Roaming Bands
Unlike 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. The band can provide 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 different genres, from roaming folk bands to vintage and indie bands, acoustic and pop, and even a roaming jazz band– whatever you require in a roaming band, we can help! Carefully chosen and expertly vetted for their showmanship and quality, our roaming bands are professionals who you can rely on to put on an amazing performance for your wedding our event. 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.

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! Cover bands like soul & Motown need a stage to perform on requiring plenty of space for their instruments etc. 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.
