Frequently asked questions

The average price for 1950s era musicians & bands on Gig Heaven is currently €500, with prices ranging from €140 to €1,800+. Pricing typically depends on band size, the length of the performance and whether the act provides its own sound equipment. Most acts specialise in rock 'n' roll, doo-wop and early rhythm and blues hits, so listening to profile samples is a good way to compare what each performer offers.

Hiring 1950s era musicians & bands is a great choice for retro-themed parties, 1950s rock and roll nights, milestone birthday celebrations, weddings and corporate events. The high-energy style of 1950s music is particularly effective at getting guests of all ages onto the dance floor.
