“Bandit were brilliant - all members of the band were so friendly and made sure we had a fantastic wedding reception. Both sets were great, we really had an amazing time dancing with all our friends and family. They were punctual, professional, and so many of our guests came to specifically let us know how impressed they were with the band. And of course - the music was incredible! We would 100% recommend booking Bandit for your wedding - they were absolutely awesome! And we can only thank them so much for being such an amazing part of our wedding!”
Joe & Rebecca - Wedding, Walworth Castle Hotel, County Durham“The band were absolutely fantastic, we absolutely loved them! They kept the party going and everyone has commented on how good they were! They did an amazing version of the song we had chosen for our first dance (we’ve been watching videos and absolutely love their version!!). They were super friendly, and just seemed to be having the best time with us!”
Fiona & Andrew - Tithe Barn, North Yorkshire“Bandit were fantastic! They definitely got the vibe we were going with and gave a great performance to get everyone moving. All our guests were very happy.”
Benjamin & Rosalind - Wedding, Millenium Gallery, South Yorkshire“Bandit were absolutely amazing at our wedding. They arrived early to set up and sound check, they played our requested first dance beautifully and the dance floor was full all night! They played an incredible set list and were just absolutely great. They were a lovely bunch too and made sure everything was perfect for us - we enjoyed it so much we need another event to book you for!!”
Christopher & Genevieve - Wedding, Brinkburn Priory, Northumberland“Bandit were amazing - they did a great rendition for our first dance song. Really good repertoire for a wedding with a range of ages, and their style suited our wedding perfectly. A lot of the guests commented on how good they thought the band was and their song choices. Thank you for helping our day be amazing!!”
John - Wedding, Askham Hall, Cumbria“Bandit were absolutely fantastic. Such a friendly group of people and brilliant at what they do. We have had so many of our guests say how brilliant the band was! They played a perfect mixture of songs, I don't think the dance floor was ever empty. Thank you to the band and wider team for everything!”
Naomi & David - Wedding, The Saddle Room Restaurant“Brilliant experience with both Bandit and Tailored, we would choose Bandit again any day.”
Maria & Mark - Wedding, Town Head Estate, Cumbria“Band members and staff were very professional throughout, and communication with staff and band was excellent throughout. During the event the band's entertainment value and quality of music was excellent. The fact the people stayed on the dance floor throughout the performance speaks for itself. Both Jill and I were very please with Bandit and the feedback from our guests was entirely positive, thanks a lot for helping to make our event a success!”
Alois - Wedding, Sefton Park Palm House, Liverpool“The perfect function band, we have often recommended this band to bride and grooms and they are never disappointed, top quality!”
Romanby Golf & Country Club - Party“Awesome! The guys played for our wedding reception. They were super professional arrived early set up and sound check done. Played a good range of music to suit all our guests taste. Dancefloor was full all night. Thank you so much!”
Edd Craven- Wedding“What can I say, these guys are amazing. Such talented musicians who got our wedding guests up on their feet and dancing into the early hours.”
Victoria & Tim Burnsby - Wedding“Bandit is one of those bands you are unlikely to forget. They create a toetapping vibe that will have you singing and dancing their songs long after they’ve stopped playing. And while they are playing it is likely you will find yourself unable to sit still. The vocals and harmonies are as rich and rewarding as you will find anywhere and the sheer quality of their musicianship brings audiences to life.”
David Vachell - Party“I booked this band for two family weddings and, on both occasions, they were excellent. The dance floor was full from the moment they started. The band were very accommodating with the playlist suggestions. Both individually and as a band they are fantastic musicians.”
Alison Booth - Wedding
Absolutely! We have been performing at weddings and events for several years and have an infectious live show that guarantees a packed dance floor and a party that you and your guests will remember for years to come! Our repertoire features modern day dance floor fillers to your favourite guitar-driven anthems, so there's certainly something for everyone.
We are happy to perform one special request for you - for weddings this is usually the first dance. You can also let us know your top 10 preferences from the repertoire, as well as send up to 30 requests for the disco - so you can be sure to hear all your favourites on the evening.
60 minutes. If you are organising a wedding or event where the evening reception is in the same room as your meal, we often arrive to set-up while the room is turned around - we can have background music playing within around 30 minutes of load in.
At a time to suit your event, standard prices are for 2 hours of live music, any time between 7pm and midnight.
We perform 2 x 60-minute live sets (or 3 x 40 minutes) in the evening and also provide a pre-mixed disco (tailored to your tastes) before and after live sets, so your whole night of entertainment is covered in one booking.
Yes - we can perform a 1 x 60-minute full band acoustic set as an add-on, which is perfect for during drinks or dinner.
The pre-mixed DJ service is where the band put on a bespoke playlist (you can request up to 30 songs in advance for this) through the PA before and after their live sets. We do this at most events and it works great - the volume of the music would be the same as if you had a DJ.
If you upgrade to the live DJ service, you can still send over preferences in advance, but you will also have a band member selecting and mixing tracks live on the night, as well as taking requests. The DJ will be happy to make important announcements but they will not talk constantly over or between tracks (that's just not our style!). We also think it's important to say that the DJ won't have a separate DJ booth - they will set up in an appropriate space (ideally to the side of the stage) and the PA/lighting will be the same as what is being used by the band.
Yes – all included in the price. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.
The published guide price is based on our 4-piece line-up performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in Manchester. We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2 hour drive home, we charge a bit extra so we can book accommodation. For an accurate quote please contact us with your event date and venue details.
Yes, we regularly work at venues with noise limiters. We are happy to contact the venue in advance of the event to make sure we have all the required information to enable us to plan accordingly.
Yes.
Yes, as long as we have three weeks' notice we will learn the first dance of your choice.
We have played in some very small spaces, but ideally a minimum of around 2.5m x 5m.
2 x 13-amp sockets are fine for our system.
The band's standard rider is for a hot meal and soft drinks for the band members or a £25 pp rider buyout.
As a professional function band our bookings tend to be weddings and private events that unfortunately we are unable to invite guests to. Our videos are a very accurate insight into our look and sound, and we'd also encourage you to check out our testimonials page to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the band.
