Roaming Quarter
London Wandering & Fully Acoustic Band
Fully Acoustic Wandering
Evening Party
Roaming Quarter are one of London's finest fully acoustic wandering bands. They are like a mix between a New Orleans Brass Band, and Mumford and Sons doing all your favourite tunes. They have unstoppable energy, quirky arrangements, and a unique line-up of double sax, harmony vocals, drumpet (drums / trumpet), mandolin, and acoustic guitar that you won't see anywhere else. The band are experienced performers having performed all over the world in various guises. Their lead vocalist Jamie is a DJ and producer who really knows how to work a crowd. They'll have you and your guests going wild with their infectious sounds, and positive vibe.
The band are available to hire for drinks receptions, wedding ceremonies, networking events, or fetes and parties all over the UK and abroad. Their wandering set can be booked on it's own or if you want to use the same band for the whole day they can rock up with drums, double bass, electric guitars, and pump up the volume for evening dancing.

Please pass on our sincere thanks to the band for Saturday. They were great, and people are still telling us how much fun they had in the evening because of the music. Aaron - Married Sept 2018
These guys were the band providing great music and entertainment at my son's wedding. The mix of tunes catered for all ages and the final song of Chasing Cars was the best I've ever heard. True chemistry between the group with fantastic lead vocals and a band that can really bring an event of any kind to life. Father of the groom - 8th Sept 2018
Hi Andy, Just want to say a massive belated thanks to the band! Better than we ever could’ve imagined; entertained from first to last, making the day truly memorable. All the best for the future, will be sure to recommend to friends etc. James & Dilly - Wedding 4th August 2018
Apologies this is somewhat belated but I just wanted to thank you for contributing in making Angus and Georgina’s wedding such an amazing and memorable event.You were truly amazing. - Jane - Mother of the Bride - 30th June 2018
I just wanted to let you know that we were really pleased with our choice of The Northern Quarter to play at our wedding. They were so much fun and the quality of their music was brilliant. They were professional and reliable and also put up with the groom insisting he wanted to be on stage (repeatedly)! Please thank all of the lads from us for making the evening of our wedding such a success. Everything ran very smoothly and we didn't need to worry about anything. All of the guests (of all ages) have been saying how brilliant they were. Thanks for all of your helping leading up to the day too. Amy and Hari - 1st June 2018 - Wedding
Hi Andy, Could you please pass on my whole-hearted thanks to the band for their amazing performance at our wedding. We were running behind schedule but that didn't stop them from giving us the full set and then some! People haven't stopped talking about them and as the bride, I personally couldn't have been happier. Thanks so much and will recommend them to future wedding planners for sure! Kind regards, Christine Married 22nd July 2017
Hi Andy, I trust the band all made it home safely. Please will you pass on our thanks for an amazing performance by the band, they were awesome. Their music was exceptionally popular and the dance floor was filled from the first dance to the last. I am sure Ted helped by getting the crowd to chant "one more song" as the room was filled with laughter and urging him on. (Ted is 7 going on 27 and a true festival fan). They obviously enjoyed our Northern friendliness and hospitality and spent some time with the guests late into the night (or should that be morning!!) Thank you again for organising them. All worked perfectly. Our kind regards, Sue & Eric Larmett
Thank you SO much for making our wedding so bloody awesome! Everyone has told us you’re the best band they’ve seen. You MADE our wedding!! Loved the sax player coming out into the crowd and helping sing along to Teenage Dirtbag!! THANK YOU for the bottom of our hearts. Backstreets Back was an epic encore choice � Emily and Cameron - Married 17.11.17
Northern quarter played at our wedding in October and honestly they made the day! Everyone loved them! The oldies, the kiddies and especially the single ladies ;)! They are not your typical wedding band- they are fresh and modern and unusual! I've lost track of the number of people who have called to tell us how great they were! Thanks so much guys! Laoise Mary Married October 2017
I had these guys come play at my bar after seeing them busking in Kingston. They did a great job of getting the crowd going, and everyone clearly felt very comfortable watching them. - Huseyin, The Library Club, Kingston.
You guys were absolutely awesome - we've had lots of comments from guests saying how great you were and we loved you too! Thanks for filling the dance floor! Sam Married 2017[instagram-feed]
