Everyone was up and dancing. Bethany & Galan were so lovely and we felt that they enjoyed the night as much as we did. Look no further BOOK BETHANY & BRO thank you guys we loved you." Based in Godmanchester, England (18 miles from Peterborough) Julie S - Birthday Party Photo of Limelight function/covers band Limelight function/covers band "Amazing band. Great songs and a fantastic singer. Easy to deal with and everyone had a brilliant time. Thanks guys xxx" Based in Bedford, England (32 miles from Peterborough) Joanna Chapillon - Private function 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."

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.
