The Hope Street Busking Band are a group of lifelong friends, who have been playing together in various forms for 15 years. Starting out busking on the streets of Liverpool, the band quickly garnered attention from passers by and before long were taking bookings for events all over the country.
A decade has since past and The Hope Street Busking Band have grown into a well loved and trusted name in the functions scene, having played together in countries as far flung as Italy, Russia, Thailand, and even The Gambia.
What really makes this band a stand out is their unique mix of talent, humour and heart. Great friends working as a tight unit that never miss a beat, the boys are guaranteed to bring a warm family atmosphere and an experience you'll never forget.
In their time performing together the band have featured on the BBC's Children in Need, the Simon Mayo show and supported the band Morcheeba with their original music. A group of absolute processionals, the band also has their own full time bookings manager and customer liaison, meaning every experience is tailor made to you and packed full of personal details. As well as a full band dance floor filling party atmosphere, the band can provide stripped back afternoon perfomances, relaxed background music and even an after hours DJ service.
