Booking A Showband In Essex

What You'll Need To Know

Showbands in Essex cost from £2614 to £25365. The average price in 2025 was £4314. Prices vary depending on experience, demand, size of act, travel costs and the specs of the equipment provided. Artists travelling into Essex from further away will usually charge more than a local act due to travel time and fuel costs.

We will always do our best to help you find Showbands within your budget, so please give us a call if you can't find what you're looking for.

Alive Network represents Showbands throughout Essex, with acts available for events in Basildon, Billericay, Braintree, Brentwood, Brightlingsea, Burnham-On-Crouch, Canvey Island, Chelmsford, Chigwell, Chipping Ongar, Clacton-On-Sea, Colchester, Epping, Frinton-On-Sea, Grays, Great Dunmow, Halstead, Harlow, Harwich, Loughton, Maldon, Rayleigh, Saffron Walden, Southend-on-Sea, Stansted Mountfitchet, Tilbury, Waltham Abbey, Walton-On-The-Naze, West Mersea, Wickford, Witham, Wivenhoe.

On the rare occasion that we don't have an artist based within your area, we will always have artists in the neighbouring regions willing to travel.

To see the most local acts, enter a search using your event date and location, then use the 'nearest me' sort option.

Aside from representing some of the best Showbands in the UK, one of the main reasons to hire with Alive Network is security.
