Looking For Tribute Bands For Hire

By Ericka Marsh


When looking for a live band for an event, there are numerous factors to consider such as budget, type of event and the venue. Tribute bands for hire offer a way of providing a specific type of music to suit an event like hiring a Beatles group for a 60th birthday party. These groups exist to honor the music of original artists like the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Alice Cooper and Neil Diamond. Some of them have performed for many years and their acts are of such a high standard that they even have their own fans.

Some of these groups have been together for many years and have become quite famous in their own right. Neil Diamond, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Alice Cooper and others have inspired many groups to try and recreate their sounds. Costumes, hairstyles and even gestures and mannerisms are studied closely. For others, it is all about capturing the distinctive sounds of the original band. They use authentic instruments and amplifiers.

When looking online for such a band, it is possible to listen to demo tracks. One can soon tell if they capture the essence of sound and feel of the original group. One must bear in mind that these demos are recorded in studio and the live sound may be a little different. It is also possible to see images and even view videos of live performances, showing exactly what they look like and how they move.

The venue in which an event is to be held affects the choice of band. A large live band with a full orchestra is perfect for a big arena. Any big band is better suited to a large space with a stage. A band can often adapt to suit a particular venue, cutting down to basics for a smaller, more intimate venue and adding more members and instruments when the venue is big enough.

Prices vary considerably depending upon the experience of the band, the number of members and amount of equipment used. Some of these groups have been together for years and have played for a wide variety of corporate and private clients. There are those that have many members and they use elaborate costumes, stage sets and lighting.

A number of groups like this use backing tracks. These are professionally recorded and help them to create a full sound without having many members and instruments. This means they are more adaptable to performing in smaller venues and are more affordable than a full, live orchestra.

Once you have found the band you want, you need to check whether it is available. A quote will be sent to you including all costs such as travel and extras. If it suits your budget, all you need to do is sign a contract and pay a deposit.

Once an ideal band has been found, check for availability on the date and whether they are within budget. A quote is easily obtained which includes travel costs and any other extras. If this is suitable, a simple click is all that is needed to book the band. A proper, legally binding contract should be signed by both parties. Once a deposit has been paid, the booking is secure.
