Here at Music Agency London, it’s not just about the breadth of our roster but the depth of quality we provide. As a smaller agency, we have the advantage of being able to cultivate a personalised service, focusing intensely on the calibre of our acts.
While some agencies might advertise dep bands, where the musicians meet for the first time on the night of the performance, we adopt a different approach. At Music Agency London, we ensure that all our bands are well-rehearsed and in sync, guaranteeing you receive a performance that is tight, impactful and memorable.
Our selection process is rigorous and detailed, designed to ensure our musicians not only deliver exceptional performances but also embody our core values of professionalism and dedication. We understand the significance of the stage, which is why we make sure every act we endorse is a harmonious unit and well-versed with their craft.
In addition to our live music offerings, we also provide DJ services for events of all sizes. Whether you’re looking for a DJ to keep the party going all night or to provide background music for a corporate event, we have the perfect solution. Our DJs are skilled at reading the crowd and can customize their sets to fit your needs.

Music is an essential element of any event, but it’s equally important to consider how it interacts with your chosen venue. In particular, understanding the venue’s sound limitations can significantly influence your decision when booking a band.
For example, some venues have strict sound limiters in place to comply with noise control regulations. A loud pop band may struggle to deliver their usual electrifying performance under such constraints, preventing your guests from fully enjoying the experience and hindering the band’s ability to get everyone up and dancing.
To help you navigate this, we offer sound advice (quite literally) – if a venue’s sound limiter is set, it should be at least 85db for an acoustic act and 95db for a typical covers band. These parameters allow for the richness of the music to come through without violating venue policies.
We use a Booking Agreement which legally binds the act you book to perform at your event and includes various provisions you provide them in return.
The venue/event planner should provide the act with the following: a safe supply of electricity; security for the musicians and their property at the venue; a suitable performance area (with adequate shelter if outdoors); access to suitable, free parking facilities; adequate provision for access to the venue and performance area during set-up and pack-down; access to toilets, washing and changing facilities; and provision of a hot meal and soft drink for each member of the act.
If you cancel a confirmed booking on or before the date that occurs 45 days before the engagement, you will not be eligible for a refund. Please consult our detailed terms and conditions for more information.

At Music Agency London, we take the safety and security of our acts and your event very seriously. While we ensure that all our acts have the necessary Public Liability Insurance to cover any incident related to their performance, it’s also important for the venue to have appropriate insurance coverage. This dual-level insurance approach mitigates potential risks and assures a safe and enjoyable experience for all parties involved. We highly recommend that event organisers confirm their venue’s insurance policies to avoid any unforeseen complications. As always, we’re here to provide guidance should you need any assistance.
