Photo of Point Five Ceilidh Band Point Five Ceilidh Band "A really great night, Point 5 were so accommodating, fun and professional. Also really great communication before the ceilidh, together meant my daughter had a party to remember." Based in Glasgow, Scotland 22nd September 2026 Joe Hallwood - 21st Birthday Ceilidh Photo of The Brogues Ceilidh Band The Brogues Ceilidh Band "A massive 'Thankyou' for last night's ceilidh! Everyone I have spoken to really enjoyed the evening and I thought the atmosphere in the hall was very energetic!" Based in Glasgow, Scotland 25th March 2026 Sarah Hyde - event organiser, January 2026 - Fundraiser/Burns' Night ceilidh - Edmonstone Hall 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 Jane - Wedding 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 22nd July 2026 Emma Rigg - Private Event Photo of Mr Swing's Dance Orchestra Mr Swing's Dance Orchestra "We just wanted to drop you a quick message to say thank you so much for being such a fantastic part of our wedding last week! We have lost count of the number of guests who commented on how fantastic you all were, both on the night itself and in messages afterwards. The atmosphere was exactly as we had hoped it would be. We can’t think of a better way that we could have gotten all of the different people from all walks of our lives up and dancing all night! Dexter particularly isn’t much of a dancer so I hope you do take it as the high praise that it is that he was on the dance floor for so much of the evening. We also just wanted to say a massive thank you for being so flexible with the timings and playing later than planned without any issue. Hope the rest of the wedding season continues to be such a success. Thanks so much again." Based in Tadcaster, England Helen & Dexter - Wedding - Tyne & Wear 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!" Based in Stockport, England Ken - Birthday party in Telford - 2019

Frequently asked questions

Hiring dance bands typically costs between £170 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.

Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
