Latest reviews of our Tribute Bands in Guildford
"Paul was absolutely fantastic! He was communicative and helpful and arrived right on time. He went with the flow as my original agenda slightly varied due to late food deliveries. He played an excellent array of tunes that were absolutely spot on for the occasion. The music was exceptional and exactly the right vibe for the garden lunch we were hosting. 100% would recommend and will certainly book again in the future! Thank you, Paul!"

"Amazing! Honestly we are SUPER impressed with The Super Swedes! We’ve seen loads of Abba tribute bands over the years and they are miles ahead, in performance, sound, appearance, professionalism and hugely entertaining!!! They were also very funny at times and really brought the different generations of our event together - with Thank You for the Music being the ultimate performance!!! We all LOVED them and have had so many messages saying similar to the above from our guests - thank you so much 🤗"

"Many thanks to ABBA Beats for making our event an unforgettable night. They arrived on time and were easy to communicate with. The audience were enthralled by their performance and, during the 'DJ' session at the end of the night they took requests for songs to play. Thanks again Chess & Gem, your are professionals and great singers !"

FAQs about hiring Tribute bands in Guildford
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events, where guests can enjoy a live performance reminiscent of their favourite artists, even if the original band is no longer active or available for shows.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.
