Covers Band Hire – The Complete Guide

For any event, music is the heart and soul of the party. Whether you need a string quartet for a wedding or a pop band for an 18th birthday party; your band can make or break the celebration. We can surely all remember that one party where the band was so awful, that you can’t remember anything else about the night? Don’t make the same mistake as them! In order to get the best covers, band hire is the way to go. Here’s a guide to making sure you book the right cover band for you:

Covers band hire – An Articulate Music Guide

Find a trusted band or advertiser 

We can attest to the fact that there are hundreds of bands in the country looking to line up their next job. But picking the cheapest option may not always be the best option as it could mean the talent is limited. Try to go through a band that has been recommended by a friend or through a larger company that deals with professional musicians. This will guarantee you get a band that you can be proud of at your event.   

The song list 

Every band will have a list of their own songs and other covers that they already know and can play well. Make sure to review this when making your selections. Talk directly to the band if you have any other requests to make sure they can deliver on your favourite songs, rather than facing disappointment on the night when they are unprepared.   

The right genre 

With music, there is a wide range of different genres and styles to choose from. Generally at a party you can’t please everyone all of the time. With covers, band hire is the best way to give a bit of everything, especially if you are appealing to a wide range of people with different tastes.  

References and reviews 

You may be looking for a band in particular but have no idea of their quality. Take a look at their reviews and references from past employers. This will give you an insight as to how they performed and if they were any trouble or hassle to the clients. If the reviews aren’t quite what you were looking for, then you can rule out that candidate.
