marquees and homes as well as function rooms
• Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Plenty of our function bands play marquees in back gardens. The main things to check are a flat area for the band, a nearby power supply and a rough finish time that suits the neighbours. Mention it when you enquire and the band will tell you exactly what they need.

Most parties spend between £1,200 and £2,400. The number of musicians is the biggest factor, followed by the day and the time of year: a weekday date can cost less than a Saturday in summer. PA, lighting and travel are included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.

Every band's page has video and audio of the performers who would actually play at your party, a full song list and written reviews from people who have booked them. It's the easiest way to judge the style and the atmosphere before you commit.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.
