Acquiesce are a band that creates an explosive energy live. Every song in their set list is anthemic, upbeat, modern and is guaranteed to fill the dance floor from the off. Specialising in songs from the early 90’s onwards, anyone looking for a function band that offers modern music should look no further. Their shows have been carefully structured to focus on Weddings / Parties / Universities / Corporate Events etc and will leave you spellbound by their non-stop energy levels as they perform hit after hit. All band members are accomplished musicians and have many years of experience from performing live. If you want modern, energetic music for your event, these guys have it by the bucket load!
Your Event:
Acquiesce will arrive at the agreed time and in a manner you would expect from a professional band. Their trademark black and white presentation of open-necked shirts and ties not only provides a memorable rock n’ roll look, but is also smart enough for any occasion, yet casual enough to avoid standing out in the wrong ways. Acquiesce would make the perfect centre-piece for any event.

Please ensure that your venue can provide a performance area of at least 4m wide by 3m deep and allowing an additional square metre either side for the speakers. Our volume levels run up to 110db, so please ensure any sound limitations are discussed prior to booking. We request 2x 13 amp power sockets and for safety reasons, we will not plug into someone else's extension lead. If power is supplied by a generator, it must be able to provide an uninterrupted supply of 2000W (watts) / 9A (amps) at 230V (volts). We typically bring 4 vehicles and would require parking and appropriate loading access.
We provide a full PA system and stage lighting rig, but can also accommodate venues who would like us to use an in-house system.
We would need to know the location of the venue, parking and any specific loading instructions. A secure area to store equipment cases is always helpful, but not essential. If the venue have a sound limiter, power concerns or an unusually shaped performance area, these should be discussed with the band prior to booking.
We can provide a complimentary pre-mixed playlist of popular music, which is in keeping with the genre of the band.
There have been many favourite performances over the years, including festival stages, intimate wedding venues and military barracks. The best gigs are generally those where we have space to move around and perform!
Our biggest influences are Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys and Muse, although our favourite songs to perform are generally the more cheesy 90s brit-pop classics, as everyone likes to sing along with us.
As a band, we have performed together for over 10 years and played well in excess of 500 shows, but as individual musicians, we have each perfected our art for much longer.
Although any event can become a favourite if the crowd are wearing their dancing shoes, we really enjoy performing outside on a summer's afternoon. The sunshine makes such a difference!
We like to allow 90 minutes to unload and setup equipment. Our set times can be tailored to requirements, but we typically play 2x 80 minute sets.
We'll gladly play in any location, inside or out, providing we have a clean and flat level surface, a safe supply of power and suitable protection from the elements.
With a repertoire of over 100 popular songs, we can cater to most tastes and are happy for clients to pick their favourites for us to perform. With enough notice, we can learn and rehearse specific songs (providing they are practical for our setup), but this may carry an additional charge.
Our favourite review followed a party in Edenbridge and said: "Having heard Acquiesce playing in our local pub, I knew this was the band for my 40th. The lads were epic, Just epic! From the first song the place was rocking. Everyone keeps asking me where they're playing next? I couldn't recommend them highly enough, also a pleasure to deal with. Thanks again lads, see you soon."
