Yes, and it’s one of our favourite parts of the night. Most of our local wedding bands will happily learn your first dance song or a special request, whether it’s an indie floor-filler, a Stevie Wonder classic, or a Bruno Mars hit. As long as they can do it justice, they will perform.

Our best musicians pride themselves on their infectious energy and creating live, authentic moments. If you’ve got a request in mind, just let us know when you book. If they cannot perform it live, they can play it through their PA sound system, so get your party started exactly how you imagined.

Our East Midlands bands offer a range of flexible packages to suit your wedding party. From chilled background music for an intimate gathering to full evening performances with their own PA sound system, lighting equipment, and DJ service included, we’ve got it covered.

Whether you want male lead vocals or specialist acts such as bands with saxophone or pop punk bands, you can count on longer performances and DJ sets between live music to keep the party rocking all night long. Most of our acts are fully self contained, meaning they bring everything needed to turn any space into a stage.

Hell yeah. Our East Midlands wedding bands are up for taking the party further afield. While they are based locally, our bands cover the entire region and frequently travel to the West Midlands, North West, and even the South East.

We are thorough with our coverage, serving Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Lincoln, Northampton, Chesterfield, Mansfield, Loughborough, Oakham, and Stamford.

Whether you’re getting hitched at The West Mill, Swancar Farm, Hazel Gap Barn, Prestwold Hall, Dodford Manor, or somewhere off-grid like Rutland Water or The Pumping House, our professional function bands will handle all the details and perform a sound check to ensure everything is absolutely incredible.

Yes, if they are available! If your big day is coming up fast, get in touch. We work with talented musicians who have been performing for over a decade and are used to stepping in for a corporate entertainment gig or a wedding party last minute. However, the best bands usually book up 1-2 years in advance and beyond, so it’s always best to book early.

We can help you find the right line up even at short notice, as long as there’s availability. Whether you need a rock band, jazz bands, or a high-energy party band, we’ll get your event location sorted.

Dirtbag Entertainment isn’t your average UK bands for hire agency. We’re all about infectious energy and authentic live music. Our East Midlands bands aren’t cheesy; they are real musicians who know exactly what it takes to fill a dance floor. If you’re after a party band that actually knows how to get guests involved and play timeless classics with real grit, that’s what we do best.

Definitely. Many wedding bands offer an acoustic setup perfect for your wedding ceremony, drinks reception, or wedding breakfast.

Think laid-back indie rock or soul classics to provide background music while guests mingle. Then, when it’s time to turn things up, your live wedding music act can transform into a full powerhouse that keeps the dance floor packed all night long!
