Our experts have tracked down the most talented and reliable acts so that you don’t have to.
We have Sussex party bands in all styles, suitable for all budgets – and all of them are young enough to love what they do and experienced enough to know exactly what to play and when!
Our Sussex wedding bands play all the hits, from time-tested classics to modern chart-toppers, and are happy to learn a first dance or special song for your event – whether it’s a well-known sing along or an obscure indie gem.
We have party bands for hire playing a wide range of genres. For a corporate party or glamorous student ball, book a Gatsby style swing band, or a band playing jazzy versions of pop covers.
For a raucous party in the pub, hire a rock and indie band.
For a garden party with no easy access to a power supply, hire a ‘wireless’ roving band, such as a steel band or acoustic band.
This page is dedicated to Sussex party bands for an evening party, where dancing is on the cards. But if you’re looking for something more laid-back, or suitable for a small venue, how about a singer guitarist or an acoustic duo?
Our jazz bands are ideal for creating an upbeat, mellow atmosphere your guests can talk over.
If you’re looking for something more refined, our Sussex jazz bands for hire cover a range of sub-genres including gypsy jazz bands, jazz trios, wedding jazz bands, background jazz bands.
All will play non-intrusive, sophisticated background music that your guests can talk over.
For the evening, consider hiring a swing band to get the party started.
Our Sussex bands all come fully equipped for your event – it’s just 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 3x3 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 our bands are flexible to all kinds of set ups!
Towns full of history, views of the sea, walks through the countryside and a heavy sprinkling of rustic personality, Sussex really does have it all.

Our East Sussex bands are available throughout Brighton and Hove, Eastbourne, Hastings, Bexhill-on-Sea, Seaford, Crowborough, Hailsham, Portslade-by-Sea, Peacehaven and Lewes.
Our price promise means that, if another agency offers you one of our
Sussex party bands for a lower price or on better terms, we’ll match
their offer. And you won’t have to worry about hiring a separate DJ, as
many of our acts provide a free DJ service when they’re
not playing.
But the bargain price doesn’t mean you have to compromise on quality; our Sussex cover bands are the most gifted performers in the county, as well as being the most reliable, and are all strictly vetted before being allowed on to our books.
