Manifest are a sensational 6- to 18-piece function band. They have a reputation as one of the most flexible party bands in the UK – starting the evening with up-tempo jive and swing numbers to get audiences of all ages on the dancefloor, before moving on to pop, Motown and soul music to keep you there all night.

Manifest has been performing up and down the country for 15 years, and are one of the most in-demand function bands in the UK today. Previous clients include Ferrari, BMW, Sony, Bentley, Triumph, Virgin, Lindt Chocolate and E-On and previous venues include Claridge's Hotel, Pinewood Studios, The Shard, Wembley Stadium and the Natural History Museum. They have performed at the Eiffel Tower in Paris and as far afield as Amman, Jordan and Marrakesh, Morocco. The band plays a huge range of music from the Swing, Soul and Motown eras - and the setlist is carefully planned to appeal to audiences of all ages, getting everyone on the dance floor all night long. Alongside authentic covers of some of the best music of the 20^th Century, the band can perform their own vintage re-workings of modern songs in the style of Postmodern Jukebox – if you fancy hearing Crazy in Love as a 1920s Charleston, this is the band for you!

Manifest is also able to provide musical entertainment for other parts of your event - from classical music for your wedding ceremony to background jazz music for the drinks reception. With a wealth of experience performing at hundreds of events and venues throughout the country, Manifest have all the ingredients to make your event a success.
