"Super pleased we booked 19Eighties. Communication was great from the off, they demonstrated that they were professional and listened to our needs. I'd 100% recommend this group – really accommodating too. They even came to the rescue when the venue's PA system failed. I'd wholeheartedly recommend - well done guys! 👏👏👏"

"Had this band for my 60th birthday on Saturday 12th Oct & I could not fault them, they were professional through the whole process of booking them many weeks ago. Their music was absolutely brilliant & I knew every track & danced with my guests to many. I was asked several times where I got the band from as everyone thought they were amazing, I cannot recommend 19Eighties enough, they were second to none & I want to thank them for such a brilliant night had by all Deb Clark "

"19Eighties were great. Marcos was communicative before the gig, the band arrived promptly and their attention to detail for sound quality and song replication was impeccable. Joey is a star on the keytar, and Marcos and Lenin super tight too. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for an 80's party band. Thanks!"

FAQs about hiring Entertainers in Southampton

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore

How to entertain adults at a party?

Live music is the best choice for party entertainment as it’s vibrant and versatile. You can hire musicians to provide ambient background music which still allows your guests to mingle and then ramp up into a more engaging performance when you want your guests to let loose and dance. Live performances in general engage audiences in a way that recorded or pre-scripted entertainment cannot. The interaction between performers and the audience adds a dynamic and personal element to the event. Similarly, the excitement and energy generated by live musicians is unmatched by other entertainers.

How to book entertainment for an event?

Booking live entertainers has never been easier with Encore. Our website allows you to browse through thousands of musician profiles, watch videos of their performances, and read customer reviews to get a better sense of their stage presence and audience interaction. After narrowing down your options, simply submit an enquiry through our website and receive quotes in a matter of hours. If you prefer a more personalised approach, you can also contact one of our experts directly. Simply answer a few questions about your event and preferences, and our team will provide you with tailored recommendations to suit your needs and tastes. This way, you can be sure to find the perfect live entertainment for your event.

You are not expected to tip a birthday entertainer, but it is considered a nice gesture.

It's just the gesture that counts, and it's not required.
