Christmas party Function Bands for hire in Portsmouth
Latest reviews of our Christmas Party Function Bands in Portsmouth
"We had an incredible experience with the band for our event. They were brilliant in responding to all our questions, and really helped in keeping the planning as simple as possible. The band arrived on time, and got themselves without any input from us. They were super friendly and personable, but most importantly got everyone up and dancing! They are very professional and great entertainers, they did not miss a single beat, and have a brilliant range in their repertoire to keep audiences of all ages enjoying themselves. Thank you so much for everything and I hope we get the opportunity to have you play for us again!"

Derek hired The Graduates (available in Portsmouth)
"The Icono Band gave us a wedding party beyond our expectations. They were all amazing and the lead singer Emily was particularly fantastic, especially as she’s not part of the band's usual band line-up. They played all the songs we asked for, but we weren’t expecting all the interaction (and sax serenading!) which was a brilliant bonus. Honestly, we were blown away. All our guests were raving about the band the next morning and asking us where we'd found them. We’ll be recommending The Icono Band to everyone we know."

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!
