If you consider the range of people at your event which band has the set list and style that will appeal to the majority of guests. You will find a wealth of information at your disposal on the bands pages but you may also want to speak to one of the LMM team in order to get free and honest advice about the best function band to hire for your event.

What is a function band?
A function band is a live music act which concentrates on playing cover versions of well known songs. A good function band will have a wide repertoire and be able to play to any crowd. They will have a lively and charismatic vocalist able to work a crowd and get everyone dancing. Function bands are sometimes referred to as cover bands or party bands. They are different to tribute bands who usually concentrate on recreating the look and sound of one act. A function band is the ideal live music solution to a party where you are expecting people to want to dance. Our function bands have various line ups and you can check the pages below for further details of individual function bands for hire or visit the main LMM website for a wider selection.
