“This band were so incredibly accommodating from the start. They offered to play our first dance song live since it was a track they loved, and they did such an amazing job of translating a complex orchestral arrangement into sounds by a 3-person band. It was so, so beautiful. And they seemed just as...”

Your Guide To Live Band Hire Shropshire
Everything You Need To Know About Bands To Hire In Shropshire
Shropshire function bands offer comprehensive packages for your event, including essential equipment like a PA system and often, stage lighting, ensuring a memorable live performance.
Typically, Shropshire bands deliver two sets lasting 60 minutes each, accompanied by a specially curated playlist of party or background music played through their PA system during breaks.
The average fee for hiring Shropshire bands is calculated from a start time of 6pm to midnight, but the schedule is flexible to suit your specific needs. Some bands are willing to accommodate special song requests, including learning and performing a unique first dance song at weddings.
Additionally, many Shropshire bands offer extra services beyond their standard offerings. These may include options to expand the band with additional members, DJ packages, live jazz or acoustic sets for a drinks reception, upgraded PA systems and lighting setups, photo booths, and illuminated letter displays. These added features ensure a complete party entertainment experience for your event.
Shropshire bands also provide certifications for Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) and Public Liability Insurance.
When you book through Alive Network, you'll receive personalised support from your dedicated entertainment coordinator, a secure contract for peace of mind, and 24/7 emergency assistance in case of unforeseen circumstances such as accidents or illness.
In 2025, the average cost for Shropshire bands hovered around £1,932, though this can vary based on factors like band size, performance length, travel distance, and skill level.
Bands from outside Shropshire may charge more due to travel time, fuel costs, and accommodation needs. Within our selection, Shropshire function bands offer diverse pricing, ranging from £327 to £25,365 for top-tier show bands.
Wedding bookings during peak summer Saturdays typically command higher rates compared to casual live music nights at local venues on weekdays. Pricing is influenced by seasonal demand and the specific entertainment requested.
For budget-conscious planning, consider hiring smaller acts like solo vocalists, singer-guitarists, pianists, duos, or trios. Many bands provide DJ services or curated playlists during breaks, potentially eliminating the need for a separate DJ. Quartets, reminiscent of The Beatles, are a popular choice among clients.
For accommodating a four-piece function band adequately, it's recommended to have a venue space measuring approximately five metres wide and four metres deep. This space should comfortably fit the band's instruments, amplifiers, musicians, as well as their PA system and stage lighting. Additionally, having at least two double plug sockets nearby is essential for efficient power supply to their equipment.
In the case of outdoor performances, it's vital to provide robust overhead and side protection for the performance area to shield the equipment from harsh weather conditions like strong winds and rainfall, ensuring everything remains dry and secure.
It's customary to provide refreshments for the band, and if feasible, they would appreciate access to a secure and private area for their preparations.
Shropshire function bands showcase a diverse repertoire spanning various musical styles, featuring lively and popular tunes from different decades, starting from the 1950s up to contemporary hits. Their performances are renowned for their dynamic energy, appealing to guests of all ages and fostering a vibrant atmosphere conducive to dancing.
Each Shropshire band's profile page presents a selection of songs they cover, encompassing tracks from a wide array of artists like The Killers, Harry Styles, Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, The Weeknd, Taylor Swift, Adele, Arctic Monkeys, Beyoncé, Oasis, Coldplay, Kings of Leon, The Jam, Bryan Adams, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, and Chuck Berry, among others.
In addition to delivering classic rock and pop hits, these bands demonstrate versatility by performing popular songs across various music genres, including alternative rock, contemporary British music, folk-inspired by Mumford & Sons, funk, soul & Motown, R&B, and rock 'n' roll. They possess the adaptability to deliver exceptional performances across a wide musical spectrum, ensuring an unforgettable experience for your guests on the dance floor!
While jazz ensembles have their distinct style, many live bands in Shropshire are flexible enough to incorporate various jazz elements upon request.
Most Shropshire bands welcome the opportunity for you to select songs from their extensive repertoire, and many are open to special requests or learning and performing a unique first dance song tailored specifically for your event.
Typically, it's not viable to experience a live performance by the band before confirming your booking, unless you've seen them perform at a previous event. High-quality party bands in Shropshire generally don't showcase their talents at public venues or pubs, and it wouldn't be practical for us to extend invitations to private events hosted by other clients. However, you can delve into testimonials from previous clients on each band's profile page, browse through event photos, and watch videos of their performances. We're committed to sourcing the finest local bands in Shropshire, ensuring an exceptional evening of entertainment that you can trust without reservation.
