What are
Function Bands:
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.
Function Bands
In
today’s society planning parties, functions and
events can be overwhelming for those who are in
charge of planning everything. One of the biggest
issues that the individuals planning these events
run into is finding the right type of entertainment
that will satisfy everyone. While recorded music is
an option more and more planners are now hiring
function bands. There are several good reasons to go
this route.
The biggest reason for having music at a party or
function is to help liven things up and get the
guests involved. Most function bands come prepared
with a variety of music but if you have specific
requests be sure to discuss it with them ahead of
time so they can work it into their schedule. It’s
also okay to ask a specific type of function bands
to play music that is out of their normal comfort
zone. This will allow them to learn new tricks and
have additional work that they can add to their
profile and resume. It’s a win win situation for you
and the band.

Function
bands are great for parties and events since they
adapt easily to almost any situation. Coming
prepared with a variety of music allows them to be a
hit and help to make your party successful. Guests
often prefer to have a DJ or live band versus
watching you hurry off every few minutes in order to
stick a new CD into the player.
The budget for function bands should be determined
while you are planning your event. If you know who
you are interested in hiring you should contact them
at least 2 -3 months in advance in order to ensure
you can afford them and that they will be available
at that time.
Popular
function bands are booked for events and parties
sometimes 6 months in advance if they are high in
demands so always keep that in mind. It may be
necessary to book more than one function bands to
help fill up your entertainment block for the night.
If the bands you are looking at are high priced you
may want to start saving before even talking to them
because they may charge an upfront fee which you may
not have expected.

If the
event you are planning will include dancing make
sure to discuss this with your function bands in
advance so they know that you will need at least a
few songs that guests can dance to. Nothing helps to
make an event a success than good music and dancing.
Who doesn’t enjoy dancing? For most people to be
able to spend the night dancing with the ones they
love and just having a good time is a great way to
relax and release stress.
So if
you are looking to give your guests the best time
possible consider renting function bands to get the
party started and keep it rolling until you are
ready to turn in for the night. There is no better
way to enjoy yourself than to dance the night away.
