Are you planning a university event or a student party? Whether you're a student, employee of the student's union or an event planner, you'll either know already (or be about to find out!) that the entertainment is a really crucial part of the function. Either browse the profiles listed here or use the "advanced search" feature to find a university ball/ student event band near you.
In this section of the Last Minute Musicians directory, you'll find some brilliant options for entertainment for university events. Generally, you'll be wanting a band that has a very modern repertoire and can perform live a selection of the hits that students are currently hearing in the charts and clubs. You'll also want them to have a few "modern classics" in their repertoire from the 90s and early 2000s.
Top tip:While it is tempting to book a whole host of entertainment for a student event, this can be prohibitively expensive. However, many rock/pop bands will be able to provide a DJ playlist, as well as options to perform later in the night. This can help keep the music flowing throughout the evening.
