Frequently asked questions


Most guitarists (pop/rock) 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 guitarists (pop/rock) 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.

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.

Booking guitarists (pop/rock) 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.

About these Guitarists (Pop/Rock)

If you're planning an event, you could well be looking for local Guitarists (Pop/Rock). Hiring a pop/rock guitarist near you offers a flexible solution to live music at your wedding, birthday party or corporate event. With a relatively small set up and varied repertoire, pop and rock guitar players are an excellent choice for anyone who doesn't have the space or budget to accommodate a full live band, but would still love the amazing atmosphere that live music brings.

If your venue has any sound restrictions, then acoustic guitarists are often perfect, as they will be able to manage their volume levels much more effectively than a live band, while still providing a fantastic show!

"River was brilliant and a total surprise! My auntie had booked River to arrive at the hotel that we were staying at in Birmingham and he did so right on time. As I arrived in the lobby ready for my birthday meal, River started playing Adam and the Ant's on his guitar - my favourite song when I was about 5! He has a great singing voice and engaging personality to match. We're glad we recorded it and have had so much fun reminiscing. Would highly recommend and he certainly made my 40th birthday one to remember!! Thank you River!"

Hire
Guitarists (Pop/Rock)

Ideal for:

Guitarists (Pop/Rock) are perfect for virtually any kind of function. Their flexibility is a real asset to any one thinking of hiring them! Most pop/rock guitarists are able to offer two types of show (or a combination of them!) - If your event is relaxed and informal, most acoustic pop/rock guitarists will be able to blend seamlessly into the background, providing a chilled-out set that's perfect for adding to the sense of occasion, while still allowing guests to chat and get to know each other. This is perfect for drinks receptions, product launches and formal dinners. On the flip side of this, as natural showmen/women, they are able to step up and become the centre of attention, performing a much more up-beat set that's great for drinking, dancing and achieving a party atmosphere!

When booking a guitarist:

Once you've decided on an act that's perfect for your event, it's important to give them as much information as possible about plans for the day. What time you would like them to arrive (keeping in mind that they will require time to set up their equipment), potential performance times and any information on the type of atmosphere you're looking to create are essential. Make sure that you are aware of the terms of payment your musician has - most will require a deposit in advance to secure the date, and then full payment before or on the day of the performance.

It's also important to check with your venue about their provision for live music in advance, and make sure everyone has the relevant contact details for the big day as they may require your act to send across insurance details beforehand.

Prices for Guitarists (Pop/Rock):

One big advantage to hiring solo musicians is that they tend to be more affordable than other, larger acts. A typical pop/rock guitarist will usually charge a minimum of £150 for your event. If you're looking to minimise travel cost, then use the 'advanced search' function to find guitarists local to you.

About Guitarists (Pop/Rock) repertoire:

One thing to keep in mind when booking an acoustic guitarist is that they will not suit every event theme. For example, if your function is going to be a "saturday night fever" style-boogie, then trying to get the sound of every Bee Gee member out of one musician might be a tall order! However, that doesn't mean that they aren't versatile! If you're happy to have your music covered in a live-lounge way, then most acoustic guitarists can reproduce versions of just about everything!

Expect to hear everything from 60's singalong numbers by the likes of The Beatles and The Monkeys, right up to modern chart hits by the likes of Ed Sheeran, Mumford & Sons and Taylor Swift.
