"Very professional, really responsive to messages. Thoroughly enjoyed by everyone "
Gaynor hired The Department for a Private event (available in Doncaster)
"The Department were absolutely brilliant, we can't recommend them enough! The vibe was perfect, they had people up dancing all night, we got so many compliments on the band from our guests. The music was great, all songs that people knew and loved, with a nice rock tone to it. They learned 2 songs specifically for our party and it really made our night! If you are considering a band, get these guys!!!"
Kate hired The Department for a Private event (available in Doncaster)
"We had The Department for our wedding reception, and we cannot praise them enough. They were the most efficient out of all the suppliers we had, communication was amazing and they really helped us when things got a little tricky with venue restrictions (which they managed to help with significantly!). As big music fans, the band was important for us to get right, and they did not disappoint whatsoever. They are all extremely talented and not your average wedding band, they’re better! Thank you again for making our evening so great! "

FAQs about hiring Rock bands in Doncaster
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.
