Booked for Other Event

We booked Andrew for a Burns Night dinner and we were thrilled by his performance. Andrew checked what we wanted beforehand, turned up promptly, played two great sets for us and really brought a sense of occasion with his attendance. He was well turned out and dressed smartly in a kilt, exceptionally polite and friendly. I will certainly look to use him again, I think he’d be fantastic for a wedding. Do give him a go, you won’t feel disappointed that you booked him.

Booked for Wedding

Halos came to play at our wedding and they were absolutely INCREDIBLE! We really just can't recommend them enough - they totally brought the party for the evening. Both myself and my husband as well as all of our guests had an absolutely incredible time - our guests have talked about it as one of their favourite parts of the day. They were so flexible with their set list and the DJ was just perfect on the evening, playing lots of requests to keep our guests happy. The lead vocalist has to have a shout out - what a voice!! Thanks so much to the Halos for being part of our day and being utterly, utterly brilliant - everyone should book this band!

Booked for Anniversary

Chris is an excellent guitarist, and a very nice person. His music brought a special ambiance to our event, and there were many positive responses from our guests. He is a total professional and a real gentleman. He played a widely varied repertoire, and added a couple of new arrangements at our request. We couldn’t have made a better choice, and we highly recommend him.

Frequently asked questions

How much is it to hire the function band in London?
On the Poptop platform there is a wide variety of lively bands available to hire for functions in London. Whether you are looking for a group that plays funk, jazz, rock’n’roll, country, swing, rock, blues, pop favourites, or an acoustic mariachi band in full Mexican attire, we have a talented band ready to play at your event. Prices range from £175 to £650 per event, depending on the supplier and the duration of the service.
How long will a function band perform at my party?
The function band will perform for as long as has been arranged upon booking. Each group has its own choice of set times that can be viewed on their Poptop supplier page. Generally, bands give you the choice of booking two to three sets per event with breaks in between each set. For example, you may choose to hire a function band in London to play 2 x 1 hour sets with a 15 minute break, or 3 x 40 minute sets with 20 minute breaks in between.
Can I check a setlist of a certain function band?
Every London function band has a Poptop service description page which displays their setlist. Some groups specialise in different genres and eras, and so provide multiple setlists for you to choose from. Before the event you can discuss the songs with your chosen group and make sure that your favourite songs from the list make the final selection. Some groups are happy to receive special requests but they need to be made with plenty of notice.
Do I need to provide or set up any equipment?
Whichever band you choose to perform at your London function they are required to provide their own equipment. Every one of Poptop’s service providers include the sound equipment, the set up and soundcheck within the booking price. Some bookings also include extras such as atmospheric lighting and suitable background music that they play between sets when they are taking their breaks. You can check these details on each supplier page.
