Acoustic Band Hire FAQs

Got questions about hiring a party band with an acoustic sound? Our expert answers below will guide you through everything you need to know to book the perfect versatile act!

Contact Us

Where can I hire Acoustic Bands in the UK?

Hire premium Acoustic Bands through Tailored Entertainment, a trusted UK live music agency. We represent the country’s top acts, with booking details available on our website. Every booking is secured by a formal contract, typically requiring a 20% deposit to confirm, with the balance due 28 days before your event. Our bands perform nationwide, from the South East to the North West and everything in between.

Are these acoustic bands loud enough for a party?

Absolutely. While our bands focus on an acoustic aesthetic (acoustic guitars, minimal production), their performances are fully amplified through professional sound systems, ensuring they are loud enough to fill any venue and get your guests dancing all night long. The only bands that will perform unamplified are our roaming bands - they will move around the event space and entertain your guests close-up!

How much does it cost to hire an Acoustic Band?

Prices for professional Acoustic Bands start at around £750 for duos and trios and £1,375 for 4-piece bands, ensuring top-tier musicians, high-quality equipment and production suitable for any venue. Costs vary based on band size (duo, trio, full band), event type and performance requirements.

Do Acoustic Bands only play folk or mellow music?

Not at all. Our bands are hired as versatile party acts. While they have the intimate sound of acoustic instruments, their repertoire is extensive, covering everything from rock classics and pop hits to modern dance tracks, all creatively arranged to suit their acoustic style. They are designed to fill a dance floor!

Can Acoustic Bands perform during drinks receptions?

Yes, this is where many of our Acoustic Bands excel. They commonly offer relaxed, unplugged sets perfect for drinks receptions or wedding breakfasts, creating a warm, sophisticated atmosphere. Many acts offer this as a cost-effective upgrade to their main booking.

How far in advance should I book an Acoustic Band?

We recommend booking your Acoustic Band 12 to 18 months in advance, especially for peak dates like summer weekends. Popular acts are often booked early, so securing your band sooner ensures the best selection of high-quality performers for your event.

How long do Acoustic Bands perform?

Most Acoustic Bands perform 2 x 60-minute or 3 x 40-minute live sets as standard, delivering high-energy, stripped-back party music. All Tailored Entertainment bands include a bespoke DJ service before and after their sets, ensuring seamless entertainment throughout your event.

Will my Acoustic Band perform a special request or first dance?

Yes, our bands are delighted to learn and perform a special request, such as a first dance for weddings or a key song for corporate or party events. We’ll confirm your choice in advance to allow ample preparation time.

Do Acoustic Bands provide their own equipment?

Yes, all Tailored Entertainment Acoustic Bands are fully self-contained, bringing premium sound and lighting equipment. A bespoke DJ service is included as standard, covering all your event’s entertainment needs in one booking.
