Bands based close to your venue usually quote less, because travel time and any overnight costs are built into the fee. Ask what a quote covers before comparing two acts: some include PA and stage lighting, others price them separately.

Soul Bands in BelfastParty bands in Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom play popular music across several decades, from Motown and classic rock to current chart hits, adjusting the setlist and energy to suit the room. Also called function bands, these acts usually run to 3 to 6 musicians and are booked for weddings, birthdays, corporate functions and private parties.
Set structure varies more than most people expect. A typical evening booking is two 45-minute sets with a break, and many bands supply a DJ playlist to cover the gap so the music never stops. Confirm how early the act needs access for setup, whether the venue has a sound limiter, and whether the band will learn a specific song for a first dance.
Rates for function bands in Belfast range from £170 to £2,650+, with the average booking at £850. Band size is the biggest factor: a three-piece costs less than a six-piece with brass or a second vocalist. Performance length, travel distance and whether the act supplies its own PA and lighting all move the figure.
The average price for Party Bands available in Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom is £850 (GBP). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

The Wilgars
"I went to see the Wilgars and what a band the sound was perfect,and their set list was perfect,had us up dancing all night"
Pure Blarney
"Just a note from myself though, we knew the band was great and would go down amazingly with our guests - but we were not prepared for how well they were received!! So many compliments about you guys!
Review for you to use:
We had pure blarney play at our wedding and what an experience!!
They were absolutely outstanding. The dance floor was full the entire time - you literally couldn’t stop for a break because every song they played was phenomenal. They were so interactive with the guests and created the most amazing atmosphere.
They genuinely have such a talent for what then do - their instruments, their singing and their ability to sustain such high energy.
Absolutely faultless!"
Kitchen
"Kitchen are a first class professional music choice for any occasion. Highly recommended."
8-Bit Funk
"Big thank you to 8-Bit for putting on a great show. The band were super accommodating, really well organized, very communicative. They did a great job of playing background jazz at a birthday and of course all the nostalgic gaming hits. Both young(5-15) and old(40 yr olds) loved it"
