Welcome! Whether it's an anniversary, your big day, gala or other special event, The Maestros assure you of a great evening's entertainment. If you're looking to book a professional live band for your event, you're in the right place.

Your Event with Dancing to a Live Band
If you're looking for a professional live band to hire, we invite you to take a look at our videos and testimonials. The chances are we've done many events like the one you're arranging so we can work with you to provide the live entertainment you require.
Same band, three shows available -
- The Maestros - All-Decades Floor-Fillers
- Bootleg Sixties - Live Authentic '60s Tribute
- Beatles For Sale - Beatles Tribute Band
Make Your Occasion A Night to Remember
Our band is hired for events and functions at hotels, golf clubs, marquees, open air (even on a railway platform for an Orient Express evening), and we're fortunate to perform for many regular clients including football clubs, NHS, charities, clubs and hotel chains for their premier entertainment and corporate evenings.
As many of our engagements come from clients who have seen us playing at events, we always try to impress - please see our testimonials opposite.
How Our Live Band Works:
For your event, we arrive self-contained with P.A. sound and lighting to set up before your guests arrive. This takes an hour to complete and sound-check to have the balance right for your venue and guests. Typical band arrival time might be 6pm, allowing 60 minutes to be set up by the time your guests arrive by 7pm, or earlier/later to suit your event timings.
Every function is unique and we will be flexible to fit into your evening. You might want to have us perform 2 x 50 minute sets with a break in between, or one long set of 75 minutes - whatever works best to fit into your proceedings. Our first set performance could typically start around 8.30pm or 9pm. We can liaise with you or your planner to make the evening run to plan. We can also take care of background interval music as required using playlists suitable for eating or dancing. For booking enquiries, please call 07813 319847 or complete the enquiry form here
Compliancy: The Maestros Band carry £10m Public Liability Insurance and P.A.T. electrical safety. Certificates available on request.
