Reviews of Dance Bands available in Scarborough

5/5 from 956 reviews
Photo of Dr Jazz Dr Jazz "Thank you all so much for your amazing performance on Saturday evening, which was everything I could have hoped for! Your music was brilliant, got everyone up dancing and I can’t tell you how many people told me afterwards ‘how brilliant the 1920s band were’. As soon as you played your first song I knew we’d struck gold! It couldn’t have been more perfect given the whole Gatsby theme and everyone so dressed up, so thank you all so much. You may be interested to know that we raised an astonishing £7,000 on the night! With just 96 people in the room…amazing! Thanks again Matthew and I’ll not hesitate to recommend you if anyone should ask me for a fabulous 20’s Jazz Band!" Based in York, England (35 miles from Scarborough) Gayle Wharton - Charity Ball - Lincolnshire Photo of Emi Hall- Singer Emi Hall- Singer "Fantastic performer! Very professional and can adapt to any ocassion, nothing is too much trouble and Emi is very reliable. She has helped us with many charity events as well as birthdays, engagements, baby showers, xmas parties etc. We would highly recommend her. xx" Based in Bingley, England (65 miles from Scarborough) 22nd July 2026 Emma Rigg - Private Event Photo of Hoedown Band Hoedown Band "We hired the Hoedown Band for our Xmas party and they were fantastic. They were very professional, neatly presented and they sounded great on the night. We were a small crowd but their lead singer [caller] Dawn was very interactive and educational with her dance moves. The band knew their instruments and songs very well and I would certainly recommend them." Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, England (68 miles from Scarborough) - Lindsay (Bawrunga Medical Service) - Xmas Party Photo of Nightflyers Big Band Nightflyers Big Band "I have seen them play twice at Leeds Jazz Club. They bring so much life to their music! I hope to see them again." Based in Queensbury, England (71 miles from Scarborough) Charlie Castell - Went to a gig Photo of The Ultimate Party Band UK The Ultimate Party Band UK "We first saw you when you were presenting the karaoke in the 270 bar, you have got such charisma and charm. Our children loved dancing and singing along to your songs, you created a lovely atmosphere. What a talented group you are, I'm sure you will all go far. Thank you" Based in Chesterfield, England (82 miles from Scarborough) Emma Louise Photo of The Bierkellers The Bierkellers "The Bierkellers played for our corporate suppliers party & did a fantastic job.

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.
