Q: How much do acoustic bands cost in Waterford?

The average cost of hiring acoustic bands is €500, with prices from €150 to €1,700+. Pricing depends on the number of band members, performance duration and whether additional equipment such as a PA system is included. Acoustic bands vary widely in line-up, from duos to larger ensembles, and this is typically the biggest factor in cost.

Q: What style of music do acoustic bands play?

The acoustic bands for hire perform a wide range of genres in an acoustic or unplugged style, including pop, rock, folk, indie, country and classic hits. The acoustic format gives songs a more intimate and relaxed feel, making it a versatile choice for many types of events.

Q: What events are acoustic bands suitable for?

Common events for acoustic bands include weddings, drinks receptions, garden parties, intimate corporate events, restaurants and venues with noise restrictions. The softer acoustic sound allows guests to enjoy live music while still being able to hold conversations.

Q: How many musicians are typically in an unplugged group?

The acoustic bands on Gig Heaven range from solo acoustic performers and duos up to full acoustic ensembles of four or five musicians. A smaller act suits intimate settings, while a larger group provides a fuller sound. Many acts offer flexible line-up options depending on the event.

Q: Can acoustic bands also perform amplified sets?

Many acoustic bands offer the flexibility to switch between acoustic and amplified sets during an event. This allows the music to start quietly during dinner or drinks and build in energy later in the evening. It is worth discussing this option with the band when making an enquiry.

Q: Do acoustic bands need a power supply at the venue?

Some acoustic bands perform entirely unplugged and need no power at all, while others use small amplifiers or microphones that require a standard power outlet. For outdoor events, a portable power source may be needed. It is a good idea to confirm any power requirements with the band before the event.

Richard Sneyd – Wedding Guitarist & Singer "Really happy with how the evening went. Richard was easy to deal with, professional throughout, and his music brought a nice warmth to the event." Based in Dungarvan, Munster (25 miles from Waterford) Emma Fitzpatrick - Private Event

Poems Ago "We were thrilled to have Poems Ago play for our ceremony. It is a very special memory that we'll cherish forever." Based in Gorey, Leinster (45 miles from Waterford) 19th August 2026 Aisling O'Keeffe - Private Wedding

Asgards Traditional Irish Music "We had the Asgards play at the day 2 of our wedding in September to a mixed audience of British and Irish guests and they were absolutely phenomenal! We really wanted our guests to experience some traditional Irish music as part of our wedding celebration and Asgards were the perfect band for that!" Based in Kildare, Leinster (63 miles from Waterford) 23rd October 2026 Cathyrn & Donal - Wedding Day 2, Tyrrellstown House, Dublin

Swingy duo "We were very lucky to have Alice and Fernando travel up the country and perform at our wedding. We had them perform at both our drinks reception and the after-dinner entertainment. We had given a few suggestions like to play some ‘summery rock music but in their own style’ as well as performing their own style of music, and they absolutely delivered! They are both extremely talented and it was such a unique musical act to hear at a wedding which was exactly what we wanted! We were so happy with everything they did and highly recommend them. The only downside was that myself and the groom were not able to just sit and listen to them playing as we were so busy throughout the day 😂" Based in Limerick, Munster (70 miles from Waterford) Ciara C - Wedding

Steven Knight Music (Ireland) "Steven was great. Total professional and really enjoyable." Based in Kilcock, Leinster (81 miles from Waterford) 13th September 2026 Orla Treacy - Donabate Golf Club

Barrio Cubano "The guys put on an excellent set and we recieved lots of compliements from our guests. They were very professional and organised. Arrived pleanty of time in advance and communicated clearly with us from before we booked to the day of our event!" Based in Dublin, Leinster (83 miles from Waterford) 29th August 2026 Eoin - Summer Barbacue
