Reviews of Christmas Bands available in Angus

Kerri's Swinging Christmas
"You guys are seriously off the charts! Thank you so much for last night, it was amazing, you all looked stunning, your performance was incredible, the guests were in awe! My friends were amazed, you guys are incredible! "
1st October 2025
Heather Bird of HB Health
Ophelia
"We recently had Ophelia perform at our ‘Day of the Dead’ party, and she was absolutely fantastic. Her combination of live vocals and trumpet created a brilliant atmosphere that everyone enjoyed. She brought great energy, engaged naturally with the guests, and delivered a performance that felt both professional and personal. We received so many compliments from our guests and would be delighted to book her again for a future event—especially a summer party if she’s available!"
12th November 2025
Roy Purkins - Private party
Lucy - Wedding Singer
"Lucy performed everything from our ceremony music to the evening and it was absolutely incredible and loved by all! Any request was never too much to do and her personal music we loved! Everyone at the wedding said we nailed our music choice! If I could do it all again, Lucy and her band would be booked again and again.. "

Adam - Wedding
The Tuning Forks
"Just really f*****good. You can quote me."

Shaun Galbraith, owner of The Rum Shack
Eljay Acoustic Duo
"Great performance and would highly recommend. Everyone at the party was remarking on how good they were. They were a perfect addition to our party and we all enjoyed dancing to their songs."

Emma Light - 50th Birthday Celebration
Whisky & Ginger
"We were so lucky to have this fantastic musical duo perform at our anniversary party. They played an amazing selection of country music that had everyone singing along, dancing, and enjoying themselves from start to finish. Their talent, professionalism, and ability to read the room created the perfect atmosphere for such a special celebration. Their harmonies were outstanding, and they made every song feel personal and engaging. So many of our guests commented on how much they loved the music and how it made the evening even more memorable. If you're looking for talented, super friendly musicians who know how to entertain a crowd and create a wonderful atmosphere, we couldn't recommend them more highly. Thank you for helping make our anniversary celebration so special!"

Frequently asked questions

Each event is different but the typical performance time for christmas bands in Angus is 2 x 45-minute sets within a 2-hour period, with a 30-minute break in between. Some acts are happy to play longer sets or additional sets. Often, breaks can be negotiated but you should be aware that the price may increase if the musicians need to be onsite for a longer period of time.
You should always check whether or not your act is prepared to play outdoors. It's sometimes not possible for acts that use a lot of electronic equipment to perform anywhere where it might rain. If the act is happy to perform outdoors you should plan to have electrical outlets close to the performance area and provide a flat surface as well as a cover in case of rain.
Booking christmas bands in Angus as early as possible increases the chance of securing their availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many acts also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.
Most christmas bands are self-contained and provide their own sound equipment which is suitable for typical situations. If your event is to be held in a large venue, or you have more than 300 guests, we recommend that additional sound equipment should be used. Always ask your act about their sound system requirements. Some christmas bands in Angus have lighting systems, but most usually will charge extra for this or recommend a third party supplier for you to use.
The cost of hiring musicians in Angus can vary significantly depending on the type of act. Prices currently range from £310 to £6,195, with an average of £800.
Sound limiters are now common at many UK wedding venues, particularly those in residential areas or with noise-sensitive neighbours. They work by cutting the power to amplified equipment if the volume exceeds a set threshold. Most professional bands can work within standard limiter settings without any real impact on the performance. If your venue's limiter is set at 95dB or above, the majority of bands will have no difficulty. Below 95dB it is worth flagging to the band in advance, as they may need to adjust their setup, for example by using an electronic drum kit instead of an acoustic one, or opting for a smaller line-up. Ask your venue for the exact decibel level and pass it on when you make your enquiry, so the band can confirm they can accommodate it.
As a general guide, a 3-piece band needs a performance area of roughly 3m x 3m. Add approximately 1m of width for each additional musician. A 5-piece band would therefore need around 3m x 5m as a minimum. Most bands will also need a small amount of additional space at the sides or rear for equipment cases during the performance. A raised stage is not essential but does help the band make a bigger visual impact, particularly in larger rooms. The performance area needs to be flat, dry and close to a power supply. If you are unsure whether your venue can accommodate a particular band, share the dimensions with them when enquiring and they will be able to advise. Venues with unusual layouts or low ceilings are worth flagging too.
Most professional bands provide a playlist through their PA system during intervals, so there is no gap in the music and no awkward silence while they take a break. This is usually included as standard and the band will typically put together a playlist that fits the mood of the evening. Some acts offer an upgraded DJ service where a member of the band or a dedicated DJ manages the music between sets, takes requests and keeps the energy going. This is usually available as a paid add-on. Check the act's profile or ask when enquiring if this is something you would like.
In most cases, no. The majority of professional bands provide music through their PA system during intervals and after their final set, so your guests will have continuous music throughout the evening without needing a separate DJ. This is usually included in the booking. If you want a more interactive DJ experience, with someone to take requests, mix tracks and keep the dancefloor going after the band finishes, many bands offer this as an optional upgrade, or you can book a DJ separately. It is worth deciding early how late you want music to continue, as a band's final set will typically finish by midnight or the venue curfew, and a DJ can be a cost-effective way of extending the night.
Professional bands take their commitments seriously and cancellations are rare, but illness, accidents or unforeseen circumstances can occasionally affect a booking. It is worth checking what provisions are in place when you book. Many acts and agencies have contingency arrangements, such as calling on dep musicians or arranging a suitable replacement act at short notice. When booking, make sure you receive a written contract that sets out the cancellation terms clearly, for both sides. If you are booking through an agency, ask specifically what happens in the event the act cannot perform. Keeping communication open with your band in the weeks before the event also helps flag any potential issues early.
Band size affects both the sound and the budget. A 3-piece can fill a dancefloor just as effectively as a larger act and tends to be better suited to smaller venues or those with sound restrictions. A 4 or 5-piece gives a fuller sound and more stage presence, which works well in larger rooms. Bigger show bands with brass sections, multiple vocalists or additional musicians create a more spectacular impact but cost more and need more space. As a rough guide, match the band size to your guest numbers and venue capacity. For events up to around 100 guests, a 3 or 4-piece is usually ideal. For 150 or more, a 4 or 5-piece tends to work better. For very large events over 300 guests you may also need to consider whether the band's own PA system is sufficient, or whether additional sound equipment will be needed.

Hire Christmas Bands in Angus

December fills venue diaries faster than any other month, and the Christmas bands on this page play office parties, corporate dinners and festive celebrations throughout the area. Most combine festive classics with mainstream covers, so guests get a proper party set with the Christmas songs woven through it.

Background music or a full dance floor?

Match the act to the shape of the evening. A jazz trio, string quartet or group of carol singers suits mulled wine receptions and sit down meals, while a party band with a festive encore keeps a dance floor moving until the end of the night. Many acts near you offer both a background set and an evening set within one booking.

Christmas band prices in Angus

The average cost of hiring a Christmas band in Angus is currently £800, with quotes from £310 to £6,195 depending on lineup size and set length. December weekends carry the strongest demand, and prices rise further for Christmas Eve and New Year dates. The price comparison section on this page shows how local quotes compare.

Booking a Christmas band near you

Strong local acts take December bookings from spring onwards, so enquire early if your date is fixed, and ask for a set list to check the balance of festive songs suits your guests. If you are booking late, keep an open mind: cancellations open up good bands through November and December, and travel costs stay lower when the act is based close to your venue.
