You'll see that there is a huge range of styles and that many of the cover bands offer something a bit different to make your event truly memorable.

What Is the definition of a wandering band?

A wandering band is a type of musical group that usually performs acoustically and can wander or roam, usually between guests. This is unlike most traditional bands that are static and connected by wires to a PA system or other kind of amplification.

Wandering bands first became popular in France. The tradition started in the French Riviera, where they are still very popular at corporate events, on luxury yachts and at destination weddings. Their popularity quickly spread and the UK is now home to some incredibly talented wandering bands.

FixTheMusic's co-founder Ed Southall summarised the definition of wandering bands as "those bands that are free to roam and weave freely amongst guests, usually acoustic and made up of guitars, cajon, singer, and a bass guitar".

Are all wandering bands acoustic?

Not necessarily. There are a handful of wandering bands that are also electric, meaning that they are amplified. They use state-of-the-art wireless technology to amplify the band. This means the band can be louder than a purely acoustic wandering band and is more suited to parties where the number of guests exceeds around 80 people.

Check out NOMAD and The London Roaming Band if you're interested in seeing incredible amplified wandering bands.

How much does a wandering band cost?

Most wandering bands charge between £2,000 - £4,000 for weddings and events in the UK. Some charge a lot more based on their level of experience and the demand for their music.

Cover bands on FixTheMusic have public liability insurance and PAT tested equipment.

Duo Option

If you like the look of ROAMEO, but 4 musicians stretches the budget, we have just released a condensed duo version: Players Lite. Led by a singer or singer/guitarist and supported by the drummer who has all the other instruments stored in his live drum machine, triggered on the fly. All the sound, sass, mobility and interaction of the full complement - just smaller. Sax or an extra singer can be added.

We are forever gauging dance floors around the world and keeping an ear to the ground for the freshest party tunes. The sample set list provided here shows examples of places we like to go.

Please note that ROAMEO operates as a family of no-compromise musicians, who are the best in London for this show and at the very top of their game. This means that the band may not have all members from promotional footage. The set list is indicative only and will vary according to the singer.
