Hello! We are The Encores are a Wedding and Function band based in Scarborough, playing across the UK and beyond.We play a large number of weddings, parties, and corporate events throughout the year and pride ourselves on being able to provide a massively eclectic range of music to suit all tastes and ages. We are happy to learn songs for events if a client would like something that isn't on our set list!
Our standard package for any event includes a FREE DJ service prior to, and after the live band sets. All sound and lighting is provided and we have all our electrical equipment PAT tested. Additionally we carry up £10 million pounds of public liability insurance.
We work well with events management staff, and wedding planners and discretion is part and parcel. You’ll barely know we are there until we start playing! There is no need for noisy unpleasant soundchecks, everything is digitally pre-set to give you a brilliant sound from the very first song.
Additionally for peace of mind we work exceptionally well in venues with sound limiters as we use an electric drum kit. So rest assured we wont be tripping the power off, blowing what’s left of your grammars eardrums, or loosing the live music licence for your venue.
There is no such thing as too many questions, so feel free to ask us whatever you want.
Thanks for checking us out and we look forward to hearing from you!

We need a minimum of 2 power sockets within close proximity to the performance space and we need to be informed upon booking if there is a sound limiter.
Yes we do, a full band PA system is provided and stage lighting is also provided.
Ideally the load-in arrangements so we know where to park and also, any particular directions that may not be shown on Sat-Nav devices.
Yes! Both Spotify and Apple Music.
We have been fortunate enough to play at many of the most beautiful venues in the UK, from stunning Castles in Scotland to London Hotels such as The Mayfair and The Langham.
The Best gig we played was probably for Dragons Den judge Sara Davies. We were booked for a significant birthday celebration and it was quite the party as you can imagine!
We love a huge range of artists and this is reflected in our song list! If the song is great, we enjoy playing it! As a band we are incredibly diverse in our musical influences from Rachmaninov to Rage Against The Machine!
We've been working as a band for 13 years now, meeting on the music scene in Scarborough, North Yorkshire. Between us we've worked contracts on Cruise Ships, and Hotels across the world, worked in West End Theatres and played some of the biggest Festival Stages. We now focus our energies on weddings and corporate events, aiming to provide the very best performance possible!
We love playing for anyone and everyone! As long as people are having a great time, we'll be happy!
45-60 minutes set up time, depending on load-in location. Mixing desk is pre-set so no sound check needed most of the time.
Yes, although this is of course weather dependant, and we'll need a nearby power supply and a flat, solid surface (not grass).
Absolutely! Each event is about you, it should be special! Prior to all gigs, we send over our master song list and you can choose 15 songs or so from this you like and we'll endeavour to play these. We'll then build the remaining set around these. We also encourage guest requests on the night!
"High energy", "Keeping the dancefloor full all night!", and "they just knew so many songs, something to suit everyone!" are quotes from previous clients! Essentially we want the night to be about YOU and the music you guys enjoy!
We do 2 sets, usually 1 hour each in length. This can be tailored to your request though if needed!
Not at all! It's more and more common for wedding venues to have sound limiters these days for a number of reasons, and this can impact on the evening if your band are not prepared/able to work with this prerequisite.
We use state of the art digital drums and no amplifiers, meaning that we have total control over the sound on stage. As a result we are able to mix the levels to ensure that it's still a great night! It's important that the limiter is mentioned to us upon booking, so we are prepared on the evening!
Black! It's the go to attire for most function bands, and it's easy! Suited and booted isn't our vibe and it is also much less easy to perform in!
