Based in Beverley, England (30 miles from Scarborough) 20th January 2026 Rob, Lindy Fridays - Lindy Hop Christmas Party Photo of Phil Richards Music Phil Richards Music "Phil played at our wedding 2 days ago at Lincoln Castle. His standard of performance was really excellent, fantastic singer. Phil took the time to learn our first dance song too and played it perfectly. Since it was a such hot day Phil also improvised and moved his kit around so as to play outside for a time (it was getting very warm in our TeePees) which gave a really chilled out and relaxed feel to the day, playing with the beautiful backdrop of Lincoln Castle with guests sitting on hay bails and dancing was special too. A 10/10 service for sure (I think my cousin even tried to book him for their wedding next year too such was his level of performance and friendly persona). Thanks for being part of our special day Phil, we really appreciate it. Samantha & Michael."

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring acoustic bands is £420, 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.
