5/5 from 138 reviews
Photo of Relative Cool Relative Cool "We thought Relative Cool were absolutely brilliant when they played at our wedding. The vocalist was fabulous! The 3 sets filled the whole evening and definitely had everyone up dancing. I also really appreciated little things like the singer chatting with one of the kids while they had a break between sets. They were thoroughly professional throughout. We spoke to Tom before the evening and he was always really responsive with messages. We would definitely recommend them and thank you very much for making it a great evening!" Based in Preston, England Jane - Wedding Photo of The Funtime Frankies The Funtime Frankies "Amazing from start to finish - talented, fun, energetic, feel good - you just want to dance! Have played at a few functions for us and would definitely want them to entertain us again in the future! 9 Piece - Awesome!!!" Based in Leyland, England (5 miles from Preston) John - Corporate Event Photo of Andy Brown Andy Brown "Andy played for my 30th Birthday celebration with 90 guests.

Based in Wigan, England (15 miles from Preston) Mark Watson - Birthday Party Photo of Mustard Mustard "Absolutely incredible band! We booked for our wedding with request for our first dance and they smashed it completely! They gave our day the best possible vibe and got every single person up on their feet! Cannot recommend more, they were just brilliant!" Based in Bolton, England (17 miles from Preston) Luke P - Wedding Photo of Electric Moonlight Electric Moonlight "I booked Total Affect for a festival-themed garden party - Wendfest ! If classic rock is what you are after then these are the guys to book. They were playing outside in the garden under two gazebos. Highly recommended!" Based in Burnley, England (19 miles from Preston) Wendy - Festival-themed garden party Photo of The Upbeats Duo The Upbeats Duo "We found ‘The Upbeats musical duo’ online and contacted them. They were quick to get back to us and communicating with them via email was easy throughout the preparations for our wedding reception. Peter and Rachel recommended the music for us, which was perfect, but were more than happy for us to give them a list of other music, if we had so wanted. From the moment they began singing, everyone was up dancing. We did ask for a particular song for our first dance and Peter and Rachel were only too happy to accommodate. We had the most amazing night, as did our guests. We highly recommend Peter and Rachel and will definitely be calling upon them for future parties." Based in St Helens, England (22 miles from Preston) Debbie & Martin - Private Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average price for pop bands on Gig Heaven is £750, with rates from £150 to £2,550+. 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

The pop bands in Preston, England, 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.

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.
