Photo of Osofrito Osofrito "Just watched Sofrito live tonight! Great sound, rhythm and vocals. Thoroughly enjoyed the set!" Based in Loughborough, England (9 miles from Leicester) Edel Concannon - The international Leicester Photo of Footloose Footloose "Martin and Roy played at my Birthday Party and it was absolutely Brilliant! The Dance floor was packed from the moment they started playing to the end of the evening. Everybody said how much they enjoyed the music. It was all the songs we new from the 60's to the 90's and some contemporary ones too. The sound was fantastic. It really sounded like a 6 piece band with backing vocals all at just the right volume. If you want a great fun band that can play all your favorite hits then look no further than Footloose. Their vocals and guitars were fantastic and the extra instruments they played on the backing were spot on. Thanks Footloose" Based in Grantham, England (28 miles from Leicester) Maggie Jamneson - Birthday Party Photo of The Soul D Band The Soul D Band "Soul D band was fantastic and really made our evening. They were professional and really interacted with the audience making their show a great experience for all of us." Based in Northampton, England (29 miles from Leicester) Terry Russell - Birthday Party Photo of One Hit Wonder Show One Hit Wonder Show "Played 2 sets plus background music, people got up and danced along, their music covered all decades 50’s to 2010 perfect choices, friendly guys too!!" Based in Lichfield, England (29 miles from Leicester) Kevin Wilson - 70th Birthday Photo of Reggae Winehouse Reggae Winehouse "I got an all-clear result from my PCR Test yesterday, so last night I ventured out to the Jam House to see how much the Brummie music culture had advanced during my almost 2-year absence. Last nights gig was a new venture called Reggae Winehouse a Brummie band with three vocalists doing Reggae versions of Amy Winehouse's repertoire. I liked the idea, and so did a lot of other Brummies who turned out to make a fantastic night. I am old enough to remember when the Windrush Generation started to arrive in Brum bringing their love of music and enjoyment with them. A few of that generation were present last night along with their grandchildren. By the time that the second set started the Jam House was bouncing around St Pauls Square and you couldn't tell the difference between the multiple ethnicities on the dancefloor, we were all just Brummies filled with Joy. I semi walked semi danced on my way home in the early hours, thinking to myself how lucky I am to be a Brummie. The Jam House did our City proud last night, and after 10 years I finally saw the lead singer I always knew was in there. Take a bow Leonie Smith and the rest of your brilliant band !! #nuffsaidfred #ILuvMyCity" Based in Sutton Coldfield, England (29 miles from Leicester) Fred rose - Live gig Photo of Whiskey & Shades Country Band Whiskey & Shades Country Band "Whiskey & Shades were fantastic at the Little Country Fest! Great country vibes, brilliant music, and an amazing atmosphere. They really got the crowd going and made it a memorable festival. Definitely a band worth seeing live!" Based in Moseley, England (34 miles from Leicester) 22nd October 2026 Angelika Grobelna - Festival

Frequently asked questions

Hiring dance bands typically costs between £180 and £2,950+, with an average of £1,000. 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.

The dance bands for hire 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.

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.

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.
