Finding 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.

They all have their own way of recreating the experience of listening to the original band. Some of them go to great lengths to wear the same clothes, hairstyles and lead singers even copy mannerisms and tonal nuances. Others focus more on the music itself, using the same types of instruments and amplifiers to recreate it as closely as possible. However, some groups have been going for so many years that they have developed their own ways of interpreting the music, still capturing its essence.

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.

One of the most important considerations is the venue. A number of groups are able to adapt to the size of a venue. They have a smaller number of members who perform in an intimate venue and are able to scale up with more members, instruments and lighting for bigger venues. A larger band needs a stage and a fairly large space to sound its best.

Budget is always an important consideration and here again, a band may be able to adapt what is provided to suit a particular budget. Some of the more well known groups obviously charge more as they have the experience of having played for years for many different types of clients. The size of the band and the length of time they play also affects the price.

Some of the groups use professionally recorded backing tracks. This helps them to create a full sound and still be affordable. It also means they are more adaptable to smaller venues.

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.
