A guide to booking

Hire Acoustic Bands in Peterborough, England, United Kingdom

Acoustic bands in Peterborough, England, United Kingdom play unplugged or lightly amplified, which suits ceremonies, drinks receptions and rooms with a sound limit. Most work from popular songs rearranged for acoustic instruments, and many offer a smaller line-up for the daytime and a fuller one after dinner.

Where Acoustic Bands Work Best

Outdoor ceremonies, marquees and rooms with a strict noise limit are the obvious cases, because an acoustic set carries without a PA fighting the limiter. They also suit long events where the music has to sit under conversation for part of the day and lead it later. Ask whether the band brings its own small PA, since even acoustic acts usually want vocal reinforcement in a larger room.

Acoustic Band Costs in Peterborough

Rates for a duo in Peterborough start at £120 and rise to £1,300+ for a five-piece with full instrumentation, with most bookings around £400. Line-up size is the main variable, followed by how many hours of playing you need and how far the band travels.

5/5 from 2018 reviews
Photo of Liam Edward Golder Liam Edward Golder ""What a fabulous song my friend really cool very Matchbox Twenty and a very cool song for the charts and I will definitely learn the drum parts awesome Liam well done mate". Review of Liam Edward Golder "I Want To Be Bob Marley"." 7th July 2026 Carl Williams (Hot Chocolate) - Gigs Photo of Dagmar & Jacopo (Swing and Jazz Duo) Dagmar & Jacopo (Swing and Jazz Duo) "Fae & Sebastian H. - Per Dagmar & Jacopo - Jazz & Swing Duo 27/08/2026, Wedding Dagmar and Jacopo were truly the voice and soul of our wedding. We booked the duo to accompany the most special moments of our ceremony and aperitivo, and they made both absolutely unforgettable. Dagmar (fluent in so many languages, including the ones that were most important to us: German, English, Italian, and Spanish) enchanted everyone with her beautiful voice while also excelling in her role as our MC. From beginning to end, the collaboration felt warm, personal, and completely on equal footing, while always remaining highly professional. Their beautiful interpretations of songs that hold a very special place in our hearts made some of the most meaningful moments of our wedding even more memorable. And one moment we will definitely never forget: during our ceremony, one of the rings went missing. While everyone embarked on a scavenger hunt across the 2ha garden of the villa, Dagmar and Jacopo reacted quickly & kept playing.. providing the perfect soundtrack and turning this moment into one of the funniest and coolest experiences of the entire day. (Yes, we eventually found the ring! 😊) Thank you, Dagmar and Jacopo, for bringing so much heart, joy, and beautiful music to our wedding. We couldn’t have imagined it without you." 27th August 2026 Fae & Sebastian H. - Wedding Photo of Soupir Soupir "We couldn’t have asked for better musicians for our wedding! From the very beginning, communication was easy, friendly, and flexible. As we don’t speak French, it was especially important to us that communication could also be handled in English, and everything went smoothly throughout the planning process. The performance itself was absolutely wonderful. They are both incredibly talented musicians, and the singer has a truly beautiful voice. The pianist was also excellent, and together they created a fantastic atmosphere for our special day. They listened carefully to our wishes and took all of our requests into consideration, which made the experience feel very personal and special. We received so many compliments from our guests about the music! We highly recommend them to anyone looking for talented, professional, and easy-to-work-with musicians for their wedding. Thank you for making our day even more memorable!" 8th September 2026 Ilari - Private Wedding Photo of Spiritus Mundi Crescentis Spiritus Mundi Crescentis "What a show last night! We're still talking about it at breakfast." 21st September 2026 Adrienne Shulman Photo of Erika Petti Erika Petti "We hired Erika for a private event in Tuscany and it was honestly one of the best decisions we made for the whole trip. We had a group of English friends over for a few days in the Tuscan countryside, and we wanted something special for one of the evenings. Erika came with her guitar and voice and completely won everyone over. She's incredibly versatile, moving easily between Italian classics, jazz, bossa nova and English songs, so there was something for everyone in the group. Beyond the music, she was warm, professional and easy to organise everything with beforehand. She read the room perfectly and adjusted the set as the evening went on, which made the whole night feel effortless. Our friends are still talking about it. Highly recommend her for any private event, big or small, especially if you want a mix of languages and styles done really well" 24th September 2026 Katherine - Private Event 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" 25th September 2026 Antonio Simon Hossen - 60th Anniversary of Independence of Barbados in Geneva, Switzerland
