Roaming Bands have now become a popular feature of many weddings and parties and Fantasia Music have some of the best bands in the UK. There are a number of reasons these ‘unplugged’ bands have gained popularity and I shall explore these below. Could it be that a Roaming Band is the perfect solution for your special event? Read on…
What is a Roaming Band?
These are usually 4pc bands that have a singer, guitars (or guitar & bass) and percussion with many Roaming Bands including backing vocals. This instrumentation is all you need to make great music as there is melody, instrumental backing and rhythm. Bands that Roam or play ‘unplugged’ play acoustic or without amplification so there are no mics, guitar leads, speakers, or any other hindrances to being able to play music just about anywhere.
Weddings & receptions
A Roaming Band is perfect for a wedding drinks reception as instead of the band remaining in one position they are able to move amongst the guests or play at tables. These bands really come into their own for receptions and events held outside as no power is required, and their flexibility saves the day if your reception is inside your wedding venue but then everyone goes outside as the weather improves.
Here are some Roaming Bands that we highly recommend in different price brackets.
