If you’re not quite sure where to start with finding the perfect entertainment for your event, then we’re here to help. Here’s answers to some of our most frequently asked questions...
Roaming bands in the North West can be hired from the UK's leading live music agency, Tailored Entertainment. We exclusively represent the region's best wandering acoustic acts, serving Manchester, Liverpool, Cheshire and the Lake District. On this website, you'll find videos, photos, and repertoire for acts based right here in the North West. When hiring with us, your booking is secured by a professional contract between you and the act for total peace of mind.
Prices for a professional 3-piece roaming band in the North West typically start at around £1,020 to £1,820. Prices vary depending on the number of musicians (adding sax or percussion, for example) and travel distance. Our quotes are fully inclusive of travel to your venue and our local acts will travel to parts of Greater Manchester, Merseyside and Lancashire within their standard fee.
Our roaming bands typically perform 3 x 30-minute, 2 x 60 or 3 x 40-minute sets as standard. This timing is designed to perfectly bridge the gap during a drinks reception, provide an immersive experience during a wedding breakfast, or kick-start a corporate networking event.
One of the best things about hiring a roaming band for a North West event is that they are almost always fully acoustic. This means they don't require mains power, cables or a bulky PA system. They are the ideal solution for venues with strict noise limiters or outdoor spaces like Cheshire garden marquees and Lake District lakeside receptions where power access is limited.
Yes! Mobility is their biggest strength. They can perform outside for a sunny drinks reception and then lead your guests into a different room or floor for dinner. Whether your event is at a sprawling manor house or a multi-room city venue in Manchester’s Northern Quarter, the band can easily follow the flow of your party.
Very little. Unlike a traditional stage band, a roaming band mingles with your guests. They don't need a designated 'stage area,' making them perfect for intimate North West venues, crowded bars or restaurants where floor space is at a premium.
Yes, our bands are happy to arrange a special request for you. Since they perform acoustically, they will re-imagine your chosen song to work without backing tracks or electric instruments. Whether it's a specific song for your first dance or a brand-relevant track for a Liverpool docklands launch, just let us know in advance so the band has time to rehearse.
As our roaming bands primarily perform at private weddings and exclusive corporate functions, we generally cannot invite the public to view them live. However, each band has high-quality video footage on their profile, filmed specifically to give you an accurate insight into their live sound and interactive performance style.
