The Rock 'n' Soulers
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"We booked the Rock 'n' Soulers for our wedding day in Sept 2024 and it was - not exaggerating - the best indie/rock performance at a wedding we or anyone in our entire wedding party have ever experienced. Adam and the band were friendly, professional, efficient to deal with before and during, and supremely talented. They even kindly prepared an off setlist song by the Foo Fighters for our first dance, with a slowed down and then up tempo arrangement. The equipment and lighting looked very cool and was set up in no time at all. We had so many compliments from guests who partied until the wee hours to everything from the Arctic Monkeys to Foals to the Kooks and to Erasure. A total dream from the first dance until the final note - it was like going to our favourite music festival and bringing all of our family and friends along. Thank you Rock 'n' Soulers for being key members of our wedding dream team and the soundtrack to our big day. We would 100% book again and highly recommend to others."

FAQs about hiring Indie Bands in Greater Manchester

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore

Can any indie band play my favourite song?

Professional indie bands will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice. Please also keep in mind that indie bands may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the indie band's song list on their Encore profile.

How much time do indie bands take to set up?

Your indie 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 indie 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 indie bands are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to ÂŁ10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our indie 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.
