How much is a rock band for hire in the UK?

You should budget between £250 and £1250 to hire a rock band in the UK. There is no set fee, but by clicking on a rock band's services on Poptop, you may learn how much they charge. The cost varies according to the type of band, travel costs, and other extra services. When you select your favourite band from the wide selection of bands available on the website, you can submit the specifics of your event to receive an instant quotation.

When will a rock band start its set?

Rock bands vary in how long their sets go, but most only begin playing when the crowd is in the right frame of mind to dance, which is typically around the cocktail hour or right before dinner. The performance may start after the visitors have had ample time to finish their evening meal. Our suppliers provide flexible scheduling, so you may talk to them about the ideal time you want the performance to begin. The rock band will also extend the time if required.

Will a rock band play covers or its own songs?

Songs from different musical genres can be found in a rock band's repertoire. A band may perform a cover song during a set. They do seek to ensure that all of the attendees enjoy their playlist, which includes both classic and contemporary rock songs. In any case, the majority of bands like to perform a selection of varied tunes in their own special way to entertain the crowd. If you have any questions or requests, don't hesitate to get in touch with your preferred supplier on Poptop.

I couldn't have booked a better band. From start to finish the Run For Cover lads were fantastic. Ben made things really easy, fitted in with my requests for the performance. The band were set up well ahead of time. They gave us five hours of exceptional music and performance. Everyone loved them. We'll be happy to book them again! Thank you guys for making a great party perfect.

A & R what can I say, absolutely amazing a couple of songs in and lights down everyone hit the dance floor. Amazing from start to Finish I wish they could have stayed longer. If I was booking any future events, they would be the first person I contact to see if they are available. Great Memories made in those couple of hours of performing from Our first dance and getting the oldies up to some great music. Thank you for making…

These guys were brilliant, on the night and throughout the whole process. They'd even learned a pretty obscure special request so my wife could suprise me with a song! Would greatly recommend.
