"Absolutely incredible from start to finish. Had everyone dancing at our corporate Christmas party from the very first song. We'd not had a band before so wasn't sure what to expect, but booking these guys far exceeded my expectations. Already looking forward to booking them again for next year - thank you so much guys, you were an absolute pleasure and everyone loved you!"

Maria hired The Hound Dogs for a Wedding (available in Portsmouth)
"The Instigators were absolutely phenomenal at our wedding, they tailored their playlist to our preferences, coordinated with the venue to get set up unobstrusively, and their performance made our evening. They smashed all the covers, did amazing crowd work and got us involved at key bits. We were blown away and so many of our guest said it was the best wedding band they'd ever seen. Thank you so much Instigators for making our big day unforgettable. Love Amber and Chris"

FAQs about hiring Indie bands in Portsmouth
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.
