Find a Band
Finding a band can be an arduous process, and its normally achieved through someone referring a band they've seen, and usually means visiting various nights when that band is playing in order to give them the critical eye before confirming them for your event.
At Pro Music UK Ltd, we are committed to try and give the best service possible and that starts right here. We have endeavoured to have all of our acts recorded or filmed in order for you to make a decision from the comfort of your own home or work desk. We hope that you will be able to easily scan through our acts, and choose the type of band which best suits you, for the UK location you desire. If you wish to view one of the acts, or there are no recordings on the website at present for the act you're interested in, please do not hesitate to contact us on 0161 224 6236.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We have recently changed our enquiry system to an email form which pops up when the enquiry button on each band/ act page is pressed. If this pop-up does not appear on your browser due to a pop-up blocker, please re-click the button, pressing <ctrl> at the same time. The system allows me to receive the information I need to accurately quote for each event, however, not all fields have to be filled in. If anyone has any problems or feedback with this new system, please let me know on gavin@livemusic4u.co.uk
