Reviews of Indie Bands available in Winchester

5/5 from 455 reviews
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 (12 miles from Winchester) Charles Thatcher - Wedding Photo of The DoubleShots The DoubleShots "We booked the DoubleShots for our black tie event and they were brilliant. They have a great mix of songs with fantastic audience interaction as well. We had the best night and by the end we were all singing along at the top of our voices! This is a great band and if you book them, you will not be disappointed!" Based in Reading, England (31 miles from Winchester) Gary S - Black Tie Private Event Photo of Rock The Night Rock The Night "Amazing performers , the videos don't do them any justice. We hired the Dawnbreakers for a joint birthday party and they provided the best entertainment. Everyone raved about the band , would highly recommend!" Based in Bracknell, England (34 miles from Winchester) Mathilde Fletcher - Birthday Photo of Just About Functioning Just About Functioning "Just About Functioning played an acoustic set at one of our popular Surrey Young Professionals events in Guildford and they were the perfect fit for our event. Their choice of songs were fantastic, current and perfect for the style of our events and the band were filled with passion and remained very professional throughout. We would certainly look to book them again for an acoustic set at these events as the attendee's really enjoyed it, and so did the team!" Based in Guildford, England (34 miles from Winchester) Molly - Networking Event for Surrey Chamber of Commerce Photo of The Britpoppers The Britpoppers "The Britpoppers played my husband's 40th birthday. Great night. Great time had by all! Thank you!!" Based in Woking, England (37 miles from Winchester) Nicola N - Birthday Party Photo of The Hound Dogs The Hound Dogs "No words I write can do these guys justice as to just how amazing they are. The Hound dogs played at our wedding and EVERYONE loved them. The band had everyone up dancing and singing along. Nigel was fantastic, it was all very easy booking the band and selecting what songs we liked. We also used them to DJ after the band had finished playing, again, all our favourite songs were played and everyone was up dancing. We had the pleasure of having Nigel play at a 30th a few years ago and having him and the band play at our wedding was just fantastic. They sounded and looked amazing and were lovely to talk to. The band left everyone wanting more and they were only too happy to oblige when everyone chanted for 'one more song'. Thanks again for being part of our day ❤️" Based in Warminster, England (39 miles from Winchester) Katharine Dudley-Dapson - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for indie bands ranges from £110 to £1,700+, with an average of £650. 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.
