If you're not quite sure where to start with finding the perfect live music or entertainment for your event, then we're here to help. Here are answers to some of our most frequently asked questions...
Roaming bands in the South 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 Bristol, Bath, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall. On this website, you'll find videos, photos and repertoire for acts based right here in the South 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 South West typically start at around £1,500. Prices vary depending on the number of musicians (adding sax or percussion, for example) and travel distance. Our quotes are fully inclusive of travel across Avon, Somerset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire and will also include any Clean Air Zone charges for events in central Bristol or Bath.
Our roaming bands typically perform 3 x 30-minute 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 South 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 outdoor spaces like Cotswold garden marquees or coastal venues in Devon or Cornwall where power access is limited. Some acts travel with small battery-powered amps to subtly enhance the sound.
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 Bristol, 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 South 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. 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.
