Photo of LMK Band LMK Band "We had an amazing experience with this band! They were professional, punctual, and incredibly talented. Their performance created the perfect atmosphere, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how great the music was. They were easy to work with, adapted well to the event, and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for outstanding live entertainment and would gladly hire them again for future events!”" 9th July 2026 Peterson - Private wedding Photo of Krystal Live Band Krystal Live Band "This band is simply fabulous! I organized a party with about 120 people, young and the most "old" and I have never seen such an atmosphere. The next day my guests only talked about that. The musical level is stunning, the set list is great, the sound is exceptional (it plays loud but you never have the impression that it hits your ears. I wonder how they come to this result!) The beautiful light show coordinated with the music. In short, great art. And not to spoil anything they are just adorable." 3rd August 2026 Dominique Photo of Covers acústicos Covers acústicos "A nossa interação com os clientes e o nosso reportório variado ajustado á plateia , colocou os clientes em euforia a dançar e a passar uma excelente noite de diversão" 10th August 2026 Berto, Alameda parque, Taipas - Animação em esplanada Photo of Martin Bevacua - Violinist Martin Bevacua - Violinist "★★★★★ We were so happy to have Martin play at our wedding! From the very beginning, he was professional, friendly, and very easy to communicate with. His violin playing during the ceremony was absolutely beautiful and made the moment even more emotional and special. During the cocktail reception, he created the perfect atmosphere with a great mix of music that our guests really enjoyed. Martin is not only a fantastic musician, but also very professional and kind. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for beautiful live music for their wedding. Thank you, Martin, for being part of such an important day for us!" 1st September 2026 Philip - Private Wedding Photo of Start The Party Start The Party "WHAT A NIGHT! 🎉🎶🍻 A massive thank you to Start The Party for bringing the fun vibes and unreal atmosphere here last night!🎶🪩 You had everyone up, singing along and dancing all night, exactly what a great night out at Freckleton Sports & Social Club is all about!🙌" 14th September 2026 Georgie Taylor - Freckleton Sports and Social Club, Preston Photo of Elegant Piano Elegant Piano "Hi Marcel, thank you again for playing at our wedding.

Frequently asked questions

The average price for pop bands on Gig Heaven is £750, with rates from £150 to £2,600+. Cost varies based on the number of band members, set duration and the production level of the performance. Pop bands range from compact line-ups to larger acts with backing vocalists, and bigger ensembles typically command higher fees.

The pop bands in Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom play popular music spanning several decades of chart hits, from classic pop through to current releases. Many pop bands cover a wide range of artists and styles, creating setlists designed to appeal to the broadest possible audience.

Line-ups commonly run from four to eight players, with the larger ones adding brass, percussion or extra vocals. A smaller act suits a tighter room or a lower budget and still covers the same material. Supplier profiles list the line-up options each act offers.

Hiring pop bands is one of the most versatile entertainment choices for weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, proms, festivals and private celebrations. Pop music is universally recognised and appeals to guests of all ages and musical tastes.

Many pop bands are flexible and can adjust their setlist to include specific songs or focus on particular decades or styles. Some bands also take guest requests during the performance. Gig Heaven recommends discussing your music preferences with the band when making an enquiry.

Most acts will learn a first dance song given a few weeks' notice, and some include one learned request in the fee. Where a track is hard to reproduce live, the band can play the original recording for the dance and take over for the rest of the evening. Sending the song choice early gives them time to rehearse it properly.

Most pop bands are self-contained and bring their own PA system, instruments and basic lighting. For larger venues or outdoor stages, additional sound and staging may be required. It is advisable to confirm all technical details before booking.

Sound limiters are common in hotels and smaller function rooms, and experienced acts adjust stage volume and drum setup to work within them. Telling the band the limiter level at the booking stage matters more than the size of the room. Some venues also set a curfew, which affects how the sets are arranged.

Most pop bands perform for two to three hours, divided into sets with short breaks. Pop music sets tend to feature well-known singalong material that keeps the audience engaged throughout the evening. It is worth discussing the event schedule with the band to plan the best set structure.
