Luxury Showband Hire FAQs

Got questions about hiring a premium Luxury Showband? Our expert answers below will guide you through booking the ultimate world-class entertainment!

Contact Us

Where can I hire Luxury Showbands in the UK?

Hire premium Showbands through Tailored Entertainment, a trusted UK live music agency. We represent the UK’s most elite ensembles, with booking details available on our website. Every booking is secured by a formal contract, typically requiring a 20% deposit to confirm, with the balance due 28 days before your event. Our Showbands perform nationwide, often travelling internationally for luxury events.

How much does it cost to hire a Luxury Showband?

Prices start at around £4,000 for our typical 8-10 piece line-ups, reflecting the investment in multiple world-class musicians, a dedicated sound engineer and extensive production. Our flexible line-ups begin with 5 or 6-piece options. Costs vary based on the final lineup size (e.g., 5-piece DJ Live vs. 15-piece ensemble) and specific event requirements.

What makes a Showband different from a regular party band?

Showbands are built for spectacle and luxury. They feature large line-ups (often 8+ members) with multiple vocalists and a full brass section, allowing them to perform complex musical arrangements and choreographed shows. Their performance is designed to deliver a continuous, high-impact "show" that features performer interaction and the energy seen in the viral videos of The Function Band.

Is a Showband suitable for smaller party venues?

Yes. While Showbands require more space, they are accustomed to performing in high-end venues, luxury hotels and large marquees. Our production is scalable and our team can coordinate directly with your venue to ensure they have adequate power and space to deliver the full spectacle safely.

How far in advance should I book a Showband?

We recommend booking your Showband 12 to 24 months in advance. Due to the size of the lineup and the high demand for premium acts, the best Showbands are often the first acts to be fully booked, especially for weekend dates.

Does the Showband cover a wide range of music?

Yes, absolutely. A Showband's repertoire is designed to appeal to everyone. They seamlessly transition between Motown classics, Funk, Soul, 80s Pop, Rock & Roll and modern Dance/Pop hits, ensuring the electric energy is maintained for all age groups, all night long.

Can we add a roaming set to welcome our guests?

Yes, this is a popular luxury extra! Many of our Showbands offer an additional roaming set performed by a small selection of their musicians. This is perfect for getting the party started during the drinks reception or up close and personal around your tables during dinner.

What kind of equipment and staff do they provide?

Showbands are fully self-contained. They include premium sound systems, sophisticated lighting rigs and a professional sound engineer to guarantee world-class sound quality throughout the night.
