Roaming Bands in Devon
Hire a roaming band for your wedding or event in Devon
Roaming bands are one of the easiest ways to lift a wedding reception. Acts across Devon need no stage and usually no power, so they can start as soon as guests arrive, follow them from the ceremony to the drinks and move around the room playing to small groups while everyone mingles.
Whether your wedding or event is near Totnes, Exeter and Torquay or elsewhere in Devon, the acts on this page cover the whole area. Local venues include Rockbeare Manor, Huntsham Court and ANRÁN at Tidwell Farm. It's worth planning a covered spot in case the weather turns during an outdoor reception.
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.

- Travel is included in every quote

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.
Most roaming band bookings fall between about £800 and £2,500. The number of musicians is the biggest factor, followed by the date and how long they play. Travel is included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.
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.
