Snax.band are a 9-piece corporate event band based in South London.
We play jazz, rock, funk, pop and the usual crowd-pleasing classics for company parties, awards nights, gala dinners, brand launches and work celebrations across London.
- No awkward “networking playlist” vibe.
- No entertainment that feels like an afterthought.
- No guests politely checking emails while the night drifts past them.
Big horns. Familiar tunes. Professional live entertainment. No forced-fun energy.
Corporate entertainment can go wrong very quietly
The venue looks great.
The food is decent.
The agenda mostly ran to time…apart from that one speaker who lost track of where they were and overshot their slot by half an hour.
People are mingling. Drinks are going around and everything is technically…fine…
But…that ends up being it.
Guests stay in small work-mode circles. The background music plays politely under conversations, and people feel like they’re waiting for permission to relax.
Even though nothing goes totally wrong, the night feels:
- polished, but flat
- busy, but not lively
- professional, but oddly joyless
- expensive, but forgettable
- like everyone is waiting for the “proper bit” to start
Thankfully…there’s a better option.
Bring in a 9-piece London function band that knows the room matters!
Snax.band brings female vocals, a four-piece live horn section and a full rhythm section to songs people actually know.
That means big live sound, familiar tunes and arrangements with enough brass, groove and energy to bring the room to life.
- We’re not background music pretending to be entertainment.
- And we’re definitely not a playlist wearing a lanyard.
We’re a 9-piece live function band for corporate events in London that need proper energy—whether that means a relaxed jazz setup for drinks, a full party set after dinner, or both across the same evening!
Live music for company parties, awards nights and work events
Snax.band are available for corporate events across London and beyond.
We’re a great fit for…
Company parties
For work celebrations where you want people to stop hovering near the bar and actually enjoy themselves
Awards nights
Live music for the bit after the speeches, trophies and polite applause, when the room is finally ready to get moving.
Gala dinners
A smaller jazz setup for drinks or dinner, followed by the full band when it’s time to make the evening feel less table-plan and more party
Brand launches
Live entertainment that brings energy to the room without pulling attention away from the reason everyone is there
Conferences and after-parties
For the point in the day when people have heard enough panels, drunk enough coffee and need the evening to really break free a bit
Summer parties and company celebrations
Outdoor events, barbecues, hired venues and work socials that need more than a speaker in the corner and someone’s “office party bangers” Spotify playlist
The aim is always the same: live music that makes the room feel alive and helps work events feel like something worth remembering—without making the organiser nervous!
Smaller jazz setup
Drinks, dinner, networking and lower-key moments.
Full 9-piece band
Vocals, horns, rhythm section and proper party energy.
Full party band, smaller jazz setup, or both
Not every part of a corporate event needs the same kind of music.
Sometimes you want background music first: something relaxed, warm and live while guests arrive, chat, eat, drink or network.
But sometimes, you want the full 9-piece band: vocals, horns, rhythm section and familiar songs to get people onto the dance floor.
And then, sometimes you want both!
That’s where Snax.band works exceptionally well.
We can play a smaller jazz setup for drinks, dinner or networking, then bring in the full band when the event is ready to bring the energy up.
- Smaller jazz setup for cocktails, dinner sets and lower-key moments, so guests can talk without shouting.
- Full 9-piece party band for the high-energy part of the night, so the event actually feels like a celebration.
- Flexible setlists so the music fits the room, not the other way around.
- Live horns and rhythm section, so familiar songs will feel bigger, punchier and more memorable.
If you’re not sure what setup to ask for, that’s totally fine—tell us about what you’re planning and we’ll help you figure it out!
Familiar songs, live arrangements and enough energy to move the room
Corporate events usually have mixed crowds.
Different teams. Different ages. Different music tastes. Different levels of willingness to cut loose and dance in front of coworkers.
The set needs to be broad enough to bring people in—without becoming generic.
Our repertoire mixes jazz, funk, rock and pop, arranged by members of the band specifically for vocals, horns and rhythm section.
Here’s what’s on offer:
- Jazz and swing for cocktails, dinners, networking and smoother moments.
- Rock and pop favourites for broad appeal and mixed crowds.
- Funk, groove and disco touches to keep the rhythm moving.
- Crowd-pleasing classics for the part of the night where people finally stop pretending “they never dance”.
- A few surprises for the right crowd, because sometimes the correct musical choice is slightly ridiculous in exactly the right way.
We’re not here to prove how obscure our taste in music is.
We’re here to play songs people love and recognise, arrange them with proper live energy and help create a night worth remembering.
Built for mixed crowds
Familiar enough to join in. Live enough to feel like an event.
Jazz · Funk · Rock · Pop · Disco · Crowd classics
Professional setup without five extra suppliers to manage
One of the biggest headaches with live music is working out what needs to be arranged separately (believe us when we say…we know).
With Snax.band, the answer is: not much.
We bring what we need to perform, including:
- instruments, including drum kit, keyboard and amplifiers
- microphones, clip mics
- full professional sound system, including mixing desk and front-of-house speakers
- stage lighting
- cabling
- a full 9-piece live band setup
You don’t need to arrange:
- a separate sound engineer; we take care of all of it
- extra cabling
- a separate band PA
- separate microphones
- a separate lighting setup for the band
All we need is:
- a source of power
- access for setup
- space for the band
- space to park a van nearby
- …and space for dancers!
We’ll also discuss the practical details before the event, including timings, setup, sound requirements, playlist music between sets and whether you need microphones for speeches.
Less mystery. Fewer moving parts. And much less of a headache when it can all run without needing constant input from the event organisers.
Why book Snax.band for your corporate event?
Simple: a good corporate event needs more than music.
It needs energy, timing, familiarity, professionalism and a band that understands the event is not about them.
Here’s what makes Snax.band different:
A 9-piece live band
…gives the event scale and presence, so the entertainment feels like a proper part of the evening rather than something bolted on afterwards.
A broad repertoire
…helps with mixed-age, mixed-team crowds so more guests have a way into the music.
Full band or smaller jazz setup
…gives you options, so drinks, dinner and dancing can feel connected rather than stitched together.
Self-contained sound and lighting setup
…reduces supplier faff, so organisers have less setting up to worry about.
Room-first performance
…keeps the focus on guest engagement, so the band supports the event instead of hijacking it.
The best live entertainment doesn’t make people feel like they’re watching something from a safe distance.
It gives them a reason to get involved!
