Soul Bands in PrestonMost of what decides whether a booking runs smoothly is settled before the band arrives, and it depends on the room. Venues in Preston, 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 Preston come in around £700 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 Preston, England, United Kingdom is £700 (GBP). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Relative Cool
"We thought Relative Cool were absolutely brilliant when they played at our wedding. The vocalist was fabulous! The 3 sets filled the whole evening and definitely had everyone up dancing. I also really appreciated little things like the singer chatting with one of the kids while they had a break between sets. They were thoroughly professional throughout. We spoke to Tom before the evening and he was always really responsive with messages. We would definitely recommend them and thank you very much for making it a great evening!"
The Funtime Frankies
"Amazing from start to finish - talented, fun, energetic, feel good - you just want to dance! Have played at a few functions for us and would definitely want them to entertain us again in the future! 9 Piece - Awesome!!!"
The Fourmost
"I just thought I’d drop you a line to congratulate you on the tremendous contribution The Fourmost made to our recent cruise aboard the Celebrity Eclipse. The set you performed on Deck 3 in the foyer on the Sunday was really fantastic and I’m sure you’ll have appreciated the enthusiastic reception and sing-a-long that accompanied it. It was, after the technical issues you encountered, certainly well worth waiting for and a positive highlight of the weekend’s entertainment.
So after an extended break to include visiting my partner’s new grandson, I’m now back at home and have been checking your website for future concerts near our home in York and to see if any live performances were available on CD that would provide a lasting reminder of the weekend. Sadly at the present time, it would appear that there are no concerts in our area and it may be we have to leave it until you’re in Whitby next year. Even more disappointing though, is the discovery that you have no live material on CD – do you have any plans to release any ?
Anyway that aside, let me congratulate you once again, wish you all the best for the remainder of your 2019 gigs and most of all, thank you for keeping the music alive."
That 80s Thing
"We booked That 80's Thing for our 40th work celebration.
They were fantastic and had everyone up dancing to 80's tunes we all knew.
Would book again"
Mustard
"Absolutely incredible band! We booked for our wedding with request for our first dance and they smashed it completely! They gave our day the best possible vibe and got every single person up on their feet! Cannot recommend more, they were just brilliant!"
The Distance
"Soph & Matt played for our wedding in September and were absolutely fantastic! Not only did they include songs we had requested for the playlist but knew how to play perfectly for the crowd. All guests loved them, from our 5 year old cousins and friends in their twenties to parents and my 80 year old nan-in-law. The dance floor was never empty - I can testify that all dancers never stopped moving. I want to thank Soph & Matt for making our wedding reception, it was truly amazing and guests are still talking about them nearly 5 months on. An awesome wedding band!"
