How it works
About Our Roaming Bands Available in Italy
FixTheMusic has chosen only Europe's very best acoustic roaming bands who are available for weddings and events in Italy.
Each roaming band has been hand-picked by our team based on their musicality, professionalism and their ability to get your guests dancing.
Most of the acoustic bands consist of a singer or two, acoustic guitar, cajon or other percussion and double bass. Occasionally the bands might also add a saxophone to the line-up.
The bands are particularly in-demand to roam or wander amongst guests, usually on the dancefloor or often at drinks receptions at weddings or corporate events. They usually engage with people as they roam, encouraging guests to sing along with them or dance at the same time.

“The Turnpikes were absolutely exceptional at our Wedding Welcome Dinner in Asciano. William and the band brought amazing vibes to the event. The music they played absolutely made the night what it was. They had all of our guests dancing by the end of the evening. Not only were they excellent musicians, but they were also wonderful people! If you're thinking about booking The Turnpikes for an event, do not hesitate!”

“Where do we even begin with the Turnpikes?! 🖤🔥 Incredible musicians, true professionals, and above all, absolutely wonderful people! From the very first moment, they got everyone on their feet! Their song choices were fantastic, their energy was contagious, and the atmosphere they created was simply unforgettable! Not for a single moment did it feel like they were just a band hired to perform at our wedding. We all became one big group of friends, singing, dancing, laughing, and partying together like we’d known each other forever! And the craziest part? Ever since we started sharing videos from our wedding party, wedding planners from Greece have been constantly asking us for their contact details! That’s how impressed everyone has been by what they saw! If I could have ten wedding parties, I would choose the Turnpikes all ten times, without a second thought! Guys, thank you from the bottom of our hearts! You didn’t just play music at our wedding. You became one of the most amazing and unforgettable parts of our special night! We truly hope our paths cross again so we can party together one more time! 🥳❤️”

“Had the absolute delight of Runaway Soul performing at our wedding. They were extremely collaborative when it came to hearing our wants for the vibe and energy of the dance floor and were an absolute hit. They really kept the party going and had guests asking us all weekend long how we found them. Couldn't recommend them more!”
“The Principals came to our wedding 3rd October and were fantastic. Our guests all commented on them and they were a pleasure to work with before the event. They kept the atmosphere alive and seamlessly transitioned our guests from live band to DJ. We have been to weddings when this transition sees a dip in the dance floor but not at our wedding!! The mid meal music was a brilliant surprise and had our guests laughing and filming. We would highly recommend booking the band for any future events.”

“Honestly the best band I have seen. We had them for our wedding party in Puglia Italy and they created the most incredible sound and atmosphere. Not only the quality of music but their energy and versatility and movement just made the party electric. I had 4 people ask for their details the day after to book them for their parties. Amazing guys. Thank you!”
“The Italian Roamers were, hands down, the highlight of our celebration in Tuscany. We had no idea a four-member acoustic band could bring that much energy, but they completely blew us away. They had our entire group of 100 people dancing on chairs, tables, and pretty much anywhere we could. The vibe was electric. They didn’t stop — they played right through dinner with insane enthusiasm, talent, and charm. They were not only incredibly skilled musicians, but also so full of warmth and spirit! It was truly an unforgettable night.”

“We had an absolutely INCREDIBLE time at our wedding welcome party thanks to The Tuscany Folk Band. They brought such an authentic, joyful Italian atmosphere to the celebration and had our guests smiling, dancing, and completely immersed in the moment. They performed a combination of authentic Italian music along with some pop songs that were a huge hit with our friends and family. We danced all night long and all our guests were so impressed with their talent, joyful spirit, and energy! We couldn't recommend them enough!! Thank you!”

So how does it work?
Amplified roaming bands
In NOMAD’s case, the lead singer uses a wireless mic of course. Backing vocals are provided by the other band members via headsets. Instruments-wise, guitar and bass are plugged into wireless battery packs and the drums are provided by a very nifty wheeled cajon.
The quality of amplified sound is impressive with deep bass and crisp highs – make no mistake, this is not sit-down entertainment, they will get you on your feet.
The band call their show a unique form of ‘dining entertainment’ and certainly they interact with the audience in a way that wasn’t technologically possible 10 years ago.
Acoustic roaming bands
There are also the world's best acoustic roaming bands or wandering bands featured on FixTheMusic – this option is very popular for smaller weddings or where your wedding venue has a strict sound limiter. A roaming wedding band will often perform a wide mix of pop covers – from the 60s to today's current hits, often with a slightly folk edge to the repertoire.
If you fancy transforming your birthday party, wedding reception or corporate event to a modern mediaeval banquet, then make an enquiry on FixTheMusic where we’ll be promoting a variety of wandering groups over the next few months.
The bands are also known as "wandering bands" – as they tend to wander in between and mingle with guests whilst playing their music and singing.
Most of the acoustic bands consist of a singer or two (usually male vocals, but often female too), acoustic guitar, cajon or other percussion and double bass. Occasionally the bands might also add a saxophone to the line-up.
Roaming brass bands
Another popular option is to book a roaming brass band – these modern brass groups are inspired by the roving New Orleans-style band but updated with a modern and often unusual twist. The bands usually feature trumpets, trombones and sousaphones, and occasionally a singer or even rapper to perform alongside them. These acoustic brass groups tend to be much louder than the acoustic guitar-based wandering bands, so are perfect for large public events (such as charity parades or marches).
Busking-style bands
Lastly, the bands are often described as a busking-style band. Indeed, part of the tradition of the roaming acoustic band does stem from busking musicians – traditionally, musicians performing live on the street would be acoustic of course as they would have no access to power or amplification.
Every roaming band for hire on FixTheMusic have public liability insurance and PAT tested equipment.
