"Wow what can I say. Nothing will be enough to how amazing Angel Eyez was. Angel Eyez was a surprise to our wedding quest. They started the party off. Every was dancing and those that could not dance was singing along. They made my son and son-in-law wedding day a day to remember. They were so kind and friendly and spent time afterwards having photos and chatting. I can not recommend Angel Eyez enough. Just amazing. "

"From the first communication we had to the end of their set on our wedding day, that 80s thing absolutely smashed it for us! A top bunch of blokes who kept the dance floor full and the atmosphere alive into the night. Ian was fab at keeping in touch and they were such professionals the night went smooth as butter! We honestly can’t recommend them enough, all of my guests commented about how good they were and finishing with the 500 miles love conga was ace! There’s not enough stars on this app for me to award! These guys are not just another wedding band, they really elevated our day so if you’re looking for a proper class act for your wedding/event/or whatever, book these guys! Thanks That 80s thing, you were fantastic👍💖 Carla & Luke"

FAQs about hiring Tribute Bands in Aberdeen
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
What is a tribute band?
A tribute band is a musical group that exclusively performs the songs of a specific well-known artist or band, imitating their style, appearance, and often, their stage presence. These bands are dedicated to recreating the music and sometimes even the costumes and mannerisms of the original artists, offering audiences a nostalgic or celebratory experience. Tribute acts can play anywhere from weddings to private events to corporate events, where guests can enjoy a live performance reminiscent of their favourite artists, even if the original band is no longer active or available for shows.
What is the difference between a cover band and a tribute band?
A cover band performs a wide range of songs from different artists and genres, while a tribute band is dedicated to emulating the music, style, and often the appearance of a specific artist or band.
How long should a tribute band play?
Tribute bands normally perform two 1-hour sets or three 40-minute sets, with a 15- to 30-minute break in between. Your band's setup and soundcheck will take about an hour and a half.
What makes a good tribute band?
A standout tribute band meticulously replicates the original artist's music, stage presence, and mannerisms. Attention to detail in everything from sound to appearance, is paramount. Professionalism in punctuality and performance is crucial. Hire a tribute act that balances popular hits and fan favourites to keep the audience engaged. A great band strikes the perfect balance between authenticity and adaptability, creating an unforgettable homage to the original artist. Explore Encore's collection of some of the best best tribute bands in the UK.
Do tribute bands pay royalties?
Tribute bands in the UK typically do not pay royalties for performing live cover versions of songs. However, the venues where these bands perform might have licenses with performance rights organisations (PROs) like PRS for Music, which allows them to host live music events. These licenses often cover the performance of copyrighted songs, ensuring that songwriters and original artists receive royalties for their work. Tribute artists benefit from these venue licenses, allowing them to perform without individual royalty obligations. It's important for venues to have the appropriate licenses to ensure compliance with copyright laws and fair compensation for songwriters.
