People kept asking us for days after " Who are the band?" They were amazing. Highly recommend and fantastic set list. Thank you so much xxx" Based in Southampton, England 20th January 2026 Beau H - Birthday Party Photo of The Boppers The Boppers "We recently had the pleasure of having ‘Big Town Boppers’ perform at our wedding, and we cannot recommend them enough. From the moment they started playing, the dance floor was packed with guests of all ages. The band's energy was contagious, and they had a way of getting everyone on their feet and dancing. Their setlist was a perfect mix of old and new hits. The lead singer was engaging with our guests, and the entire band was incredibly talented. They brought a level of professionalism and enthusiasm that made our wedding unforgettable. Throughout the planning process, the band was easy to work. On the day of the wedding, they arrived early to set up and soundcheck, and they just got on with setting up. We received so many compliments from our guests about how fantastic the band was, and we couldn't agree more. If you're looking for a band that will make your wedding reception a night to remember, look no further than the ‘Boppers’!" Based in Southampton, England Charles Thatcher - Wedding Photo of Femme Fatale Femme Fatale "This duo are amazing ,their look ,their sound is amazing The synthesizer set up is brilliant and pa and lazer show just stunning Will book again" Based in Southampton, England Mr pete marshell - Private

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring cover bands is £700, with prices from £150 to £2,250+. 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.

The cover bands 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
