"Miss Holiday and the Swingtones made our wedding an absolute hit and a musical dream! From the moment they stepped onto the stage to the time they finished 3 sets later, song after song, they kept us all delighted and coming back to the dancefloor. All our guests say it is the best band they ever saw at a wedding! We could not be more happy and grateful for the amazing classy celebration they helped us create. Thank you, and we LOVE you!!!"

FAQs about hiring Vintage Bands in Southend-On-Sea

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore

Can any vintage band play my favourite song?

Professional vintage bands will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice. Please also keep in mind that vintage bands may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the vintage band's song list on their Encore profile.

How much time do vintage bands take to set up?

Your vintage 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 vintage 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 vintage 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 vintage 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.
