Photo of M50 The Band M50 The Band "Saw them in Dolans. Limerick , on May 1st 2026. They are excellent and interactive! They created a great atmosphere!" Based in Dublin, Leinster (48 miles from Portlaoise) 2nd May 2026 Paul O'Connor Photo of The Lewd Tunes The Lewd Tunes "I can 100% recommend The Lewd Tunes. They had our dance floor full all night and were absolutely once of the best parts of our big day. Pat was so professional to deal with and was so fast with his replies every time. Thanks so much guys. Aine and Brian" Based in Galway, Connaught (74 miles from Portlaoise) 4th November 2025 Aine Murphy - Wedding Photo of Relative Cool Relative Cool "We thought Relative Cool were absolutely brilliant when they played at our wedding. The vocalist was fabulous! The 3 sets filled the whole evening and definitely had everyone up dancing. I also really appreciated little things like the singer chatting with one of the kids while they had a break between sets. They were thoroughly professional throughout. We spoke to Tom before the evening and he was always really responsive with messages. We would definitely recommend them and thank you very much for making it a great evening!" Based in Preston, England, United Kingdom (196 miles from Portlaoise) Jane - Wedding Photo of The Session Band The Session Band "We hired The Session Band for our wedding in Devon. They were brilliant throughout the whole process from enquiry, to booking, to performing. Before the booking, they also gave us other options to add on if we wanted. Once we booked, they sent over their website with their library of songs. We picked a few we liked and they then built their set from that. They also agreed to play our first dance song that we requested. The band were great when they arrived and were accommodating with us as we were slightly behind schedule. Our guests absolutely loved the band and we had so many positive comments from them. In between the band sets we also went for the DJ and Saxophone option, which were great at getting people dancing towards the end of the night. Overall a brilliant experience and I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding band." Based in Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom (205 miles from Portlaoise) 3rd November 2025 Aiden Shearer - Wedding Photo of The Big Phat Phunction Band The Big Phat Phunction Band "You were excellent and fun and we will for sure book you all again next time we party!"

The crowd were dancing and singing along all night; we’d definitely have them back next year. Many thanks!"

Frequently asked questions

Hiring dance bands typically costs between €200 and €3,550+, with an average of €1,200. The price depends on the number of musicians, set duration and the style of dance music. Dance bands vary from compact combos to large ensembles with horn sections, and the size of the line-up is the primary cost driver.

Most dance bands bring their own PA system, instruments and basic stage lighting. Some bands offer enhanced lighting packages as an optional extra. For larger venues, additional sound or lighting may be needed. It is advisable to confirm all technical requirements before booking.

The dance bands cover a wide range of popular dance music including pop, disco, funk, soul, Motown, rock and current chart hits. Most dance bands focus on well-known, uptempo songs designed to fill the dance floor at parties and celebrations.

Typical bookings for dance bands are two to three hours of live music, split into high-energy sets designed to keep guests on the dance floor. Short breaks between sets give the band and audience a chance to reset before the next round. It is worth discussing the event schedule with the band to plan the best format.

Common events for dance bands include weddings, birthday parties, corporate events, proms and any celebration where getting guests dancing is a priority. A live dance band brings energy and interaction that a DJ or playlist cannot match.
