“A huge thank you to Sonny and the whole band — you were absolutely fantastic. Our guests loved it! The song selection was perfect and matched the atmosphere beautifully. You truly know how to read a room and get people moving. Apart from that, from the very first message, the communication was smooth and easy. Sonny was incredibly accommodating and happy to meet all of our requests, which took so much stress off us during the planning. On the day itself, the whole team was professional, warm and a pleasure to work with. Thank you for giving us and our guests such an great experience. We would recommend you to anyone without hesitation.”

“These guys were brilliant from start to finish. Great musicians, great energy, and just a really cool group of people. They played a perfect mix of Italian classics and international songs. They were interactive with the guests in a very natural way, fun and engaging without ever feeling over the top. And we have to mention that they looked the part too. Very stylish and professional! The biggest compliment we can give is that the next day everyone was still talking about the band. We had so many guests asking where we found them and telling us how much they loved the music. Highly recommended if you're looking for a band that knows how to get a party going.”
“This band was amazing! You must hire them- professional, fun, happy and just want to make you and your guests have a great time. 5 stars! Could not recommend more highly, they were awesome!”

“The Tuscany Folk Band was the best surprise for all of our guests! They brought so much energy to our Welcome Pizza Party and set the perfect tone for the entire weekend. As everyone eased into the celebration, they added such an authentic Italian atmosphere that made the evening feel incredibly special. By the end of the night, our guests were dancing in circles, singing, and swaying together! We also had two birthdays that evening, and the band went above and beyond by singing Happy Birthday and making each celebration feel so fun and exciting. They even created a special song for the bride using my name, which had everyone smiling and singing along! The Tuscany Folk Band set the bar incredibly high and gave us the strongest start to our wedding weekend. We had the absolute best time and couldn’t have asked for a more fun, memorable, and festive way to welcome our guests!”

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.
