Frequently asked questions


Most acoustic bands are self-contained and provide their own equipment which is suitable for typical situations. Even though the act generally plays acoustically, if your event is to be held in a large venue, or you have more than 300 guests, we recommend that additional sound equipment should be used. Always ask your musicians about their sound system requirements.

Each event is different but the typical performance time for acoustic bands is 2 x 45 minutes sets within a 2 hours period. Some acts are happy to play longer sets or additional sets. Often, breaks can be negotiated but you should be aware that the price may increase if the musicians need to be onsite for a longer period of time.

Booking acoustic bands as early as possible increases the chance of securing their availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many acts also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.

You should always check whether or not your act is prepared to play outdoors. Weather conditions such as wind, rain, or extreme temperatures can affect the performance and the instruments. If you are planning an outdoor event you should be prepared to offer a flat surface for performers as well as a cover in case of unexpected rain.

The cost of hiring musicians can vary significantly depending on the type of act. The average price is currently £668. Budget-level acts may be available for as low as £95, while top-tier acts can command prices as high as £5015.

With 568 currently available, the choice on the Last Minute Musicians directory is simply astonishing!

"I just wanted to thank you and Tony so very much for a fantastic evening last Wednesday – I hope that you did not get back home too late! You are both amazing musicians !! so many of our team said what a fabulous way to end such a challenging day with a good old sing song! Once again, thank you for a simply fabulous evening – truly memorable."

Sue's review of Two Man Band

Hire Acoustic Bands

Ideal for:

Acoustic bands can play at different volume levels depending on what is needed and this makes them ideal for all sorts of events. For instance, acoustic cover duos are perfect at wedding dinners and corporate drinks receptions, as they are loud enough to be enjoyed whilst still allowing guests to hold a conversation. They can prove to be a wonderful ice breaker for guests that haven't met before. Acoustic bands can provide an intimate performance to entertain your guests at any time during your event, and are the perfect choice for serenading a bride-to-be down the aisle!

They can also play in a variety of venues and spaces, both outdoor and indoor. Unlike a full band, they will not have as many technical requirements (such as lots of power sources) and are unlikely to affect a venues sound limiter - unlike a full band who may risk cutting the power!

When booking Acoustic Bands:

If you have any special requests (such as a first dance) then it's important to get them across to your band as soon as you can, as it will take time to re-arrange and rehearse the songs. You should also be prepared for any requests to be done in more of an acoustic style, which may be different to the original recording. Some bands will offer to send you across a recording in advance.

Prices for Acoustic Bands:

Acoustic bands will start as a duo, priced at a minimum of £350. Larger acts of 4 members or more will begin at around £700. If you're looking to cut down on travel costs, use the "advanced search" feature to find acoustic bands near you.

About Acoustic Bands repertoire:

Acoustic bands will usually have a big repertoire of popular songs, covering music from the 1960's right up to the modern chart hits of Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift. Some acoustic bands will focus on specific genres, perhaps performing in the folk style of Mumford & Sons or performing traditional irish music.

If you're curious about the type of music your act usually performs, make sure you check out the repertoire section of their Last Minute Musicians directory listing.
