Electric Idols' Song list
Our repertoire is made up of rock, indie, pop and lots of other stuff thrown in for good measure! We play a wide selection of songs so that we can get folks of all ages up dancing. We of course like to include a few hits by local Yorkshire bands like Arctic Monkeys and Kaiser Chiefs, but we cover stuff by The Killers, Kings of Leon and a few chart hits too. Not to mention a few quirky R&B tracks that always get people up!
You’ll be able to choose your favourite songs from our set list before your event – or just leave it to us and we’ll choose the songs that we think will work the best for you and your guests in particular. It just depends on how much input you want really!
We put our own little twist on the songs we play. If it was just the same old stuff, you might as well hire a DJ, right?!

Customer questions
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
Swinton Park, Hazlewood Castle, Oulton Hall, Rudding Park Hotel, Wood Hall Hotel and Spa, Bolton Abbey, Sandburn Hall, Goldsborough Hall, The Mansion, Rise Hall, and many more!
Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?
We strive to make sure the line-up you see is what you get on the night. We do have pre-auditioned 'dep' musicians available in case a band member falls ill or is unavailable. As a professional band, our reputation means everything so you can be confident that all of our players are of a very high level.
Do you have different line-up options?
Our line-up is as follows: Vocals, Guitar, Bass, and Keyboard. Electric Idols also perform an acoustic duo that is a great addition if you’d like some more chilled entertainment a little earlier in the day.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
We generally aim to arrive to evening events at 6pm. We’re happy to arrive as early as 5pm if it helps with the flow of your venue’s setup, but if you require us before 5pm we would be required to charge an early arrival fee at £40 per hour.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Absolutely. This is a really popular request and we actually offer this service for free. If you'd like a DJ service via our PA after the final set, we can provide this as an add-on. Please get in touch for more info!
How much time do you need to set up?
It takes us around an hour to fully set up and sound check our equipment. It then takes us around 20 minutes to get changed and warm up our voices, and just generally prepare so that nothing goes awry!
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
This is totally up to you. We write a personalised set list for all our events, usually including the songs we know go down the best everywhere we go, but you’re free to have as much input on this as you want!
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?
All bookings come with a full PA and Lighting rig, suitable for 300 guests. We usually say we need 4.5m (width) x 3.5m (depth) to setup, but we can often fit into smaller spaces than this. If you think the space at your venue is smaller than our recommendation, get in touch and we’ll let you know if we can squeeze in.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
We’re more than happy to learn and perform your first dance free of charge if it's your wedding you are booking for - if not we're happy to take a 'special song request' for any random track you can think of, as we can usually arrange almost anything to suit the bands' instruments and playing style.
