What our expert says...If you want real impact, few things compare to the energy of a live rock band. It’s loud, raw, and full of character - perfect for couples or clients who want their event to feel less polished and more electric.

Latest reviews of our Rock Bands in Hereford
"Stone Meadow did an absolutely fantastic job for our wedding. Joe's communication was brilliant beforehand and they let us pick an extra couple of songs which was greatly appreciated. Even if our guests weren't the type to get up and dance they defiently enjoyed the performance and commented how good you were. Even our photographer who has been doing weddings 15 years said you were the best live band they have ever seen! Don't hesitate to book these guys!"

"We couldn’t have asked for a better band for our wedding! From the very beginning, Uprising were incredibly responsive and happy to tailor everything to our requests. They made the setup completely fuss-free and adapted their set list perfectly to the vibe of the evening. They were great fun, and every single one of our guests had a fantastic time. They really helped make the evening so memorable. Overall, Uprising were outstanding and we would thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking for a brilliant wedding band!"

"I hired the band for a Harley Davidson rally. They were excellent. The Harley crowd is a hard crowd to please as there is a a huge mix of music taste. The Cassette King's managed this fantastically. My only instruction was to keep the dance floor full. They managed this so well, swapping the set when something did not work. I got a lot of positive feedback from our guests. Can highly recommend them."

FAQs about hiring Rock bands in Hereford
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.
