Photo of StereoJack - Top Rated Party Band StereoJack - Top Rated Party Band "I can't quite put the set into words. It was a load of popular tracks from over the years and I was not fond of the originals. When they were sung by this band they were absolutely excellent. It was like a remixed album of classics and bangers of the ages. I'm not married but now want to propose to my partner just to get this band there. All 3 singers were 10/10 and the relaxed, friendly and approachable nature just made them even better. Musical geniuses a top band!" Based in Cambridge, England Charles - Ultra marathon Photo of Dabhands Dabhands "It was commented our harmonies were above average also that out Classic Rock Songs were a good selection." Based in Cambridge, England Luke -Entertainment Manager - Function /Club Photo of Under The Covers Under The Covers "Under the covers were recommended to me by a friend and after checking them out online I booked them. They didn’t disappoint! I loved them and they even stayed and played music until the end of the party!" Based in Cambridge, England Katherine B - Party Photo of John Barry/Johnny Cash/Glen Campbell trib John Barry/Johnny Cash/Glen Campbell trib "John, you gave us a cracking night considering the age difference of the party goers you read the audience spot on, providing a great array of music. All enjoyed it, thank you" Based in Littleport, England (20 miles from Cambridge) Michael Sheridan - Birthday party Photo of The Krakens The Krakens "From start to finish we have nothing but praise for The Krakens. Chris was quick to respond to my enquiry looking for a band to play at a 30th birthday party and kept in touch from then on. We were sent a varied list of songs to choose from; a mix of rock/pop both modern and classic. Once the booking was confirmed they asked us if there was anything we wanted added to the list and they would learn them for the evening! On the night the band turned up on time, and set up (and packed up) without any bother. Their performance was totally satisfactory, two excellent one-hour sets which included our requested numbers. Everyone agreed that The Krakens were a friendly, “tight” band that performed with confidence and professionalism which made our night that bit special. Would definitely recommend them!" Based in Bedford, England (25 miles from Cambridge) 17th April 2026 Paul A - 30th Birthday Photo of King Konga - Percussionist & DJ King Konga - Percussionist & DJ "What a fantastic duo! They were excellent from the start, helping us create the vibe we wanted for our wedding. My husband and were blown away by how they interacted with the crowd, knowing exactly when to play what songs for that moment’s vibe. The dancefloor was never empty. Music has always been important to us, and I can honestly say Si and Andy made our wedding day. I have already had friends from our wedding who work within the hospitality industry ask for their details as they are a well-rounded band and make any song memorable. We highly recommend and will be booking again for future events." Based in Bedford, England (25 miles from Cambridge) Karri - Wedding (DJ, sax and percussion duo)

Frequently asked questions

Hiring party bands typically costs between £180 and £2,550+, with an average of £800. The price is driven primarily by the number of band members, performance duration and whether the act includes extras such as DJ sets between live music, lighting or staging. Party bands range from lean four-piece outfits to large ensembles with horn sections and backing vocalists.

The party bands for hire play a broad mix of crowd-pleasing music including pop, rock, soul, funk, disco, Motown, hip hop and current chart hits. The focus is on well-known, danceable songs that appeal to a wide audience and keep the party atmosphere going.

Hiring party bands is one of the most popular entertainment choices for weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, festivals and private celebrations. A live party band brings energy, interaction and showmanship that take any event beyond what a DJ or playlist can deliver.

A typical party band booking covers two to three hours, usually divided into two or three sets with short breaks. Larger party bands with bigger line-ups often deliver a more high-energy show with audience interaction between songs. It is worth discussing the event timeline with the band to agree on the best format.

The party bands on Gig Heaven range from compact three or four-piece groups to larger ensembles with horn sections, backing singers and additional musicians. A bigger line-up creates a more powerful sound for large venues and events. Many bands offer flexible line-up options to suit different budgets.

Most party bands are self-contained and provide their own PA system, instruments, stage lighting and DJ equipment for use between sets. For very large venues or outdoor stages, additional sound and lighting may be required. It is a good idea to confirm all technical details before booking.
