Latest reviews of our Christmas Party Function Bands in West Sussex

"We had an incredible experience with the band for our event. They were brilliant in responding to all our questions, and really helped in keeping the planning as simple as possible. The band arrived on time, and got themselves without any input from us. They were super friendly and personable, but most importantly got everyone up and dancing! They are very professional and great entertainers, they did not miss a single beat, and have a brilliant range in their repertoire to keep audiences of all ages enjoying themselves. Thank you so much for everything and I hope we get the opportunity to have you play for us again!"
Neil hired The Fifty 4 for a Private event (available in West Sussex)

"What a band!!!!! The Lineups are amazing. We booked the Lineups for our recent wedding (March 2025) and the band were incredible. My now wife, all of our guests and I had the best time dancing and singing along with the band. They really know how to make a wedding party rock. Dealing with Thom throughout the booking period was so easy and prompt. He answered every question we had in record speed and when finally meeting him and the rest of the band on our wedding day, they were all just really nice down to earth guys. We honestly had the best time and would highly recommend The Lineups to anyone wanting a wedding band. Thank you for making our special day exceptional. G and D"

FAQs about hiring Christmas Party Function Bands in West Sussex
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
What kind of performance should I expect from a function band?
Good question! There are essentially three types of function band performances: headline, background, and roaming. Headline bands are the most common; perfect for filling the dancefloor and getting the crowd moving. Background function bands are usually jazz bands - they can provide a great ambience for whatever event you might have in mind. Roaming bands are great for outdoor weddings or events where you want the band to get around to all the guests and provide a bit of audience interaction. Roaming bands are only possible as an acoustic act, so they come cord-free!
Will function bands take song requests?
Yes - but always best to ask well in advance! Most bands will be very accomodating if you've asked them to play a few special requests. Function bands are also usually very experienced, so requests on the night aren't out-of-the-question either (just don't be upset if they aren't keen to play all 23 minutes of Echoes by Pink Floyd!).
Will the function band provide all their own equipment?
Yes - most function bands will be fully equipped with their own PA system, music gear, and usually even lighting! Many will also provide a sound assistant, as well as a DJ service. A DJ service will keep the music going while the band take short breaks, but is also perfect add-on if you and your guests want to boogie into the far-reaches of the night!
