Finding Tribute Bands For Hire

By Ericka Marsh


When hiring a live band, there are many considerations such as venue and type of occasion to take into account. With so many tribute bands for hire, making the right choice is important to avoid disappointment. Some of the factors that need to be considered in making this decision are budget, venue and experience of the band.

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.

Looking online enables one to listen to demo tracks that are recorded in a studio. From these, a good impression of the skill level of performers can be obtained, although they will not sound quite the same when playing live. Photographs of the band are also available as well as video recordings of live performances which offer a better idea of how they sound and move on stage.

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.

There are no standard prices as they are influenced by the size of the band, their experience, length of performance and many other factors. The more experienced bands are able to charge much more than those who are still building their reputations. A band may be able to adjust what is offered to suit a specific budget.

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.

A band requires some time to set up and do sound checks in the venue and this must be taken into account when making a booking. They will usually also require a room with privacy and security where they can change and prepare for the performance. The length of performances is different from band to band. Sometimes they will do two sets of 30 minutes, taking a break in the middle or they will play solidly for a full hour.

Once a band has been selected, a check can be made to find out whether it is available on the date. A quote will include all the costs such as transport and any extras. Once a booking has been made, a contract is signed by the band and the client. A deposit is usually required upfront to secure the booking.
