Yes - our party bands regularly travel to perform at parties right across the UK and abroad.

On every New Forest party band’s profile, you’ll find their specific repertoire of party band music. We suggest that you take their repertoire into consideration when booking your party band, and make sure that you like plenty of the songs on their list. When you book your act, we’ll ask you to go through this list and highlight your favourites, so the band can keep those in mind when putting the sets together for your big night. You can also use this time to identify any songs you wouldn’t like to hear, too.

All our professional New Forest party bands also offer to learn one special request (a song not listed on their repertoire) as standard with your booking.

The short answer is yes, you absolutely can book a great band if your venue has a noise limiter. Most of our professional New Forest party bands are able to perform within the restrictions of a sound limiter and your experience will be the same as at a venue without one. We have a few bands - mainly the club anthems style, whose music may not be suitable depending on the individual venue restrictions. Please contact us to chat further if your venue has a sound limiter as we'll likely have experience of working at your chosen venue.
