We kindly ask clients to provide a hot meal and soft drinks for The Beat Freaks Party Band.

We suggest that you pick 10 songs that you’d like to hear on the day from our diverse song list, and we’ll tailor the rest of the set around your chosen songs. You can also tell us if there are any songs you would not like to hear on the day.
We will also learn your first dance/special request for free to perform live, as long as it is sent through at least 2 weeks before the performance date. Any other songs that you’d like us to perform that are not in our repertoire list will be changed as extra for the learning time.

If you have a Spotify playlist you’d like to hear on the day please send it through in advance, and we’ll make sure it is played. If you would like the spotify playlists to be manned by one of the band members and for the requests to be taken on the day by yourself and your guests, like a DJ, we can also provide that for a fee of £150.00.

If a member of TBF cannot make the performance for a legitimate reason such as illness or an unforeseen circumstance, a deputy “known as a Dep” will be on hand to replace them to make sure the performance can still go ahead. We work with some of the UK’s top musicians and all performances will be held to the highest standard.

Yes we can. The best thing about TBF is we can come as small as the 5-piece band all the way up to our stunning 9-piece band with an extra female vocalist, keyboard and horns. We can also offer a mix and match deal where you can add just keyboards, or just saxophone to our 5-piece line-up.

We would need to know what the venue's restrictions are, but in most cases yes. In some cases we would need to hire an electric drum kit for £250.00 which will be added on top of the total fee. We are happy to sign any paperwork the venue’s may want us to sign to comply with their restrictions as long as we know we can provide you with the best possible version of ourselves on the day.
