Acoustic Musicians in the North West

Acoustic musicians covering the whole of the North West

Finding the right acoustic musician is easier when you can see every option in one place. This page covers all of the North West, from Formby, Lytham St Annes, Knutsford, Lancaster, Salford Quays and Windermere, and every act listed travels to venues across the region for drinks receptions, dinners and relaxed parties.

Across Blackpool, Cheshire, Cumbria, Lancashire, Lancaster, Liverpool and Manchester, the acoustic musicians listed here play drinks receptions, dinners and relaxed parties. Use the area links lower down if you'd like a list narrowed to one part of the North West.

Venues across the North West that our acts know well include Royal Live Suite in the Liver Building and Grand Hotel Blackpool, Arley Hall & Gardens and Lancaster House Hotel, and Ordsall Hall and Hidden River Barn. Every venue has its own space, power supply and finish time, and we'll check those with the act for you.

Not every acoustic musician does the same job. Within this category you'll find acoustic soloists, duos and trios playing unplugged pop, soul and folk, and knowing the feel you want for your wedding or event makes the choice much easier.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched acts with clients right across the country. The acoustic musicians here all cover the North West and include travel and any amplification in the price. The instant quote button shows pricing and availability for your date in seconds.

What to know:

  • Budget £350 to £1,400 for most bookings
  • Every quote includes travel and any amplification
  • Travel within the North West is never added on later
  • Many acts offer longer or extra sets if you need them
  • Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund

The North West is a large area, so it's worth mentioning your venue's exact location when you enquire. Acts based nearby often have more availability and more experience of local venues, and we'll point you towards them.

Most bookings fall between £350 and £1,400. The size of the line-up is the biggest factor, followed by the date and how long the act plays. Travel and any amplification are included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay, wherever you are in the North West.

Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the actual line-up you'd be booking, with videos, audio and a song list. Underneath are reviews from clients, often at venues you'll recognise.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.

“Jessie was amazing from the minute we first spoke to him, so chilled and made everything stress free which is exactly what we wanted. He has the most incredible voice and his performance of our first dance was honestly unreal, we actually preferred it to the original! Even with only 30 guests at the wedding party, he still managed to fill the dance floor with the DJ set later on. We cannot thank him enough.”

“Thank you so much for your contribution to Caroline and Gustavo's wedding on Saturday. Your playing was absolutely fabulous and gave the Spanish Theme a wonderful lift. It was absolutely lovely and so many people commented on how beautifully you played and how great the tunes were. Everyone appreciated your contribution to the day and it made such a difference. Many many thanks.”

“Declan was a breath of fresh air- not only was he professional but put us both at ease knowing that the music was in the best hands. We received loads of compliments about the ceremony and drinks reception music Declan played. He chatted away to some of our guests before he headed off which was lovely. Would recommend Declan 100% to anyone and only wish we had another event to book him for!”

“Tommy & Sons were absolutely fabulous. We loved their sets, and so did all our guests. They were genuinely lovely people, and some of our guests were able to get up and sing with them. This was brilliant! Couldn't be happier with our choice to hire Tommy & Sons; comms between hireaband, and the band were excellent and we hope to use them again in the future. Thank you!”

“We thought Ian Was amazing! All our guests said how brilliant his voice was and how much they enjoyed his take on classic songs. He was very easy to contact when we were planning everything and even agreed to sing a few songs in memory of my late Mum and Dad. We booked him immediately after hearing him on an agency web site! Thanks for being a part of our special day Ian.”

“I hope you got back ok on Saturday night. We just wanted to thank you for making our wedding evening so perfect. The music was amazing and everyone really enjoyed it. Slightly biased, but I have never been to a wedding when the dance floor has been so full for so much of the night! Looking forward to seeing the photos. Thanks again”
