Reviews of Acoustic Bands based near Newport

5/5 from 69 reviews
Photo of Funk & Fable Funk & Fable "We couldn’t be happier with Funk and Fable — they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish! They went above and beyond by learning two special songs just for us, which meant so much and made the day even more memorable. They arrived fully prepared, brought all their own equipment, and set everything up seamlessly without any hassle. At one point, we even put them on the spot with a song request they hadn’t prepared, and they still pulled it off brilliantly — it turned into one of the most unforgettable moments of the day. They were also amazing with the kids, even surprising them with a little 'Frozen' performance that had everyone smiling. Truly professional, talented, and thoughtful — we’re so grateful they were part of our day." Based in Blackwood, Wales (11 miles from Newport) Jack - Wedding Photo of TKate Cello TKate Cello "Tabitha was absolutely wonderful as our wedding cellist. She was professional and brought lovely personal touches to every aspect of her performance. She took the time to understand the tone of our day, and played with such sensitivity and emotion that it added a truly intimate touch to the ceremony. Her music was not only beautiful—it elevated the entire atmosphere. So many of our guests commented on how moving the music was and how warm and approachable Tabitha seemed. We couldn’t have asked for a more meaningful contribution to our wedding day." Based in Cardiff, Wales (11 miles from Newport) Matthew Barrell - Wedding Photo of Cat's Claw Ceilidh Band Cat's Claw Ceilidh Band "Wow, what a wonderful evening! Last Friday night was so much fun and it was such a real pleasure to collaborate with you all at Cat's Claw. It was a magical night and it was lovely to see the two worlds of music come together so successfully. Our musicians from the BBC National Orchestra of Wales very much enjoyed working with you all and it was great to hear that you too all had a great time. I also think that from the audience's reaction that everyone who was present also very much enjoyed the evening. In particular, my Mum absolutely LOVED the evening and was blown away by hearing all of the music that she loves so much played so brilliantly! Sincere thanks for your invaluable contribution to such a special evening celebrating St David's Day." Based in Cardiff, Wales (11 miles from Newport) Suzanne; BBC orchestra organiser - St David's Day Concert, BBC National Orchestra of Wales; March 2019 Photo of SWTH duo SWTH duo "Tom and his partner were nothing short of fantastic! Really great communication, very accommodating with our requests and were brilliant musicians. It was for a friends stag do - we wanted some background jazz tunes for a bbq and then a more fun interactive set which they were able to provide. All round good fun. Would highly recommend!" Based in Cardiff, Wales (11 miles from Newport) Sean - Nolan Photo of The Session Acoustic The Session Acoustic "The crowd were on the dance floor from the minute they started to the minute they finished. The lighting rig, disco and range of songs played were all outstanding. Each song played to an exceptional standard. They even learnt a new song for us with only days to go before the wedding. If you are looking for a band for the most important day of your life then Session are the one. They helped make our wedding the most memorable day we will ever have. A big thanks to everyone at The Session Band." Based in Cardiff, Wales (11 miles from Newport) Jennifer & David Williams - Private Event Photo of The String Quartet Company The String Quartet Company "Thank you all so very much! Your beautiful accompaniment to the proceedings lifted our enjoyment of the day to a whole new level." Based in Cardiff, Wales (11 miles from Newport) Annabelle - Birthday Party

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring acoustic bands is £410, 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.
