Lauren hired The Rock 'n' Soulers for a Wedding (available in Preston)

“From start to finish the Rock ‘n’ Soulers have been absolutely fantastic. They reached out with a more than reasonable quote for a full day at our wedding, starting with an acoustic set and finishing off with live sets. The acoustic set was more than we could have imagined. They played music that was to ours and the guests tastes and set the mood for the rest of the day. We expected one person playing a guitar but were greeted with a 3 piece band which was amazing. Moving on to the night - all I can say is wow. Our dance floor was full all night as they played an amazing set list that was tailored to our taste. They asked us which songs to include and which ones to leave off. Everyone we spoke to after the wedding could not stop talking about the band. The music really made our wedding the best it could be and would couldn’t thank the Rock ‘n’ Soulers enough. Highly recommend! ”

FAQs about hiring Indie Bands in Preston

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.
