Acoustic Musicians in the South East

Find acoustic musicians for your wedding or event in the South East

The South East covers a lot of ground, from Reading, Kensington, Canterbury, Brighton, Oxford and Southampton. Our acoustic musicians travel right across the region, so wherever your wedding or event is, you'll find acts on this page who already know the venues, the roads and the local crowds. They're booked for drinks receptions, dinners and relaxed parties.

This region page covers Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, East Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Kent, London, Oxfordshire, Surrey and West Sussex. If you already know which area your venue is in, the links below take you to the page for that area, with venues and acts picked for it.

Popular venues across the region include Englefield House, Eltham Palace, The Beacon, Flimwell Park, Merriscourt and Hayling Island Sailing Club. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we can usually say which acts have played there before.

The category covers acoustic soloists, duos and trios playing unplugged pop, soul and folk. Their pages show exactly what each one plays, so you can match the act to your guests and your venue.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched acts with clients right across the country. The acoustic musicians here all cover the South East 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 South East 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

Most acts perform two or three sets, with playlist music or a break in between. Share your running order when you enquire, including any special moments, and we'll build the quote around it.

Expect to pay from around £350 up to £1,400 or more for a larger line-up. The act, the date and your set times make the biggest difference. Every quote includes travel and any amplification, so nothing is added later.

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.

“You and your music was just the magic we needed on Saturday afternoon!
Many thanks indeed for giving us such a treat and getting our party started, against that damp and cool background too! The tunes were all terrific and you were both so calm, warm and patient with us all.
I hope there'll be another opportunity to hear you play again soon.”

“Thank you for a wonderful performance. Jack and Tee were excellent, got everyone up dancing, the music was good enough to satisfy my very fussy musical family and that's saying something. All the guests thought they were great and gave them excellent reviews. We highly recommend them and will not hesitate to call them for another family function. Flexible, current and worth every penny. (10 / 10)”

“Love Detroit Vintage Duo! Was so happy to find them for my wedding a couple of years ago, Paul was great to deal with and everybody commented on how good they were for weeks after. They sound authentic and always look like they are enjoying themselves whilst playing. Recently booked them again when I was helping my Dad organise a big 50th birthday and they were great!”

“Exceptionally talented pair. Had the pleasure of listening to them on the P&O Britannia and they helped us have a fantastic time, we were truly entertained. The vocals are beautifully on point and create a perfect atmosphere. Best of all is their choice of repertoire, so much variety and perfect to relax to; I even found myself singing along on several occasions! Thanks for some great music.”

(5)

“Absolutely fantastic, very professional. A beautiful voice which was even better than the video. We booked them for 1 hr and to sing our first dance song. It is a memory that I will never forget. All the guests really enjoyed the music as they sang songs from all genres and did it extremely well. Very talented. We are very pleased that we booked them and could not have asked for more.”

“Really great to meet you and the band last night, thanks so much for an awesome performance! Everyone absolutely loved it, as you could probably tell by the dancing on tables and repeated calls for an encore :) You hit the nail on the head in terms of the brief and the kind of performance we were after and you totally brought your A-game!”
