Hiring A Function Band In Scotland

Everything You'll Need to Know

Function Bands in Scotland cost from £327 to £25365. The average price in 2025 was £1740. Prices vary depending on experience, demand, size of act, travel costs and the specs of the equipment provided. Artists travelling into Scotland from further away will usually charge more than a local act due to travel time and fuel costs.

We will always do our best to help you find an artist within your budget, so please give us a call if you can't find what you're looking for.

Alive Network represents Function Bands throughout Scotland, with acts available for events in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Angus, Argyll and Bute, Ayrshire, Clackmannanshire, Dumfriesshire, Dundee, East Ayrshire, East Dunbartonshire, East Lothian, East Renfrewshire, Edinburgh, Falkirk, Fife, Glasgow, Highland, Inverclyde, Lanarkshire, Midlothian, Moray, North Ayrshire, North Lanarkshire, Orkney Islands, Outer Hebrides, Perth and Kinross, Perthshire, Renfrewshire, Scottish Borders, Shetland Islands, South Ayrshire, South Lanarkshire, Stirling, West Dunbartonshire, West Lothian.

On the rare occasion that we don't have an artist based within your area, we will always have artists in the neighbouring regions willing to travel.

To see our most local artists, enter a search using your event date and location, then use the 'nearest me' sort option.
