Somerset Band for Hire – Let’s Get This Party Started

Need a Somerset band for hire that actually gets people dancing? One that doesn’t just play in the background, but turns your event into a full-on celebration? You’re in the right place.

We’re Funk City Band, and we’ve been playing across Somerset (and beyond) since 2004. Over 600 weddings, festivals, and events later, we’ve learned a thing or two about how to make a party *feel* like a party. We STILL LOVE IT!

What type of events do we cover?

Almost everything. Weddings? Absolutely. Corporate dos? Yup. Garden parties, birthday bashes, surprise celebrations, or even festival weddings — we’ve done it all.

• Weddings – We’re a full-service live band for your wedding reception and ceremony. First dance? We’ll play it live.
• Private Parties – Dancefloor fillers guaranteed. Also: sax solos in your living room are a thing.
• Corporate Events – Impress your clients with a corporate band that actually grooves.
• Festival Vibes – Love a tipi and glitter? Our festival wedding setups are a crowd favourite.

Band sizes to suit your Somerset setting

Whether you’re having a small venue celebration or a marquee in the middle of a field, we’ve got a line-up that works. Here’s the lowdown:

• 3-piece band – Vocals, guitar, drums. Compact, stylish, still full of energy.
• 4-piece band – Add bass and a second vocalist. Great for medium-sized parties.
• 7-piece band – The full experience. Horn section, big sound, huge energy.

Every line-up includes pros who know how to read the room, keep the tempo right, and crank up the energy at just the right moment. This isn’t your uncle’s pub band. (Unless your uncle’s in the band. In which case… let’s talk.)

Why choose Funk City Band?

We’re interactive. We’re wireless. We don’t hide behind mic stands — we get right in the middle of the action. And we’re known for turning even the most reluctant guest into a dancefloor regular.

If you’re having a party and 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 in a different place 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.
