Frequently asked questions

How long do background music bands in Berkshire usually perform for?

Each event is different but the typical performance time for background music bands in Berkshire is 2 x 45 minutes sets within a 2 hours period. Some acts are happy to play longer sets or additional sets. Often, breaks can be negotiated but you should be aware that the price may increase if the musicians need to be onsite for a longer period of time.

Do background music bands in Berkshire perform outdoors?

You should always check whether or not your act is prepared to play outdoors. Weather conditions such as wind, rain, or extreme temperatures can affect the performance and the instruments. If you are planning an outdoor event you should be prepared to offer a flat surface for performers as well as a cover in case of unexpected rain.

How far in advance do we need to book your services?

Booking background music bands in Berkshire as early as possible increases the chance of securing their availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many acts also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Will the act provide all the necessary equipment, such as sound systems and lighting?

Most background music bands are self-contained and provide their own sound equipment which is suitable for typical situations. If your event is to be held in a large venue, or you have more than 300 guests, we recommend that additional sound equipment should be used. Always ask your act about their sound system requirements. Some background music bands in Berkshire have lighting systems, but most usually will charge extra for this or recommend a third party supplier for you to use.

How much do background music bands cost in Berkshire?

The cost of hiring musicians in Berkshire can vary significantly depending on the type of act. The average price is currently £738. Budget-level acts may be available for as low as £50, while top-tier acts can command prices as high as £3995.
