"Thank you so much for playing at our wedding this Saturday. We had so many compliments about how good you guys were, it was perfect!! The whole process was super smooth with Rhona being so communicative leading up to it, the Sax at cocktail hour and for our first dance, and the setlist for the party was great. Would definitely recommend! x"

"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"

FAQs about hiring Rock bands in Northampton
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.
