Latest reviews of our Rock Bands in Birmingham
"What. A. Band. I genuinely can’t fault any aspect of our experience with Stone Meadow. Their reviews speak for themselves. They were such a highlight of our festival wedding and brought the exact vibe we wanted. The requests made were done incredibly well, set up was bang on and some last minute delays throughout the day were smoothed over seamlessly. Joe was fantastic with communication and the crowd work by Jake was awesome. We had so many comments that a Rock inspired band was a game changer. We can’t thank you guys enough! Sam & Chloe"

"Stone Meadow were the perfect fit for our wedding day! Joe's communication was excellent from booking right up until the party and they accommodated all our requests for the live sets and DJ sets. Their choice of music for the live sets was spot on, they catered for all ages including classic singalongs as well as some of our favourite pop punk tracks! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a band that can play a wide range of genres and keep the party going from start to finish! Cheers again guys! Sam & Liv"

"Where do we even start? These guys delivered everything we hoped for and more. They set the perfect tone for the day and tailored the music brilliantly to the crowd. Joe’s communication from booking right through to the big day was spot‑on, and on the day they just arrived, plugged in, and absolutely smashed the playlist. The energy was exactly what we wanted, the dance floor didn’t stop bouncing. Thanks again! 🤘"

FAQs about hiring Rock bands in Birmingham
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
Can any rock band play my favourite song?
Professional rock bands will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice. Please also keep in mind that rock bands may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the rock band's song list on their Encore profile.
How much time do rock bands take to set up?
Your rock 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 rock 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 rock 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 rock 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.
