Photo of Morgan & Melville Acoustic Duo Morgan & Melville Acoustic Duo "Everyone had a LUSH time and thought you both were great. We'd definitely love to have you back. Big love." Based in Swansea, Wales Stu - Stu & Rhys Photo of Rough Justice Rough Justice "Rough Justice were absolutely fantastic. Communication with Greg was brilliant from the start and they tailored their set perfectly for our event. Everyone commented on how great the music was and the fantastic keyboard skills of Mr Rough! Thank you for a great night!!" Based in Ilfracombe, England (29 miles from Swansea) REBECCA O - PRIVATE PARTY, MARRIOTT HOTEL, CARDIFF, SEP 2019 Photo of Funk & Fable Funk & Fable "We couldn’t be happier with Funk and Fable — they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish! They went above and beyond by learning two special songs just for us, which meant so much and made the day even more memorable. They arrived fully prepared, brought all their own equipment, and set everything up seamlessly without any hassle. At one point, we even put them on the spot with a song request they hadn’t prepared, and they still pulled it off brilliantly — it turned into one of the most unforgettable moments of the day. They were also amazing with the kids, even surprising them with a little 'Frozen' performance that had everyone smiling. Truly professional, talented, and thoughtful — we’re so grateful they were part of our day." Based in Blackwood, Wales (32 miles from Swansea) Jack - Wedding Photo of The Wild Sons The Wild Sons "Wow… where to start! One word INCREDIBLE. Booking The Wild Sons was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the acoustic day performance until the very last song, the energy they brought was absolutely incredible. The dance floor was packed all night, and they created the kind of atmosphere we’d always dreamed of. They had everyone up dancing and singing along. We’ve lost count of how many people have told us they were the best wedding band they’ve ever seen. So many of our guests have asked for their name because they were so impressed! Not only are they phenomenally talented musicians, but they were also so friendly and professional throughout the whole process. Alun made everything feel effortless, allowing us to relax and enjoy every second of the day. If you’re looking for a band that will keep the dance floor full, bring incredible energy, and leave your guests talking about your wedding for ages to come, look no further. The Wild Sons were genuinely one of the highlights of our entire day, and we couldn’t have imagined celebrating without them. Thank you for giving us the most unforgettable entertainment - we will be talking about it for the rest of our lives! 🤘🏽🤍" Based in Cardiff, Wales (34 miles from Swansea) 6th October 2026 Beverly Long - Wedding Photo of The Strip Lights The Strip Lights "Have seen The Strip Lights a couple of times before and hired them for a recent party. Brilliant musicians and everyone loved their music. Almost all 70+invites made it on to the dance floor including a couple in their early 80's. Fabulous night and they were excellent at communicating before the event too. Thanks guys! Lynda" Based in Cardiff, Wales (34 miles from Swansea) 13th July 2026 Lynda Townley - Outdoor Birthday Party Photo of The Session Band The Session Band "We hired The Session Band for our wedding in Devon. They were brilliant throughout the whole process from enquiry, to booking, to performing. Before the booking, they also gave us other options to add on if we wanted. Once we booked, they sent over their website with their library of songs. We picked a few we liked and they then built their set from that. They also agreed to play our first dance song that we requested. The band were great when they arrived and were accommodating with us as we were slightly behind schedule. Our guests absolutely loved the band and we had so many positive comments from them. In between the band sets we also went for the DJ and Saxophone option, which were great at getting people dancing towards the end of the night. Overall a brilliant experience and I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding band." Based in Cardiff, Wales (34 miles from Swansea) 3rd November 2025 Aiden Shearer - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring cover bands is £650, with prices from £160 to £2,300+. 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.
