507 original artists are available to book in the United Kingdom, with 678 reviews from real clients rating performances 5 out of 5. These are acts that perform their own material: singer-songwriters and singing guitarists at one end, original bands, rappers and DJ-producers at the other, and most of them mix their own songs with covers so a set works for a crowd that has never heard them.
Booking fees start from £70 for a solo acoustic set and most bookings sit around £260, with the size of the act and the length of the set deciding the rest. Sort the results below by price to compare fees before you enquire.

Wedding Bands in United KingdomOriginal artists in the United Kingdom range from a solo singer-songwriter with an acoustic guitar to a full band or a rapper with a DJ, and the common thread is a repertoire they wrote themselves. Some have released records and play festivals; others are working musicians who fold three or four of their own songs into a covers set. The profile tells you which, and the audio and video on it are the quickest way to judge whether the sound fits the event.
Original acts suit the parts of an event where people listen rather than dance: a drinks reception, a dinner, a festival slot or a launch where the music is meant to be noticed. For a wedding party or a dancefloor, ask how much of the set is covers, because a room full of guests who do not know the songs is the one thing an originals act cannot fix. Many will learn a first-dance song or a request if asked in advance.
Fees for original artists in the United Kingdom run from £70 to £1,300+, with most bookings around £260. A solo acoustic set sits at the bottom of the range and a band with its own sound engineer at the top; an act with a following charges for the name as well as the set. Travel and a PA, where the venue has none, are the usual extras.
The average price is £260 (GBP), with most priced from £70 to £1,300+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

LL Sings
"She was INCREDIBLE! It was the exact vibe that I was looking for and LL Sings nailed it. I wanted a soul singer that can bring the energy and tunes, she did exactly that. She brought the room to life and really made the event shine."
Michael Green
"Michael was excellent and provided the perfect entertainment for a gathering of family and friends. The music was superb and Michael was engaging and charming. I would not hesitate to recommend him."

Eugene Moore
"Brilliant music for our 50th celebration, responsive on messages, prompt and flexible with our requirements- thank you!"
Claire Holdich
"On two occasions I have had the pleasure of hearing Claire perform. A glorious occasion was my marriage to Angela in the church, made even more memorable by Claire’s sensitive, beautiful and faultless playing of the flute at most significant parts of our service. At our small reception she also provided very appropriate ambient music for flute which was very much appreciated by all who were there."
Dave Colebourn Saxes
"We’re so glad we chose Dave as our saxophonist, he was incredible from start to finish. From the very beginning, he was so communicative, explained everything clearly, and made the whole (already super simple) process on Encore really easy and stress-free.
He got us genuinely excited, and you can tell he absolutely loves what he does. During the ceremony drinks, he played all our favourite songs beautifully, which created such a special atmosphere for the family. Then when he teamed up with the DJ, the energy was buzzing - everyone was up dancing and having the best time!
Thank you, Dave, you truly made our day! I hope you see you at another celebration!"
