Latest reviews of our Original Artists in Bradford

Analog Functions
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"I could not speak highly enough of Analog Functions/Society. Each individual musician is very talented and as a band they sound superb. The lead (female) vocalist and other main singer (who also plays the drums at the same time!) both have incredible, pitch perfect voices and the whole band, from the horn section to the keys, lead guitar, bass and drums are incredibly tight. They played at my wedding and immediately had everyone there up and dancing all night, age 3 to 93! The trumpet, sax and trombone occasionally came out and played among in amongst the crowd on the dance floor which was great fun, and they even learned a surprise song (after the best man secretly liaised with them) for us that the whole wedding party sang along to; they generally had great chemistry with the crowd. Their cover version of ‘At Last’ which they played for our first dance was also so good, and the couple of their famous mash ups that they played went down very well with the crowd. The communication with Xoel from the band was excellent and they set everything up seamlessly and efficiently on the day. Overall they are the dream band for a wedding, I could not recommend them more, and wish them all the best for the future (I have a feeling they might be going places). "

Marco & The Band

"We hired Marco and Fred for an outdoor, afternoon party. They were very good in choosing the right combination of music for everyone. Their musicality is excellent and it was a real treat to hear such good musicians live. Guests found them fun and very approachable. I would book them again without hesitation"

The Pashy Pops
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"I I hoped for a memorable 80th birthday party and I got one. The girls entertained us all with 50/60s music we could singalong and dance to. I wanted to end with Queen' s we are the champions, but there was a hicup so we all sang it acapella. It was a special moment. The girl's lively banter and exceptional singing was truly just what I and all my friends wanted."

FAQs about hiring Original artists in Bradford

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore

Can any original artist play my favourite song?

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

How much time do original artists take to set up?

Your original artist 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 original artist 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 original artists 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 original artists will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
