Latest reviews of our Christmas Party Function Bands in Northern Ireland

Twist of Rock : Signature Party Band
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"Just brilliant, they helped make my 40th birthday party the party event of the year. . Before the event I spoke regularly with David, and we put together a playlist. All the band were at the venue with loads of time, so set up and sound check was all done before guests arrived. And then they blew everyone away. Despite watching the videos, I was nervous booking a band online, but I didn’t need to be. They are incredibly talented musicians, the range of songs they performed was excellent, providing something for everyone. Every single person at my party commented how great they were. Had a great chat with the band, and they’re all genuinely lovely people who all wanted to make sure the night was one for everyone to remember. They went the extra mile personalising the night for me. The only problem now is how jealous my friends are that my party was better than theirs. I would 100% recommend Twist of Rock for any event you’re planning. "

FAQs about hiring Christmas Party Function bands in Northern Ireland

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore

What kind of performance should I expect from a function band?

Good question! There are essentially three types of function band performances: headline, background, and roaming. Headline bands are the most common; perfect for filling the dancefloor and getting the crowd moving. Background function bands are usually jazz bands - they can provide a great ambience for whatever event you might have in mind. Roaming bands are great for outdoor weddings or events where you want the band to get around to all the guests and provide a bit of audience interaction. Roaming bands are only possible as an acoustic act, so they come cord-free!

Will function bands take song requests?

Yes - but always best to ask well in advance! Most bands will be very accomodating if you've asked them to play a few special requests. Function bands are also usually very experienced, so requests on the night aren't out-of-the-question either (just don't be upset if they aren't keen to play all 23 minutes of Echoes by Pink Floyd!).

Will the function band provide all their own equipment?

Yes - most function bands will be fully equipped with their own PA system, music gear, and usually even lighting! Many will also provide a sound assistant, as well as a DJ service. A DJ service will keep the music going while the band take short breaks, but is also perfect add-on if you and your guests want to boogie into the far-reaches of the night!
