Tribute Bands for hire in South Yorkshire
Latest reviews of our Tribute Bands in South Yorkshire
"What a brilliant evening! A huge thank you to ABBA ATTACK for bringing such an awesome evening of music to Osberton International Horse Trials 2024. From start to finish, the group were exceptionally professional to work with. They arrived with plenty of time to spare, set up their own kit and performed banger after banger live for our audience. Totally self sufficient and easy to work with. The level of showmanship/musical talent on display was also absolutely top drawer. Our audience absolutely loved the evening and we will 100% refer/book again. Thank you again and wishing you a brilliant end to 2024."
Rich hired ABBA ATTACK for a Private event (available in South Yorkshire)
"Wow, what can I say… Guacamaya were absolutely incredible!!! We absolutely loved every part of working with this band! Jose was not only amazingly professional but willing to go the extra mile to learn some songs we really wanted to be included. My Nigerian husband loves Afrobeats particularly Fela Kuti and my gosh they delivered and then some. Singing some songs in Yoruba and Igbo… unreal. They also incorporated some Caribbean tunes to represent my heritage, our families were thrilled! Seeing our parents and elders up dancing and living in the moment was the best! All the band members were lovely and made a point of coming to introduce themselves and then some were able to stay on for food and enjoy some of our DJ set. I can honestly say the band was the second highlight to our day, getting married comes first of course lol! Can’t wait to arrange another event just so I can book them again!! "
Valeri hired Guacamaya Latin Band for a Wedding (available in South Yorkshire)
"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. "

FAQs about hiring Tribute Bands in South Yorkshire
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.
