Female Tribute Acts in Cumbria

Book a female tribute band in Cumbria

Whether it's a milestone birthday in Carlisle, an anniversary party near Windermere or a themed night anywhere in Cumbria, a female tribute act turns a gathering into a show your guests will talk about. The same act has to work in a hotel ballroom one week and a village hall or back-garden marquee the next, and the best ones do.

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.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for parties and private events since 1999. Every act listed here travels to Cumbria as standard, and most bring their own PA and lighting and set up and clear away on the night — use the instant quote button on this page to check pricing, availability and exactly what's included for your date.

Looking for a venue as well? Popular places for parties in Cumbria include The Den at Four Acre, Eden Barn and Hidden River Barn, each with its own local venue page below. Our acts perform right across Cumbria, from Carlisle to Kendal, and we can advise on what works best in the room you have booked.

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

Space and budget matter more than guest numbers. A solo tribute artist singing to high-quality backing tracks fits comfortably into a function room, a pub or a marquee at home, and is the most affordable way to put on a show. A duo or a full live tribute band adds live musicianship and more volume for a bigger room or a bigger crowd. If you tell us the space — hotel room, club function suite, marquee at home — we can usually say what has worked there before.

Most bookings fall between £500 and £2,000. Solo tributes performing to backing tracks sit towards the lower end and full live tribute bands towards the upper end, with the day and the time of year making up the rest of the difference — a weekday date can cost less than a Saturday in summer or December. Your quote sets out exactly what's included, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.

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.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote to see prices and availability immediately. When you've picked your act, we take care of the contract, deposit and arrangements, and keep in touch right up to the party. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund on every booking and an emergency contact line on the night.

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.”
