Photo of Le Freak! Le Freak! "We managed to secure Le Freak four days before our 30th birthday party and I’m so glad we did. They were amazing! They looked fantastic, sang fantastic and just had everyone up on the dance floor. Their songs were classic party songs with a range of well known songs. We couldn’t have asked for a better band. Would highly recommend. Thank you so much 💜" Based in Portsmouth, England Katie Scarlett Denial - 30th Birthday Party Photo of Lounge pianist Lounge pianist "Excellent. - Highly professional . Communicated well before and throughout the event. Great pianist. Would recommend" Based in Portsmouth, England Jack E. - Party Photo of Debbie C - Professional vocalist Debbie C - Professional vocalist "Debbie C was absolutely amazing and provided a great playlist for our party. From the jazz and swing and the start, to the floor fillers later (once the champagne had been quaffed!) she helped to make the night perfect and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to everyone xx" Based in Southsea, England (1 mile from Portsmouth) Patricia M - 50th Wedding Anniversary Photo of Indigo Sky - Pop , Rock , Soul Band Indigo Sky - Pop , Rock , Soul Band "I saw Indigo Sky at an event and they were brilliant ! The singer had a fab voice and the song choice was great ! We all really enjoyed it ." Based in Fareham, England (5 miles from Portsmouth) Craig Mitchell - Private event Photo of Irish Frank Irish Frank "Frank Doherty and Ben Gunnery turned a family party into a proper ‘hooley’! From folk songs, to ballads, to the Siege of Ennis, they cranked up the volume when we wanted everyone up on the dance floor, but also allowed the fiddle, guitar and tin whistle to play quietly in the background when people wanted to sit & talk. Two very good Irish musicians; well-played lads ‘go raibh mait agat’!" Based in Fareham, England (5 miles from Portsmouth) Margaret Brookling Photo of 80's Inferno 80's Inferno "We booked Abba Inferno and 80s Inferno as a package for our Freshers event. The students loved it. Highly recommended.." Based in Chichester, England (14 miles from Portsmouth) CHARLIE S (He/Him) - Student union

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.
