Soul Bands in BasingstokeMost of what decides whether a booking runs smoothly is settled before the band arrives, and it depends on the room. Venues in Basingstoke, England, United Kingdom 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 Basingstoke come in around £650 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 Basingstoke, England, United Kingdom is £650 (GBP). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.
Ladies of Jazz and Swing
"Dagmar and her accompanist are the real deal. While deciding who to hire I watched her videos on here performing to larger crowds but we hired her to perform for just nine people prior to a dinner party and they did not disappoint. Dagmar's inimitable sultry vocals as well as her repertoire are perfect for this genre of music and her professional playful nature was felt by everyone. Her piano player was truly transcendent providing intervals of technique and skill you don't often find with accompanist. They also were very accommodating with song selection and timing during the evening.
We all loved them!"
Rolling Over Band
"The band performed at my wedding and we were pleasantly surprised and couldn’t be happier with the band’s performance. They are true professionals, and we would gladly invite them to perform at one of our events again."
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."
Marcella Jones & Brown Liquor Band
"I've seen them perform twice and they put on a great show! They have not disappointed. The lead singer, Marcella, is a lot of fun."
Adriana
"Adriana is a beautiful person as well as a gifted performer."
The Major B
"Looking for a soulful artist to play at your event? Look no further. From the very beginning I had a good feeling about Bryan and Bella and they did not disappoint. Bella sings beautifully and Bryan is a real genius when it comes to instruments. We had a song request to start our wedding ceremony that was a bit unusual and they turned it into sth exceptionally beautiful that immediately created a great atmosphere. They also were great at the reception and we had so many guests commenting about their great music. Thanks again, Bryan and Bella, we are so glad we found you! You made our wedding very special. ♥️ V& K"
