Should I book a live band for my Christmas party?
Everything you need to know when booking a band for your Christmas party
With winter creeping up on us, you'll most likely be beginning to organise your Christmas or New Year’s Eve party (and if you're not, you probably should be!) Whether you’ve been left with the responsibility of arranging a Christmas work do or the ultimate New Year’s Eve party, don't worry - we're here to help!
When is the best time to book?
It's always best to book your Christmas entertainment as early as possible. Live bands and singers are in extremely high demand for the Christmas period so leaving it too late could leave you with very little to no options on entertainment.
We would recommend booking your Christmas and New Year's Eve entertainment around 6 months in advance to ensure you secure your desired dates.
How much will it cost?
Act fees vary all year round depending on a number of different factors, including how many musicians are in the line-up, the distance the band will need to travel, how popular the band are... and in this case especially, the event date.
Due to high demand in the Christmas period, act fees may be higher than usual. This is definitely the case for any New Year's Eve or Christmas Eve bookings.

What type of bands are best for Christmas parties?
At any Christmas party, you'll likely have a very mixed crowd of people in attendance. We'd always recommend a good mixed covers band as they'll perform something for everyone. We work with a variety of different party bands who perform everything from modern pop hits to 70s and 80s belters, these bands particularly do well for corporate and family functions with diverse audiences in attendance.
