About Us
BarBands covers artist agency, works closely with musicians, DJs and venues to provide great live entertainment for bars and pubs.
Our roots lie in the music, promotion and bar industries and using this experience we have set up an efficient agency to supply all pub and bar entertainment needs. We specialise in covers music acts and have a wealth of solo artists, duos, trios and groups to cover any aspect of musical entertainment. You give us your requirements and we can help advise as to which style and size artist is best for you. We can organise a regular slot or artist for you, or one-off events.
We can provide any type of entertainment you need. Whatever it is you require, we can organise. For example:
+ A laid-back acoustic duo for chilled out Sunday afternoons
+ A full live party covers band
+ DJs for any genre and DJs with live accompaniment
+ Holiday entertainment such as bands for Christmas parties or a solo artist for romantic songs on Valentines Day
+ Fully themed parties with any kind of entertainment you like!
We can take on every aspect of organising your event; providing artists, equipment hire (eg: a PA or lighting), decoration, help with promotion, flyer and poster printing, hosts, a sound engineer, any many more.
BarBands and Your Venue
Your venue could become synonymous with seeing fantastic live music which holds many benefits for you.
The Performing Right Society (PRS) have published a study on the benefits of live music in venues and their key findings were:
1. Live music attracts customers who want to socialise with other people in an exciting atmosphere
2. Live music generates profit through bar sales
3. Live music events can create the right image for your venue
They found that people actively seek live music, spend more money in bars with live music compared to those without, stay inside the venue for longer and the customers reacted more positively to the venue.
There is also an interesting study by Music Works which surveyed customers on their perception of music in bars and pubs. 91% of respondents said they liked to hear music in pubs, and a staggering 94% said music is a very important factor in the bars they chose to visit.
Furthermore, 82% said they will stay longer in pubs or bars with music and 84% agreed that music would make them go more often.
As a venue you will be offering your customers something that most other pubs and bars do not – free live music. Your venue will be more attractive to customers and we have found that each venue we currently provide entertainment for have been really happy with the increased footfall into their bars - and the consequent increased bar spend. Some venues have seen their customer numbers increase by a huge amount on the evenings we provide entertainment for.
Other venues have noted the loyalty customers have developed to their pub, which has sprung up from our events – many of the same people going back time and again for the experience.
BarBands can help your venue to beat its competition by providing all aspects of organising entertainment, to whatever requirements you have. As well as live musicians and DJs we are able to source any other type of entertainment – just tell us what you need and we will find the best for you.
Give your venue the edge and see what BarBands can do for you.
