Booked for Private party

Stephanee was amazing, very professional, great voice. Played some great music, we discussed some songs and the tone of the event before and planned accordingly. She was very accommodating, understanding and took her time to meet our needs. The crowd loved her and we look forward to working her and the team again.

James and the band were fantastic. Really friendly and nice but also professional. Priced well and really Played their heart out. Quality musicians and give a fun and varied set. Our venue was tricky acoustics wise but they didn’t complain just got on with it and it all came together well. Would recommend these guys for sure!

Booked for Private party

Below The Border are a fabulously talented band who played at our wedding anniversary party. Our guests were not exactly spring chickens but absolutely everyone was dancing to their favourite songs from the 70s until midnight. Friends kept asking us, “Who are they and where did you find them?” Some of the lads had record contracts back in the day and that was apparent as soon as they struck up. Brilliant guitarists and singers. Lovely harmony vocals from Gail. Everything sounded exactly like the original records. And they were such nice polite people. They arrived bang on time, set up their equipment unobtrusively and played two sets of wonderful music. No fuss. Not a single ego in sight. Real Pro’s. Highly recommended! Thanks so much boys. You made our party such a fantastic success and we’ve had so many messages from our friends telling us how much they enjoyed the music and how good you were. “Gobsmacked by your band” was one and loads saying “Fab band!” Photos to follow

Me and my daughter and all of my 110 guests had a fantastic evening with a great band and genuine, calm, approachable and respectful group. The music is perfect as expected for the nature of my occasion. Highly recommended to the Lakes District for Kendal Music Festival, Kendal Calling Festival and in the lakeside. Over all it was a great success of my 60th birthday. Villamie

Frequently asked questions

How much is a rock band for hire in the UK?

You should budget between £250 and £1250 to hire a rock band in the UK. There is no set fee, but by clicking on a rock band's services on Poptop, you may learn how much they charge. The cost varies according to the type of band, travel costs, and other extra services.

When will a rock band start its set?

Rock bands vary in how long their sets go, but most only begin playing when the crowd is in the right frame of mind to dance, which is typically around the cocktail hour or right before dinner.

Our suppliers provide flexible scheduling, so you may talk to them about the ideal time you want the performance to begin. The rock band will also extend the time if required.

Will a rock band play covers or its own songs?

Songs from different musical genres can be found in a rock band's repertoire. A band may perform a cover song during a set. They do seek to ensure that all of the attendees enjoy their playlist, which includes both classic and contemporary rock songs. In any case, the majority of bands like to perform a selection of varied tunes in their own special way to entertain the crowd. If you have any questions or requests, don't hesitate to get in touch with your preferred supplier on Poptop.
