Reviews of Acoustic Bands based near Derby

5/5 from 42 reviews
Photo of Lady Rose Lady Rose "Lady Rose were our wedding entertainment and they were absolutely phenomenal. Jo's voice is incredible and their repertoire is extensive. Our first dance song was beautiful and all of our guests had a great time. We added on the DJ package and suggested the type of songs we enjoyed. Every song was great and they even took guest requests (at one point everyone was doing the Conga). We would 100% recommend Lady Rose for any event as the quality of their performance is outstanding. Their communication was great, they provided lots of options for songs & sets and made everything easy." Based in Nottingham, England (14 miles from Derby) Ruth Rockey - Private Wedding Photo of Ben Foulds Music Ben Foulds Music "Ben was great, punctual, polite and self sufficient. Adapted to last minute venue changes due to adverse weather conditions, he took it all in his stride and coped with the quirkinesses of the event brilliantly. Great voice, great musician, great price!!!" Based in Lichfield, England (22 miles from Derby) Sarah Photo of The Anthems The Anthems "Played last night at our birthday bash - they got everyone dancing - even the blokes! Absolutely brilliant and utterly professional. Worth every penny. Thanks for a great evening gentlemen." Based in Leicester, England (24 miles from Derby) Casrol Heyes - Birthday Party Photo of Megan Kate - Wedding and Events Singer Megan Kate - Wedding and Events Singer "If you are thinking of having a singer at your wedding or event you need Megan! She sang all day at our wedding (February 2022) and completely transformed the day. She added so much emotion with her incredible voice! So many of our guests commented on how beautifully she sang each part of our day. She was available whenever we needed leading up to the wedding, meeting us at our venue and planning each part of our day to perfection. Nothing was too much trouble and she honestly bent over backwards to accommodate us, especially after having to change our original date 3 times! We cannot thank you enough Megan xx" Based in Birmingham, England (35 miles from Derby) Sarah & David - Wedding Photo of Playlisters Playlisters "A fantastic and talented group of guys! They had everyone up on the dance floor and were an absolute pleasure to have. I would highly recommend." Based in Birmingham, England (35 miles from Derby) Jim S - Birthday Party Photo of Artume String Quartet Artume String Quartet "I just wanted to thank you for Saturday. Everyone I’ve spoken to said you were amazing." Based in Birmingham, England (35 miles from Derby) Rob and Amy Rhead

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring acoustic bands is £410, with prices from £120 to £1,300+. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
