Thanks for a great evening gentlemen." Based in Leicester, England Casrol Heyes - Birthday Party Photo of One Size Fits All One Size Fits All "One Size Fits All is a party band that knows how to get a crowd moving. With two vocalists and a 4 piece horn section, they played a 50th birthday party and had everyone on their feet. The band is tight and energetic, and their repertoire spans a wide range of genres." Based in Leicester, England David and Susan Browning - 50th Birthday Party Photo of HiFi Driveby HiFi Driveby "Can't recommend this band enough! We booked hifidriveby for our fundraising dinner dance and we had an amazing night. They turned up on time, setup quickly and played so many of my favourite songs that my feet hurt from dancing. they even held a dance off. Obviously the girls won. Will definitely be booking them for our Christmas party."

They came an hour earlier for set up, were proffessional and easy going. Started with mellow songs and in an hour got everybody from kids to 70+ year olds dancing to the funky notes. GG's voice is amazing! She has a lovely aura and able flex her style to the mood of the group. Can't thank enough for this memorable evening."

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring cover bands is £650, with prices from £150 to £2,150+. Pricing is mainly driven by the number of band members, performance duration and whether the band supplies its own sound and lighting equipment. Cover bands range from small acoustic acts to large party bands, so the line-up and production level have the biggest impact on cost.

Many cover bands are happy to learn a specific song for a first dance or other special moment. To get the best results, make this request as early as possible, as some songs require additional rehearsal. Most bands will learn at least one special request at no extra charge.

Most cover bands are self-contained and provide their own PA system, instruments, amplifiers and stage lighting for standard event venues. For larger spaces or outdoor events, additional equipment may be required. It is a good idea to confirm all technical and staging details with the band before booking.

The cover bands for hire cover a huge range of genres including pop, rock, soul, funk, disco, indie, hip hop and current chart hits. Many cover bands specialise in a particular era or style, while others offer a broad mix designed to appeal to all ages and tastes. Browsing band profiles on Gig Heaven is the best way to find the right musical fit.

Hiring cover bands is one of the most popular entertainment choices for weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, festivals and private celebrations. A good cover band plays recognisable songs that get guests singing and dancing, making them a reliable option for events where a full dance floor is the goal.

Standard performance times for cover bands are two to three hours, usually split into two or three sets. Many function bands offer DJ or background music services between sets, and some can extend their evening with additional acoustic or DJ-only slots. Performance formats can usually be adjusted to fit the event schedule.
