Reviews of Indie Bands available in Lake District

5/5 from 359 reviews
Photo of The Black Marcs The Black Marcs "The Black Marcs played for us at our Jubilee picnic on 4th June 2022 in Tollerton village. From beginning to end Mark was genuinely very friendly, helpful, easy going and professional to deal with. The band played a wide range of crowd pleasers suitable for all ages and everyone enjoyed their music. I highly recommend them as a live band for any event - you won't be disappointed." Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, England Yvonne B Photo of The Arrival The Arrival "We booked the band for our wedding party - they were brilliant! Loads of energy, very entertaining for all tastes in music. Our guests all commented how good they were, definitely recommend......thanks guys" Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, England Claire Gafney - Wedding Photo of The Firebeats The Firebeats "Thank you for a wonderful night!! We hope to see you again in 2024." Based in Stockton-on-Tees, England The Manager - NYE @The Ripon Inn Photo of The Woolers The Woolers "The Woolers didn't just play our wedding - they MADE our wedding! They're fantastic musicians and put together a setlist that played perfectly to the crowd, followed by 2x 45 minute bandeoke sets to close out the night. They brought so much energy and fun to the night that we completely lost track of time, with our guests jumping up to sing with them until we got kicked out of the venue. Music played a huge role in our wedding and these guys delivered. What's more, they helped me surprise my wife by learning an original song that I'd written and playing this with me, going so far as to set up my equipment to keep things under wraps. This involved a substantial amount of planning and I couldn't have pulled it off without their professionalism and excellent communication in the run up to the big day. They went above and beyond at every stage and I can't recommend them enough." Based in Liverpool, England 31st August 2026 Al Atchenson Photo of Champagne Charlie Champagne Charlie "I was the photographer at the same wedding as the band and I have to say guys you were unbelievable. Best I have seen a long time. For me it made things a lot easier because all of the staff were having such a good time it made the action pictures amazing. Can’t wait to work with you again" Based in Liverpool, England Dave Meaney - Private Wedding Photo of Party Rockers Party Rockers "Just wanted to let everybody know just how good these guys are. Our wedding was on the 10th June in Shropshire and we couldn't of asked for a better band. Ben and guys were AMAZING and performed with such energy and enthusiasm. From start to finish they were professional and extremely friendly. If u are after a band to get the party started then book these guys. We had different ages and nationalities at our wedding and somehow they managed to get everyone up dancing and created the best wedding party ever. Thank you so much guys and good luck for the future" Based in Liverpool, England The Thiesmeyer Wedding - Wedding June 2019

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for indie bands ranges from £100 to £1,650+, with an average of £600. Rates depend on the number of band members, performance length and the equipment supplied. Indie bands range from stripped-back acoustic outfits to full electric line-ups, so the size and style of the act is the primary factor in cost.

The indie bands for hire perform indie rock, indie pop, alternative and guitar-driven music covering both classic indie anthems and modern indie hits. Many bands have a distinctive sound that brings an authentic live music atmosphere to events.

Hiring indie bands is a popular choice for weddings, birthday parties, bar and pub events, corporate parties and festivals. Indie music appeals to audiences who want something more distinctive than mainstream pop and rock cover bands.

Many indie bands play a mix of well-known indie covers and their own original material. Some bands focus entirely on covers of popular indie songs, while others are original artists who also take cover requests. It is a good idea to check each band's profile for their repertoire.

Wedding bookings are common, and many acts build a set that stays quieter during the meal before moving to a full electric performance later in the evening. Most will learn a first dance song given a few weeks' notice. Couples who want the same sound during the ceremony usually book a stripped-back acoustic line-up of the same act.

Four or five players is the most common shape, usually vocals, guitar, bass and drums, with keys added where the material calls for it. Three-piece acts work well in smaller rooms and cost less to book. Larger line-ups adding brass or extra vocals are available where the stage and the budget allow.

Most are self-contained for pub, bar and small function work, bringing a PA suited to the room and basic stage lighting. Larger venues, festival stages and outdoor bookings usually need production supplied separately. Giving the act the room size and whether a house system is available lets them judge what to bring.

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.
