Female Tribute Acts in Cardiff

Book a female tribute band in Cardiff

From function rooms at hotels around Cardiff and Penarth to golf and social clubs near Barry, and marquees going up in back gardens across Cardiff, a female tribute act in Cardiff can turn a party into a proper show. Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, themed nights and company celebrations all suit a female tribute act — and the act has to work just as well in a village hall as it does in a hotel ballroom.

A female tribute is a costume-and-character show as much as a set of songs, and the big pop and country stars are made for singalongs, which is why they are a favourite for birthdays and hen-style celebrations. Our female tribute acts cover Dolly Parton, Cher, Shania Twain, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears and Diana Ross, from solo performers singing to backing tracks through to full live bands, most performing in costume as part of the show. Acts on our books include The Dolly Parton Experience, Essentially Cher, The Essential Shania Twain, The Essential Taylor Swift Party, The Definitive Britney Spears, Lady Gaga and The Essential Diana Ross & Motown Show.

We've been booking live entertainment since 1999, and every act on this page covers Cardiff. Most bring their own sound and lighting and handle the set-up and pack-down themselves. The instant quote button shows the price, availability and exactly what's included for your date.

Across Cardiff, tribute nights take place everywhere from country houses to hotel suites and private marquees. Popular venues in Cardiff include De Courceys Manor, Pencoed House Estate and Cardiff Castle, and our acts regularly travel to parties in and around Cardiff and Penarth. Tell us where you're holding yours and we'll suggest acts that suit the room.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £500 to £2,000, depending on line-up, date and season
  • Your quote shows exactly what's included, from travel to PA and lighting
  • Line-ups from solo tribute artists to full live tribute bands
  • Most parties book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday or December
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Start with the space you have. In a function room, a pub or a marquee in the garden, a solo tribute singing to backing tracks gives you the full show for the lowest cost. For a ballroom, a big hall or a crowd that wants live musicians on stage, a duo or full tribute band is the better fit. We can usually tell you what has worked in similar venues before.

Expect to pay somewhere between £500 and £2,000. The biggest factor is the line-up: a solo tribute to backing tracks costs less than a full live band. The date matters too, with Saturdays in summer and December in highest demand, while weekday and off-season dates often cost less. Your quote lists exactly what's included, with no extras added later.

Every act's page carries video and audio of that exact show, so you can see the costumes, hear the voice and judge how close the tribute is to the real thing, rather than relying on a generic demo, alongside their full song list. Underneath are written reviews from people who have already booked them. Between the videos, the set list and the feedback, you can form a clear picture of the night well before you commit.

Use the instant quote button on this page and enter your date and venue to see pricing and availability straight away. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day itself. Every booking comes with a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the night if anything needs sorting quickly.

FAQs

Solo tributes to artists such as Dolly Parton, Cher, Shania Twain, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears, plus female-fronted groups and vocal harmony trios.

Yes — big-voiced pop and country tributes are some of the most popular picks for birthday and celebration parties.

Yes — a marquee or a large room at home is a common setting, and a solo tribute in particular needs very little space. The same act can just as easily play a hotel function room or a social club the next weekend.

Usually, yes. Solo and duo tributes need only a small performance area and a standard power supply; for a full band, tell us the room and we'll check the line-up fits comfortably.

Typically £500 to £2,000, depending mainly on whether it's a solo tribute or a full live band, and on the date. Your quote shows exactly what's included.

Most parties book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday or a December date, when the most popular tributes go quickly.

“The Essential Soul Sisters were everything and more than we expected. Not only wonderfully warm and easy to deal with on the night, their singing and performance was exceptional. I wish we had a longer evening to listen to them more.”

“Dear Sharn,

Lovely to meet you on Saturday!

Your outstanding set was highly entertaining, had I not been working I would have been on the dance floor.

Look forward to working with you again.

All the best,”

“Well what can I say. Hire a band and absolute Abba well easy to communicate with. Debbie and the others from the Abba tribute were a pleasure to have in our home and they truly made our birthday celebration.
Everyone at our party really enjoyed the group and they got everyone dancing and singing. I cannot recommend Hire a band and Absolute Abba enough. I was concerned about hiring a band from the internet but I really need not worry, everything went smoothly.”

“Dear Sharn

Thank you so much again for being the star at my 50th party. You managed to get a bunch of crusty 50 year olds on to the dance floor when they thought they had forgotten how to. I really enjoyed my party for many reasons but most of all, it was fun and felt young.

A friend enjoyed your act so much that he wants you at his Christmas party this year. He’ll be in touch.

All the best,”

“The Dotty Duo joined us at Armed Forces Day at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. They were a pleasure to work with from initial enquiry to performance. The organisation preceding the event was excellent, and even last minute changes were responded
to helpfully and with grateful flexibility. On the day they gave two performances, looking and sounding wonderful. I would absolutely look to book them again and would happily recommend them, having booked them on a recommendation as is. Thank you!”

“Closing the evening out was the superbly presented three-girl vocal and dance act
The Angelettes.
This Motown-tribute show, performed by a trio of stunningly clad brunettes, could
conceivably become a market-leading attraction on this showing. Large theatrestyle
cruise venues must be the natural target for this act.
Image and dance skills dovetail perfectly here with considerable vocal ability.
This is an act which, if pitched correctly, could be one of the cabaret finds of 2012.”
