Roaming Bands
HomeUnlike traditional acoustic artists who set up their gear with their PA in one area of a venue, our mobile acoustic roaming bands are free to roam unamplified from one location to the next, providing table-to-table entertainment and engaging your guests more interactively. This kind of band is usually known as roaming bands or sometimes strolling or wandering bands.
Our selection is the best roaming bands for hire that includes incredibly talented and professional musicians in a range of genres, from roaming folk bands to roaming, vintage and rock bands, acoustic and pop, and even a roaming jazz band– whatever you are looking for in a roaming band, Music8 Agency can help! Carefully chosen and expertly vetted for quality, reliability, and showmanship, our roaming bands are professionals who you can rely on to be there on time, soundcheck quickly and efficiently, and put on an unforgettable show. When you hire a roaming band, they will not just stand on stage, their specialty is getting in among the guests and adapting to the event as it unfolds, keeping your guests entertained, and making sure everyone enjoys the show, whether you hire a roaming band for weddings, a function, party, or corporate events.
You can read reviews by people who have watched our roaming and wandering bands play before (including brides, grooms, and organisers) by going to the individual band pages shown above, or watch the video compilations of the acoustic roaming bands to get an idea of what they sound like and how they perform. You cannot beat watching your potential band in action, hearing their voices and instruments, and really getting a feel for them, so we recommend watching before you book to make sure your roaming band is a good fit for your event!
Every roaming band page also has a repertoire of songs on it, to give you an idea of what the band plays and look for your favourites! At Music8 Agency, our live bands for hire play a variety of genres and styles, so make sure you look for one which fits the event you are planning to throw. You can get in touch to make requests of your bands, too, so you and your guests can dance the night away to your favourites, or make sure your first dance is to the song you have always wanted!

Looking for a Roaming Band for a Corporate Event?
A corporate event needs live music, and great music sometimes needs the freedom to roam around off the stage, explore the crowd and get reactions, and watching and listening to bands roaming will add something different to your event. That is why roaming bands for hire are always a favourite when it comes to a corporate event, with their genre versatility and adaptability making them a perfect fit for almost any corporate events, regardless of scale or tone. Do not take our word for it, though – You can search and watch a roaming band in action on their pages above, where you will find videos of them playing a wide range of songs, so you can see for yourself what they are like before you choose which one would suit your event best. A Roaming New Orleans band is also a great option for a corporate event along with Mariachi bands bringing their blend of music to the event. Check out our Mariachi Bands page for more information.

OUR FAQ
What is the Difference Between Roaming Bands and Conventional Bands?
A roaming band has one main difference to our conventional bands that sets it apart, and it’s right there in the name – these bands can get down off the stage and wander through the crowd! This makes them much more suited to events with small venues or venues which have no stage or performance space; they are able to roam freely and make use of any organic spaces, finding the best places to play and providing great music while they do it! Check out the videos of our roaming bands above, or give us a call to find out more about booking yours for the big event!
Are Roaming Bands a Suitable Wedding Band?
All the Music8 professional roaming bands are experienced in playing weddings and large events, and we are happy to say that our roaming bands are particularly well-suited to the job! If you are having your drinks reception outside, for instance, with a roaming band you do not have a pa system to set up so they can perform anywhere any place. This makes our acoustic bands perfect for wandering around outside for drinks receptions. They will bring that party atmosphere to your occasion encouraging your guests to join in the fun. If you require a function band then check out our live bands for hire covering music from every genre.
What Should I Look Out For When Booking Roaming Wedding Bands?
We know how important it is to have everything go perfectly on the big day – and our roaming wedding bands have played enough weddings to be familiar with the snags that can drag performance down on the day. If you cannot choose your wedding band, either through time or having too much else to do to prepare for the wedding, then we’re happy to do it for you! If you are choosing your wedding band here are a few pointers to look out for before booking a roaming band.
Where they are based: roaming bands may roam, but usually that just means around the venue or outside– make sure that the acoustic band you have chosen can make it to your venue on the day! We can provide bands all across the UK, so just let us know where you need the band!
What they can play: our roaming bands range from folk and pop bands to a jazz band, or even a mariachi band, so you are bound to find something you and your audience will love! To make this easier, we have included the standard repertoires of all of our roaming wedding bands on their pages, which you can find above, but they can also learn requests. If you have fallen in love with one of our roaming bands, but they are missing a few of your favourite tunes, just ask! When it comes to live music these bands never disappoint.
What they sound like: how does the band sound? Sometimes, whether we adore or dislike a band comes down to little things like instrument tone and vocal style, so make sure you listen to all your prospective bands before you make your booking. To make this easier, we have put videos of every band on their pages, which you can find above – you can watch them play a medley of songs across a range of styles and watch them move, interact and perform.
Can they be relied on: At Music8 Agency, the answer is always YES. Our bands are hand-picked professionals chosen for talent and flair, but also reliability and professionalism. Whichever acoustic band you choose, you can trust that we will do our utmost to make your day a fantastic one.

Can I Listen To The Roaming Bands Here Before I Choose?
Of course, you can! How else would you get a feel for what they’re like? All of our roaming bands pages have a showreel on their dedicated pages, so feel free to not only listen but see them perform! You can not choose an acoustic roaming band with confidence unless you have watched them perform, so make sure you watch the videos, especially if you are booking a roaming band for a wedding! Go take a look at the showreels for any of the bands you fancy, and then feel free to send us a message on our Contact Us page or give us a ring on 07758116749 to make your booking – but don not hang around too long, these roaming bands for hire book up fast!
Do I Need to Provide Anything for the Musicians?
Your musicians and singers would appreciate some refreshments during the event or wedding reception, like tea, coffee or soft drinks. Check that they can park their vehicles as close to the venue as possible to save time unloading and offloading their equipment.
What is the Cost to Hire a Roaming Band?
Prices vary according to the distance they have to travel and the number of musicians in the band. An average price for a trio would be around £900- £1250 for a wedding reception and a 4 or 5-piece band from £1500 -£2200. A Mariachi band can start from around £600 for a trio but, a number of musicians can be added. Feel free to contact us for a free quote at any time.
What Happens if a Band Member Cannot Make the Event?
All our bands will have a deputy musician to cover any band member that is unable to make the day of the event or wedding through illness or for any over reason.
How Long Do They Perform?
A roaming band will perform for either 2 x 45 mins or 2 x 60 mins with a break in between. Feel free to contact us if you are looking for something different. The bonus with a roaming band is if you book them for drinks receptions for example, they can exchange their acoustic guitars and swap them for electric guitars and perform at your evening reception bringing a high-energy performance to ensure the dance floor is full all night.
PLI Certification
All roaming bands have public liability insurance (PLI)
