Janie hired Jo-Anne Lifford Band for a Bar / Club / Venue event (available in Portsmouth)
"The Jo-Anne Lifford Band played at our wedding a few weeks ago and oh my god they were AMAZING! They played from 4 - 6 on the patio, the sun was shining and everyone danced all afternoon. The musicians and singers are so talented, the track list was perfect including all the popular songs you know even if youre not a die hard country fan like we are. Jo-Anne was dancing with everyone, moving around and even jokingly encouraging one of our friends to get down on one knee to his GF. Every single guest said how amazing they were, we absolutely loved it and cannot thank you enough for creating such a fun afternoon of entertainment, we will 100% be booking again the next time we have a party. Thank you to the whole band... phenomenal!"
Chris hired Jo-Anne Lifford Band for a Wedding (available in Portsmouth)
"There are not enough 🌟 available to say how amazing Jo and her band are. We hired them for our 30th wedding anniversary in the garden and they were electric. They knew exactly what was going to happen, a few would dance and they would crank it up a bit and then more became foot loose and up it went again until everyone was living in the moment. I got lucky finding the band but take my word you need not worry as you are in the safest hands if you want guitars, fiddles, banjos and great voices to sing and dance to. Jo-Anne Lifford you were off the scale and we will always be great full for the memories you have given us. Go see them and book them. Can’t add pictures sadly but there are loads to back up my review."

FAQs about hiring Country bands in Portsmouth
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
Can any country band play my favourite song?
Professional country bands will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice. Please also keep in mind that country bands may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the country band's song list on their Encore profile.
How much time do country bands take to set up?
Your country band will usually arrive about an hour or so before their performance begins to set up and get settled before they start playing. To avoid any delays, make sure the performance space is ready for the country band prior to their arrival.
My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?
PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our country bands are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our country bands will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
