Last update: December 2024

HARD TO HANDLE are one of the most sought after and in demand function bands working in the UK today!

We’re a professional live function band performing an impressively broad mix of music. Each year over 200 brides and grooms choosen HARD TO HANDLE to provide dance floor-friendly live music at their wedding receptions. We are ridiculously versatile – modern anthems, indie classics, 80s and 90s rock, soul favourites, 60s and 70s hits and much more are all in the mix, delivered with lots of energy and an amazing full sound.

Our three piece line up means that we are perfect for functions where hiring a large events band isn’t appropriate, and our free DJ service also means that we are much more affordable – no need to hire a separate DJ, we’ll take care of everything for you! Our musicians have gigged in prestigious venues throughout the UK, Europe, Australasia, the Far East, Russia, Canada and the USA and are the “go-to” band for many reputable entertainment agencies, but you can hire us direct by contacting us on 0796 433 5657.
