5/5 from 45 reviews
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 Casrol Heyes - Birthday Party 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 (22 miles from Leicester) 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 (29 miles from Leicester) Sarah Photo of Unit 4 Unit 4 "What a fantastic evening. We just picked this band after listening to their music on the website and couldn’t have chosen better. Ollie responded to all our emails and questions. The band turned up when they said they would, set up and even put on strobe lighting to add to the party atmosphere. They played all the songs we requested from their playlist and more and had the majority of party goers up on the dance floor for most of the night, many of whom also commented on how good the music was. We had a fantastic evening of music and wouldn’t hesitate to ask Unit 4 to play for us again or recommend them. Thank you Unit 4 for a great evening of entertainment." Based in Northampton, England (29 miles from Leicester) Louise Bryer - Party Photo of Sound of Steel Steelband Sound of Steel Steelband "What a fantastic performance, Jason the Pannist! We are grateful to him for making the occasion unforgettable. He is a charismatic individual who engages the people and gets them to dance. Jason, thank you for organizing the celebration for all of us. Best regards, Antonio" Based in Solihull, England (31 miles from Leicester) 25th September 2026 Antonio Simon Hossen - 60th Anniversary of Independence of Barbados in Geneva, Switzerland Photo of The Peas The Peas "Hi Kelvin and Kelly, Lee and I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you both for the wonderful job you did at our wedding drinks reception. We loved your music and also playing for me down the isle and during the ceremony was magical as we knew it would be and were so pleased with the positive feedback from all the guests. You guys are so talented! Thanks again, Harriet and Lee 4/2019" Based in Warwick, England (31 miles from Leicester) Harriet Burrows - Private Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring acoustic bands is £400, with prices from £120 to £1,350+. 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.
