Party Band for Hire (The Kind That Actually Gets People Dancing)

If you’re searching for a party band for hire, chances are you don’t want background music.
You want energy. Movement. Hands in the air. A dancefloor that fills early and stays busy all night.

Good news. You’re in exactly the right place.

We’re Funk City Band. A high-energy live party band that’s been turning events into proper parties since 2004. From private celebrations to corporate blowouts and everything in between, we know how to read a room and push it in the right direction.

What Makes a Great Party Band?

Let’s be honest. Not all party bands are created equal.

A great party band for hire doesn’t just play songs. They manage the energy in the room. They know when to build, when to drop a big chorus, and when to keep things rolling without killing the vibe.

We interact. We move. We step off the stage when it works. Wireless mics, crowd moments, singalongs that start accidentally and end loudly.

It’s controlled chaos. In the best possible way. We want YOU to have a good time. We bring our party to you. 

Flexible Line-Ups to Suit Your Party

Every party is different, so we don’t force you into a one-size-fits-all setup.

As a party band for hire, we offer multiple line-ups depending on your space, guest numbers and how big you want the sound to feel.

• 3-piece party band – compact, punchy, perfect for tighter spaces
• 4-piece party band – balanced, powerful and hugely popular
• 7-piece party band – full horn section, maximum impact

All line-ups feature live drums, bass, guitar and vocals.
Our larger bands add saxophone and trumpet for that big, brassy, festival-style lift.

Same quality. Same songs. Same energy. Just scaled to suit your event.

The Music That Keeps the Dancefloor Full

The music is where everything either works… or falls apart.

Our sets are built around songs people actually love. Pop hits, Motown classics, funk, soul, indie anthems, sing-along favourites and upbeat crowd-pleasers that span generations.

We don’t lock ourselves into rigid setlists. We read the room in real time and adapt.
If the dancefloor wants more energy, we give it. If it needs a breather before another lift, we know when to ease off.

You can see exactly how this looks in real life on our videos and media page.
No smoke and mirrors. Just genuine party footage.

What Kind of Events Can You Hire Us For?

Pretty much any event that needs a proper party atmosphere.

We regularly perform as a function band for private parties, milestone birthdays and celebrations where the brief is simply “make it fun”.

For company events, our corporate party band sets are polished, energetic and never awkward. Perfect for end-of-year parties and big staff celebrations.

We’re also very comfortable playing weddings, evening receptions and mixed-age events as a live party band that works for everyone in the room.

Sound, Lighting and Stress-Free Setup

When you hire a party band, you shouldn’t have to worry about technical stuff. Leave that to us!

We bring professional sound and lighting suitable for your venue and chosen line-up. We arrive early, set up efficiently and soundcheck properly.

We’ve worked in hotels, marquees, private homes, outdoor venues and some very interesting spaces over the years.
If there’s a logistical curveball, we’ve probably seen it before.

Keeping the Party Flowing All Night

A great party doesn’t have awkward gaps.

Alongside our live sets, we can provide background music, DJ-style tracks between sets and music to keep things moving once the band finishes.

If you want the best of both worlds, our band and DJ combo approach works brilliantly for private parties too.

One team. One sound system. One continuous vibe.

If you’re having a party you probably want a brilliant band that actually gets the vibe and gets people dancing. This is really important to us. If that sounds good— get in touch. We’d love to be the FUN part of your night. If you have a wedding or event we are local to Bath, Wiltshire, Bristol, Somerset and Reading too although we travel absolutely everywhere. *Except the moon*. When people dance too much in zero gravity they have a tendency to float off which can cause problems with our insurance.
