Function bands in Leeds
What to expect from function bands
Function bands in Leeds are professional live acts hired for private and corporate events, typically covering well-known songs across pop, rock, soul, funk, and current chart material. Most bands offer a structured evening: background music while guests arrive, one to three live sets, and optional recorded music between sets.
Line-up: Common formats include 3–6 musicians (for example vocals, guitar, bass, drums, and keys), with larger options adding brass or multiple vocalists.
Suitable occasions in Leeds
Function bands work well in venues across the city centre and surrounding areas, from hotels and banquet suites to converted mills and university spaces. They are commonly booked for:
- Weddings and civil partnerships
- Corporate parties, award nights, and product events
- Birthday celebrations and anniversaries
- Charity dinners and fundraising events
- Seasonal events such as Christmas parties
Practical details for planners
Budgeting is usually driven by band size, performance time, date, and travel/logistics.
Price range: For Leeds, many function bands fall roughly between £800 and £2,500, with premium or larger ensembles higher, especially on peak summer weekends and December dates.
Equipment: Bands often supply a PA system suitable for 80–250 guests, basic stage lighting, microphones, and a small mixing desk.
Power: Expect to need at least one reliable mains circuit near the performance area; larger line-ups may request two separate circuits.
Space: A 4-piece typically needs around 3m x 4m, while 6+ musicians may need 5m x 6m or more.
Booking considerations
Confirm the running order early, including speeches, meal service, and venue sound limits.
Set length: Many bands offer 2 × 60 minutes or 3 × 40 minutes, with flexible timing.
Setup and soundcheck: Allow 60–120 minutes, plus access for loading.
Music requests: Many bands learn one first-dance or feature song if requested in advance; extra bespoke songs may add a fee.
Contracts and payments: Expect a deposit to secure the date, a written agreement covering cancellation terms, and final payment due shortly before the event. If your venue uses in-house AV, check compatibility and who provides the sound engineer.
FAQ
How far in advance should I book?
For Saturdays between May and September and for December dates, booking 6–12 months ahead is common. For midweek events, 2–6 months may be sufficient.
Do function bands provide a DJ service?
Many offer a “DJ playlist” add-on, meaning curated background music through their PA before, between, and after sets. This is not the same as a separate DJ, so clarify hosting and mixing expectations.
Can a band perform at venues with sound limiters?
Often yes, but it requires planning. Share the limiter details in advance so the band can adjust the setup and manage volume during the performance.
What information should I give the band before confirming?
Provide venue address – including loading access, event timings – guest arrival and curfew, guest count – approximate numbers, and performance area – dimensions and power availability.
Are there extra costs beyond the quoted fee?
Sometimes. Common additions include late finish requests, additional musicians, extra lighting, learning multiple custom songs, or parking and accommodation if access times are restricted or the event runs very late.
