Live Bands for Hire, Ready to Book
Browse the options for band hire and get in touch directly – free.
Booking a band in the Hunter Valley starts with one question: how many musicians do the room and the budget allow? The acts here run from a two-person line-up to a five-piece, and while weddings at wineries and country estates fill most of their calendars, they also play birthdays, engagements and work functions.
At the compact end, Duality pair Amber's vocals with Brian on keys, playing covers alongside some originals, with packages from $500 and a full sound system set up an hour before they start. Jackson Broadway play pop and rock covers as a duo, or as a trio for $500 more, starting from $1,500 with their own sound, lighting and AV patching.
For a fuller dance floor, Paperboy and The Verweys both field four musicians. Paperboy's set-up takes no more room than a standard duo's, and The Verweys can close the night with a DJ set through the same speakers and lights. Colour Theory are the largest line-up, a five-piece pop and rock covers band you book directly with the musicians, with an Allen & Heath desk, RCF PA and lighting in every hire.
Sorting the shortlist by what the day needs:
Ask each band for its set lengths and what it needs from the venue for power and floor space. Still weighing it up? Compare DJs, or browse wedding reception venues.

Duality's singer and keyboard packages start from $500, and Jackson Broadway start from $1,500 as a duo. Paperboy, Colour Theory and The Verweys quote for your date and venue.
Duality's wedding packages include three songs you choose, learned and played live. Ask the other bands whether they take requests or learn new songs.
The Verweys offer an optional DJ set after the band, using the same sound and lighting, so there is no second supplier to set up.
Colour Theory are booked directly with the musicians, with no agent involved. Ask the other bands how their bookings are handled when you enquire.
The Verweys provide an acoustic duo for ceremonies and canapés, and Paperboy play acoustic ceremony music through a battery-powered PA, handy when the ceremony spot is away from power.
Colour Theory list Singleton and Broke among the areas they travel to, and Paperboy have no travel charge across the Hunter Valley. Jackson Broadway include travel within 100km of their base.
