Soul Bands in CorkMost of what decides whether a booking runs smoothly is settled before the band arrives, and it depends on the room. Venues in Cork, Munster, Ireland range from function suites with a house PA and a fixed curfew to marquees and outdoor terraces where everything has to be carried in, and the same five-piece behaves quite differently in each.
A four or five-piece needs roughly 4 by 3 metres of flat, dry floor, more once a drum riser or a brass section is involved, plus two or three power sockets within reach of the stage area. Check the load-in route early, because stairs, a long carry from the car park, or a lift too small for a bass cabinet all add time, and some acts charge for it. Ask about a sound limiter before you commit to anything: a limiter set low will cut the power mid-song, and there is no way around it once you are there. Curfews work the same way, since an 11pm finish moves the whole running order earlier than most people expect.
Saturdays in peak season and the whole of December go first, often a year out, so the band you want can end up fixing your date rather than the other way round. Distance shows up on a quote as travel, and occasionally as accommodation when the finish time makes the drive home impractical. Friday and Sunday bookings widen the field considerably if the date is flexible. Ask what the travel figure covers, since some acts price it into the fee within a set radius and charge separately beyond it.
Most bookings in Cork come in around €800 for two live sets, with duos and trios below that and larger lineups with brass or extra vocalists above it. What varies more than the headline figure is what sits inside it. Check what the quote covers: travel, a DJ set or playlist between sets, and how long the band plays in total rather than how many sets they perform. Most acts take a deposit to hold the date with the balance due close to the event, and overtime is normally charged in half-hour blocks, so agree the finish time in writing rather than on the night.
The average price for Cover Bands available in Cork, Munster, Ireland is €800 (EUR). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.
Let It Bleed
"What can I say, what an amazing band! Booked for the celebration of life for my dad who was a massive stones fan and it was better than I could have ever imagined. The sound was great, not gimmicky, just a great band playing the best stones song. 80 guests and everyone said how good they were. One thing that sets the bar high for them is I asked for a song that isn't typically found on a stones set list but holds deep sentiment to myself, with only a weeks notice I didn't think they'd be able to do it....and they did! Such a lovely way to remember my dad....he would have absolutely loved it! Thank you so much guys!
P.s. sorry it took so long to write this review!"

Julian Christopher
"Julian played the saxophone for the first hour as our guests arrived for my dad's birthday, and he was absolutely brilliant. His performance created the perfect atmosphere and set the tone for a wonderful celebration. The music was elegant, relaxed, and beautifully played, with everyone commenting on how much they enjoyed it.
Julian was professional, friendly, and a pleasure to have at the event. His talent really added something special to the day, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic saxophonist for their event."
