Here are some of our most in-demand function bands performing live...
High Class Musicianship
Many of our musicians graduated from universities in the North, including Newcastle, Edinburgh and the Royal Northern College of Music, and have extensive gigging experience at nearby venues, as well as across the rest of the UK.
FixTheMusic’s bands cover all musical bases, including contemporary pop covers, soul, R&B, Motown, rock ’n’ roll, classic rock, indie rock, Britpop, funk, jazz, acoustic, folk, vintage, swing and even electro-swing!
How Much Does a Party Band in Newcastle Cost to Hire?
Prices vary according to the number of members in the band, how many sets they play and how far they have to travel to get to your event. Our system ensures that great bands operating out of Newcastle and the surrounding counties are notified first to minimise travel costs, so you can be sure you’re getting the best price.
Cover bands on FixTheMusic generally start at £850, which would get you a three-piece lineup to play 2 x 45-minute sets or similar. The average price for hiring a covers band in Newcastle is £915, whilst many larger groups will charge more to give you a fuller sound with a brass section consisting of saxophone, trumpet and trombone players.
To get an accurate quote, it’s best to talk to the band themselves. Make an enquiry to be put in direct contact with our best local musicians, and you’ll be able to discuss details such as your favourite songs, PA hire, lighting and parking. FixTheMusic’s musicians are always willing to negotiate, particularly if you can help provide them with equipment and catering, and they actively want to make your event a success and get your guests dancing.
Bespoke Live Music Packages for Your Party
Should you have specific song requests or a dress theme for your party, FixTheMusic's musicians will be more than happy to cater to your needs. Note down your requirements in our enquiry form and relevant bands will reply directly to you with a bespoke package. Our system ensures that great bands operating out of Tyneside are given preference and that musicians have public liability insurance and PAT tested equipment.

Reviews from local events in Newcastle
“Throwing Shapes were absolutely fantastic from the initial conversation through to the wedding day. They went above and beyond to cater for our needs and far exceeded our expectations!”
“We can’t thank Northern Star Showband enough for their professional approach and outstanding performance at our wedding in the Wylam Brewery. We booked the 8 piece band (male and female singers plus brass) and they literally had the whole wedding dancing all night. They were very accommodating with learning our first dance and also let us select a load of songs off their repertoire to work into their current set list. Can’t recommend these guys enough!!”

“Absolutely brilliant night last night!!! Thanks lads!!!”
“Just what we wanted. We loved our first dance and every song after! I was a sweaty mess by the end because of all the dancing. We got lots of compliments from guests about the band and at least one couple are planning on booking for an upcoming 40th birthday party. They were great guys and hope they enjoyed playing half as much as we enjoyed listening!”
