Guide to booking party bands in Warwickshire

Function Central has a huge range of professional and exciting bands for hire in Shakespeare’s county. We can find exactly the right Warwickshire band for you, whether you’re looking for a tempest on the dancefloor or a soundtrack gentle enough to tame any shrew!

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

Boasting icons of the arts such as William Shakespeare, the historic architecture found at Warwick and Kenilworth Castle, the sporting prowess of Rugby and the upcoming 2021 UK City of Culture, Coventry, Warwickshire is a vibrant centre of creativity and diversity.

When it comes to music, the county is bursting with talent, and has produced famous musicians ranging from Edwin Starr and James Morrison to Pete Doherty.

We've gathered some of Warwickshire's finest party bands across all genres and, from classical to pop, they are well-equipped to soundtrack your party, wedding or corporate event.

What style of music do your Warwickshire bands perform?

We specialise in Warwickshire 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. 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 Warwickshire?

This page is dedicated to party bands, but we can also provide Warwickshire musicians 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 Warwickshire party bands tend to perform?

Our bands play all across Warwickshire and have enjoyed performing at celebrations at local venues such as Kilsby Village Hall, Lapworth Village Hall, Great Alne & Kinwarton Memorial Hall, Avon Sports Bar, Altoria Bar, Charlecote Village Hall, Warmington, Snitterfield, Studley, St Michael's Centre, Bubbenhall Village Hall, Kenilworth Sports & Social Club, Moreton Morrell, Tanworth in Arden, Hartshill Community Centre, The Malt House in Alveston, Bearley Village Hall and The Crown Inn.

We well-versed in organising party bands for large or small-scale events, be they weddings, parties, corporate functions or bar mitzvahs. Our bands can squeeze into the corner of your living room, or fill a stadium – just let us know your requirements, and we'll find the best band for the occasion.

How can we save money on our 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.
