The premier corporate event band in Manchester
Elevate your Manchester event with a six-piece live funk, soul, and reggae band. From MediaCity galas to Deansgate Christmas parties, Yubaba deliver high-energy performances with zero logistical stress.
Handling City Centre Logistics
Booking a live band for a central Manchester venue comes with a unique set of challenges, from loading equipment up service elevators to navigating strict sound limits and tight corporate schedules. Based just down the M56, we are on Manchester's doorstep and highly experienced in large-scale corporate gigs. We pride ourselves on punctuality, seamless setups, and working flawlessly alongside venue AV teams.
Victoria Warehouse & Albert Hall - When you need a high-energy, festival-style finale for a tech summit or massive Christmas party, our six piece band fills these iconic industrial spaces perfectly. We know how to match the "cool factor" of these venues.
The Midland Hotel & Kimpton Clocktower - A prestigious setting for gala dinners and awards. We are experienced in handling the logistics of city centre load ins here, ensuring a seamless setup without disrupting your afternoon conference sessions.
The Point at Emirates Old Trafford - A massive, purpose-built corporate space where we can provide the huge sound, dynamic lighting, and professional presence needed to match the scale of your event.
Tailored Soundtracks for Manchester Events
Every corporate event we play is different. We don't just turn up and play a standard set; we tailor our performance to your itinerary. Here is how we typically structure our corporate entertainment:
The Drinks Reception (Chilled Soul & Reggae)
Perfect for networking, arrivals, and warming up the room.
Expect smooth, sophisticated covers of classics like Let's Stay Together (Al Green), Is This Love (Bob Marley), and Son of a Preacher Man (Dusty Springfield).
The Awards & Gala Dinner (Stings & Walk-ups)
Need upbeat, 10-second bursts of music as award winners walk to the stage? We provide high-impact, live "stings" to keep the energy up and the crowd engaged between speeches and presentations.
The Party Starter (High-Energy Funk & Club Classics)
When the formalities are over and it's time for the team to let their hair down.
We blend classic funk with unique takes on modern club anthems. Expect a packed dance floor to tracks like Show Me Love (Robin S), You Don't Know Me (Armand Van Helden), Gold Dust (DJ Fresh), and Valerie (Amy Winehouse).
Seamless Logistics & The "Sound Limiter" Solution
We know that booking corporate entertainment can come with a lot of red tape. We make it completely stress-free.
Sound Limiters? No Problem. Many Manchester venues have strict sound limiters. We run a "silent stage" using in-ear monitoring and an ampless stage. This means we can perfectly control our volume to suit the venue's requirements without losing the punchy, live band energy.
Fully Compliant. We carry up to date Public Liability Insurance (PLI) and all of our equipment is fully PAT tested. We will email these certificates directly to your venue coordinator as soon as you book, ticking one more job off your list.
