You’ve just said to yourself “I need to hire Live Entertainment For A Party” and that can mean lots of different things to many people. It could be dancers, magicians, DJ’s, celebrity impersonators, live band karaoke and more. To us it means live music performed in an entertaining manner.  Performances that guests want to join in with. To sing and dance-along with us to. Entertaining punters is what we do best.

Indie rock cover band ‘Punch The Air‘ don’t just stand there, staring down at our instruments like some boring old party band going through the motions reading lyrics off iPads. We look upward and forward, engaging with guests on the dance-floor. We don’t use iPads on stage as we know the lyrics, chords and structures to the songs we’re performing by heart. (Surely you should expect this from any professional band you’d book?) We’re jumping around the stage and dance-floor areas always giving a high energy performance. You’ll have the time of your lives when you book live entertainment with Punch The Air. So make sure you contact Andy from the band sooner than later to check on our price and availability for your party.

Surely you want to book a professional band who actually know their own material right? This way we can concentrate on making sure you enjoy yourselves. We’ll pick people out in the room and encourage them to enjoy themselves. Sometimes we’ll even ask people up on stage to join in with the live entertainment too. This is what it should be all about at your event too.

There’s nothing better than live entertainment at a wedding reception, corporate event, or birthday party. At a wedding it gives the evening a much needed lift after a long day of ceremonies, drinking, eating and celebrating.

How Hiring Live Party Entertainment Works

Booking live entertainment for a party doesn’t need to be complicated. Once you get in touch, we’ll confirm availability for your date, talk through the type of event you’re planning, and make sure the music fits the atmosphere you want to create.

We’ll work around your venue, timings and guest mix — whether you want background music early on, a high-energy party set later in the evening, or something that builds throughout the night. Setup, sound and logistics are handled by us, so you don’t need to worry about the technical side.

On the night itself, our focus is simple: read the room, keep the energy right, and make sure the entertainment actually adds to the party rather than distracting from it.

Is live entertainment suitable for small parties?

A One-Off Guest Vocal Performance – How it all happened

We had no idea that Ms Langhorne was exhibiting at the same wedding fair as Punch The Air. As she was across the other side of the field in a tipi tent. Towards the end of the event she wondered over to our little staged area. There, she casually watched us for a few songs singing a dancing along to our live indie repertoire. We didn’t actually know who she was at all. But Andy thought it would be fun to ask her up on stage with us anyway even though he didn’t know if she could sing in tune or not. Eventually we managed to coerce her onto the stage not knowing anything about her musical talents. Watch Pippa Langhorne on stage with us.

November 2026 Wedding Band

Since forming twelve years ago, the band has built its reputation on one thing: delivering high-energy live performances that keep dance floors full from the first song to the last. Rather than focusing on original releases, Punch The Air has specialised in performing expertly arranged covers of well-known hits, tailored to suit each event and audience.

Twelve Years of Live Performance Experience

Over the past twelve years, Punch The Air has performed at a wide range of events, from intimate wedding receptions to large-scale corporate functions and packed party venues. This experience has shaped the band’s approach to live entertainment, allowing them to adapt seamlessly to different settings, audiences, and age groups.

Weddings in particular require a careful balance — creating a romantic atmosphere early in the evening before transitioning into a high-energy party later on. With years of experience behind them, the band understands how to read a room and adjust the setlist in real time to match the mood of the crowd.

A Versatile Party and Wedding Band

What sets Punch The Air apart is versatility. The band’s repertoire spans decades of popular music, covering everything from classic party anthems to modern chart hits. This flexibility makes them a popular choice for weddings and private events where guests of all ages are on the dance floor together.

Each performance is approached with the same level of professionalism, from sound setup and timing to stage presence and interaction with guests. The goal is always the same: to create a memorable night that feels effortless for the couple or event organiser.

Reliability Built Over Time

Longevity matters in the live events world. Couples and event planners need confidence that the band they book will turn up prepared, sound great, and deliver exactly what was promised. Twelve years of performing together has allowed Punch The Air to build that trust, with a proven track record of reliable, polished performances.

Being together for over a decade also means the band members know each other’s playing styles inside out, resulting in tight performances and smooth transitions that only come with time and experience.

Looking Ahead

As Punch The Air celebrates twelve years together, the focus remains firmly on the future. The band continues to perform at weddings, functions, and parties, bringing the same energy and professionalism that has defined them from the start.

This milestone is not about looking back, but about continuing to provide high-quality live entertainment for couples and event organisers planning unforgettable celebrations.

Why use a charity event band for your fundraiser?

A live band is a fantastic way to help you raise money for your good cause. When you charge a reasonable amount for a ticket it gives guests a reason to feel that your event is actually worth something and so is actually worth attending. ‘Punch The Air‘ are a top rated party band enjoyed by all who can get everyone up dancing all night long. 

If you charge a low ticket fee or even say its “Free entry” there is more chance of guests deciding on the night that they simply can’t be bothered to turn up after all due to poor excuses like:

• The slightly drizzling weather outside
• Forgetting to book a babysitter
• Feeling ever-so-ever-so slightly unwell etc.

So charge for tickets and give guests a good reason to get dressed up and get excited about your event over the upcoming weeks and months. After all they have spent good money on that ticket and will intend to use it.

More guests at your charity event band mean more ways to raise even more money for your charitable cause. You’ll see more tickets sold for raffles and auctions, more guests playing interval games like “Roll A Pound”, “Heads & Tails” Table Quiz” and more.

Live images of our Charity Event Band

As you’ll see from the below images everyone had a great time with us performing live music for their charity at this North Warwickshire wedding venue. We made sure from start to finish that the whole event went off swimmingly smooth. 

Guests loved our selection of classic indie rock covers and hits from the present day back to the 1950’s. There’s something for everyone with hits from Oasis, George Ezra, Kings Of Leon, Chesney Hawkes, Coldplay, Amy Winehouse, The Killers, Queen and more from our repertoire.

Here’s a glowing review from event organiser Sarah Chetwynd.

What you get from us.

We can provide absolutely everything you need entertainment wise at your event. Thats all the bands gear, PA system, mixing desk, all leads and cables, stage and dance-floor lighting. We can handle all the DJ sets in-between taking requests and making announcements. You can even use our microphones for raffles or we’ll do all the compèring for you at no extra cost. We’re incredibly friendly guys who love to get stuck in and help out.
