Indie Bands for hire in Oxfordshire
Latest reviews of our Indie Bands in Oxfordshire
"These guys were great. It was a small garden party but they did everything they could to make the night fantastic, including moving to avoid the rain. Highly recommend. In fact, I believe two wedding parties are going to request pricing for their wedding."
Natalie hired The DCTs for a Private event (available in Oxfordshire)
"Amped up were absolutely brilliant. They had our guests on the dance floor from the moment they started, everyone has been asking for the bands details since our wedding. Leading up to the wedding we dealt with Ollie who confirmed timings alongside our DJ, and agreed to share PA system with the DJ to save room at the event and alongside each other they worked perfectly. Our night wouldn’t have been as memorable without them. Thank you so much!!!"

FAQs about hiring Indie bands in Oxfordshire
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 £10 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.
