Ashlin hired Sham Radio (80s V 90s tribute and party band) for a Charity event (available in Leicester)
"Absolutely blumming brilliant! Everyone was commenting on how good you were & where I found you so lots of high praise. You were all so friendly & professional but also accommodating and approachable. Was really easy to communicate with & not a stress or problem in sight. May not have been the crowds your probably used to but please be assured you were very much enjoyed and appreciated and really brought the party so thank you so much. Thanks also for our wedding dance, not your usual repertoire but the fact that you performed it yourself was appreciated and gave us a really special memory we will keep in our hearts forever. A lot of our guests couldn’t make the event due to the dreaded neurovirus bug & it even hit myself and my husband a few days before the wedding as well as most of the wedding party so the wedding itself very nearly didn’t happen at all. Fortunately those who did make it and managed to stay until the end thoroughly loved and enjoyed your music and we managed to muster up a loyal group on the dance floor which I hope showed at least some of our appreciation to you. I particularly was so excited to have you at our celebration and I was not disappointed, you played all my faves and despite the lack of people you still gave us your best so thank you for that. We would have no hesitation in recommending you or booking you again for future celebrations & I know everyone including my bridesmaid who is a local radio DJ was very impressed and has already mentioned you on her show so the high praise continues. Thanks again, you are stars & you made our celebration one of fun, dancing, great music, great personality and wonderful memories to keep. Our love and appreciation goes to you x"

FAQs about hiring Party bands in Leicester
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
How do you hire a band for a party?
Hiring a band for your party is simple with Encore Musicians. Start by browsing our wide range of professional bands, from pop covers and soul groups to rock, jazz, or acoustic duos. You can filter by location, genre, and budget to find acts that fit your event perfectly. Once you’ve found a few options you like, send them an enquiry with your event details - date, venue, and any special requests. Bands will respond quickly with tailored quotes so you can compare prices, setlists, and reviews before booking. When you’re ready to confirm, you can book securely through Encore with full payment protection and direct contact with the band to finalise timings, setup, and song requests.
What is a party band?
A party band is a live musical group specifically designed to entertain and energise audiences at social events and parties. Unlike traditional bands, their repertoire focuses on upbeat, danceable music spanning various genres, ensuring a lively atmosphere. Party bands often perform popular hits, engaging the crowd with interactive performances to get your guests dancing and keep the dance floor packed. Their goal is to create a fun and celebratory ambience, making them a popular choice for weddings, corporate events, and christmas parties.
How much space does a party band need?
A minimum of 5 x 3 metres would be required for a six-piece band. Remember that a live party band will have to fit the PA, monitors, lighting, guitar amps, drums, and keyboards in addition to the people.
How long will the party band play for?
Generally, professional party bands perform two 1-hour sets or three 40-minute sets, with a 15- to 30-minute break in between. Your band will also require around one hour for setup and soundcheck.
How far in advance should I book a party band?
The best time to book is as soon as possible, especially if you have special musical requests, but Encore handles last-minute bookings all the time and can easily find a function band if you need one quickly.
Do I have to pay for my party band's travel?
Hiring a band for a party with Encore is easy since all fees (travel, VAT, and other expenses) are included in the quote. Besides the Basic Protection package (full refund in the unlikely event that a musician cancels), Encore Cover is the only additional add-on fee we offer. As well as your basic protection (full refund in the unlikely event of a musician cancellation), you'll get tailored replacement searches, out-of-hours support, and if the replacement act costs more than the original musician booked, we'll pay for it. As such, you can have complete peace of mind you will have the perfect entertainment for your event. We always recommend considering local bands first because fees will be lower the closer they are to your chosen venue.
Does my party band need insurance?
The venue might require that your band has PLI (Public Liability Insurance). Your PLI protects another person's or their property from damage during your event. All of Encore's party bands with PLI will have a badge on their profile, so it's easy to find and book them.
