Reviews of Pop Bands available in Gloucestershire

Jet Set Stereo
"Hired these guys for a corporate event and they did a great job. Easy to work with, showed up prepared, and sounded really good. The crowd had a great time. Would definitely hire them again "
22nd January 2026
Justin Myers - Corporate Event
Lucy - Wedding Singer
"Lucy performed everything from our ceremony music to the evening and it was absolutely incredible and loved by all! Any request was never too much to do and her personal music we loved! Everyone at the wedding said we nailed our music choice! If I could do it all again, Lucy and her band would be booked again and again.. "

Adam - Wedding
The Covered
"The Covered were stunning and without a doubt made our charity ball an amazing success! The songs they chose could not have been better and everyone was on the dance floor not wanting it to end! John, Sara and the team were so friendly, and professional throughout and booking through Encore made it so easy. Definitely recommend!!"
30th January 2026
Natalie B
H&D Acoustics
"The music was absolutely spot on, so many bangers and H&R nailed the vibe 🙌🏻 we had an absolute blast on the dance floor and everyone said how brilliant the music was. Huw also DJ'd later in the evening, bringing along a great lighting set and kindly staying later (everyone was loving it and dancing) which we really, really appreciated. We weren't sure about a first dance and Huw read the room so well. Just 10/10 all round!"

Velvet Moon Duo
"Thank you so much you guys were INCREDIBLE, we couldn’t have wished for better!"

The Throwback Showdown - 80s vs 90s
"We booked The Throwback Showdown - 80s vs 90s for our wedding last weekend and they were absolutely fantastic! The dance floor was full, we were absolutely loving the tunes and so many of our guests came up to us to say how much they enjoyed the music. The band did a set of classics and a set of 90s anthems so there was something for everyone, but we booked them for the 90s music in particular and they truly smashed it!!! They were one of the highlights of the day for us. They were also a total pleasure to deal with both prior to and on the day itself - really friendly and accommodating of our various requests. Thank you guys!!"

Frequently asked questions

Each event is different but the typical performance time for pop bands in Gloucestershire is 2 x 45-minute sets within a 2-hour period, with a 30-minute break in between. 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. It's sometimes not possible for acts that use a lot of electronic equipment to perform anywhere where it might rain. If the act is happy to perform outdoors you should plan to have electrical outlets close to the performance area and provide a flat surface as well as a cover in case of rain.
Booking pop bands in Gloucestershire 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.
Most pop bands are self-contained and provide their own sound equipment which is suitable for typical situations. 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 act about their sound system requirements. Some pop bands in Gloucestershire have lighting systems, but most usually will charge extra for this or recommend a third party supplier for you to use.
The cost of hiring musicians in Gloucestershire can vary significantly depending on the type of act. The average price is currently £1325. Budget-level acts may be available for as low as £150, while top-tier acts can command prices as high as £11800.
Sound limiters are now common at many UK wedding venues, particularly those in residential areas or with noise-sensitive neighbours. They work by cutting the power to amplified equipment if the volume exceeds a set threshold. Most professional bands can work within standard limiter settings without any real impact on the performance. If your venue's limiter is set at 95dB or above, the majority of bands will have no difficulty. Below 95dB it is worth flagging to the band in advance, as they may need to adjust their setup - for example, using an electronic drum kit instead of an acoustic one, or opting for a smaller line-up. Ask your venue for the exact decibel level and pass it on when you make your enquiry, so the band can confirm they can accommodate it.
As a general guide, a 3-piece band needs a performance area of roughly 3m x 3m. Add approximately 1m of width for each additional musician. A 5-piece band would therefore need around 3m x 5m as a minimum. Most bands will also need a small amount of additional space at the sides or rear for equipment cases during the performance. A raised stage is not essential but does help the band make a bigger visual impact, particularly in larger rooms. The performance area needs to be flat, dry and close to a power supply. If you are unsure whether your venue can accommodate a particular band, share the dimensions with them when enquiring and they will be able to advise. Venues with unusual layouts or low ceilings are worth flagging too.
Most professional bands provide a playlist through their PA system during intervals, so there is no gap in the music and no awkward silence while they take a break. This is usually included as standard and the band will typically put together a playlist that fits the mood of the evening. Some acts offer an upgraded DJ service where a member of the band or a dedicated DJ manages the music between sets, takes requests and keeps the energy going. This is usually available as a paid add-on. Check the act's profile or ask when enquiring if this is something you would like.
In most cases, no. The majority of professional bands provide music through their PA system during intervals and after their final set, so your guests will have continuous music throughout the evening without needing a separate DJ. This is usually included in the booking. If you want a more interactive DJ experience - someone to take requests, mix tracks and keep the dancefloor going after the band finishes - many bands offer this as an optional upgrade, or you can book a DJ separately. It is worth deciding early how late you want music to continue, as a band's final set will typically finish by midnight or the venue curfew, and a DJ can be a cost-effective way of extending the night.
Professional bands take their commitments seriously and cancellations are rare, but illness, accidents or unforeseen circumstances can occasionally affect a booking. It is worth checking what provisions are in place when you book. Many acts and agencies have contingency arrangements, such as calling on dep musicians or arranging a suitable replacement act at short notice. When booking, make sure you receive a written contract that sets out the cancellation terms clearly - for both sides. If you are booking through an agency, ask specifically what happens in the event the act cannot perform. Keeping communication open with your band in the weeks before the event also helps flag any potential issues early.
Band size affects both the sound and the budget. A 3-piece can fill a dancefloor just as effectively as a larger act and tends to be better suited to smaller venues or those with sound restrictions. A 4 or 5-piece gives a fuller sound and more stage presence, which works well in larger rooms. Bigger show bands with brass sections, multiple vocalists or additional musicians create a more spectacular impact but cost more and need more space. As a rough guide, match the band size to your guest numbers and venue capacity. For events up to around 100 guests, a 3 or 4-piece is usually ideal. For 150 or more, a 4 or 5-piece tends to work better. For very large events over 300 guests you may also need to consider whether the band's own PA system is sufficient, or whether additional sound equipment will be needed.
