Bands for Birthday Parties

Picking a band for the room

• Function room or club: A four-piece such as Maxed Out, who arrange every song to keep people dancing.
• Smaller venue: A party duo such as Busta Groove gives a full-band sound with two performers, or the vocal harmony duo S!REN.
• Themed birthdays: Angelettes for a Motown night, or The New Triple X for 60s to present-day rock and pop.

Space and power

A band needs a lot more room than a solo singer. Measure the stage area and check with the venue for a sound limiter, which can rule out a full drum kit. Bands also need set-up time, usually before guests arrive.

Get the timings right

Two sets of 45 to 60 minutes is common. Plan the cake and speeches between sets, and ask whether the band provides a DJ playlist to fill the breaks.
