With two vocalists and a 4 piece horn section, they played a 50th birthday party and had everyone on their feet. The band is tight and energetic, and their repertoire spans a wide range of genres." Based in Leicester, England David and Susan Browning - 50th Birthday Party Photo of HiFi Driveby HiFi Driveby "Can't recommend this band enough! We booked hifidriveby for our fundraising dinner dance and we had an amazing night. They turned up on time, setup quickly and played so many of my favourite songs that my feet hurt from dancing. they even held a dance off. Obviously the girls won. Will definitely be booking them for our Christmas party."

They came an hour earlier for set up, were proffessional and easy going. Started with mellow songs and in an hour got everybody from kids to 70+ year olds dancing to the funky notes.

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.
