Guide to booking party bands in Norfolk

Why should I hire a party band in Norfolk for my event?

From a county that has produced musical prodigies as varied as Myleene Klass and Roger Taylor, our roster of function bands celebrates the diversity of musical talent available in Norfolk.

Across all genres and styles, our experts have pinpointed the most talented musicians and performers to put on the perfect entertainment for your event.

Whether you're celebrating inland, across the marshes or nearer the broads and sea, our Norfolk party bands can meet your event's requirements and provide the highest quality of musical entertainment.

What style of music do your Norfolk party bands perform?

We specialise in Norfolk party bands playing upbeat rock, pop and soul music from the 50s to the present day – these are the most popular genres for parties, corporate events and weddings.

But if mainstream isn't your thing, we also have Latin, ska, ceilidh and jazz bands in Norfolk. If you love the sounds of Motown, R&B and big brass sections how about hiring a soul band?

For something more original, book a brass band.

If you’re not sure what would work best for your event, get in touch with one of our experts, and we’ll find the perfect entertainment for you.

Can you provide background musicians for hire in Norfolk?

This page is dedicated to party bands, but we can also provide musicians in Norfolk during the earlier part of your day, not just at your evening reception.

For a wedding ceremony, you could hire one of our string quartets. For the perfect accompaniment to a cocktail party and drinks receptions, we can provide classical guitarists and pianists.

For a summer garden party or outdoor event, our steel bands and Dixieland jazz bands in are much in-demand!

Do we need to provide any equipment for the band?

All of our bands will come fully equipped for your event, though it's worth getting in touch if you think your event will exceed 250 guests, as extra equipment might then be necessary.

You just need to make sure that the band has a power source to plug in to and a space to perform! We recommend a flat and sheltered stage area of at least 3 x 3 meters for a 3-piece band – then add an extra metre squared per band member that you have booked.

A raised stage is preferable for maximum impact but not essential.

Where do your Norfolk party bands tend to perform?

Our bands are available all across Norfolk so whether you're celebrating at The Costessey Centre, St George's Hall, The Thetford Academy, Northrepps, Bacton-on-Sea, Alpington, Itteringham, Jane Austen College, Brancaster Village Hall, Old Lakenham Community Centre, Tasburgh, Gaywood, Mileham Village Hall, Harford Community Centre or Wellspring Family Centre - we've got the right band for you!

We love to play your private events that you're hosting in your own space as well, so let us know any ideas you have for celebrating and we'll find the perfect band to fit your occasion.

From east Norfolk to the west, we've got talented musicians that can put on the perfect entertainment for your event.

How can we save money on our Norfolk band?

Before you book more musicians for afternoon background music, check whether members of your band can provide this – it'll save you additional costs, such as travel.

If you haven't yet set your event date, consider booking a midweek or winter date to take advantage of the most competitive rates.

Always consider hiring a band from your local area, to save on travel and accommodation costs. We have bands based in most major towns and cities across the UK.
