Music has the power to move people — emotionally and on the dance floor. If you’re planning to hire a wedding band for your big day, both of these are areas to focus on.
And if you need a bit of inspiration, here are some of our favourite wedding bands to consider:
End-of-year uni celebration, work Christmas do, or charity fundraiser… Whatever the occasion, hiring a party or function band is a surefire way to entertain your guests. With so many genres available, there’s a function band for every occasion, so let’s explore some of the talented artists in our catalogue.
We can't recommend The Hamptons enough for fans of disco, soul, and Motown. This party band is available to hire across all regions in the North and can perform in Scotland, too.
Since starting out performing weekly at a venue in Chester, the six-piece collective has delighted audiences across the country. These artists are poised and ready to showcase your favourite hits from Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, and many more iconic musicians.
If you’re looking to hire a band for a festival, corporate event, or private function, Celtic Man is another excellent choice. The high-energy, female-fronted band plays crowd-pleasing pop and rock tunes from across the decades.
Plus, you can combine Celtic Man with our DJ hire service to keep the party going!
For the ultimate party vibe, and an event where the dance floor is always full, House of Sax will provide an entertainment experience like no other. With House of Sax you can customise your performance line up, with one of our DJs accompanied by a live vocalist and percussion.
Are you putting on an event with a specific theme? What better way to bring a decade or genre’s spirit to life than with a cover band or tribute act?
Cover band hire is easy with AMV Live Music. Here are just a few of the incredible acts we have available to book:
Perhaps you’re in need of an elegant soundtrack for a celebration. From weddings to awards ceremonies, classical music can be the perfect balance of easy-going and sophisticated.
We mentioned Aurora Strings, a quartet offering a beautiful sound that’s perfect for wedding ceremonies. Armstrong Quartet is another string quartet of classically trained musicians available to hire for functions and celebrations — from corporate events to formal dinners. These four artists provide an elegant sound and can even arrange a custom piece of music to make your event truly special.
For a smaller venue, you might like to hire a duo rather than a full band. Take a look at Abbey Strings, two skilful violinists who create an impactful sound and can tailor their musical services to suit your needs.
