Female Tribute Acts in York

Book a female tribute band in York

Whether it's a milestone birthday in York, an anniversary party near Tadcaster or a themed night anywhere in York, 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 York 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.

York has a wide spread of party venues, from Merchant Adventurers' Hall and The Hospitium to Hotel du Vin York, alongside hotels, golf clubs and village halls around York and Selby. Whatever the setting, we can match the size of the act to the space, from a solo tribute in a function room to a full band in a marquee.

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.

Prices usually run from £500 for a solo tribute up to around £2,000 for a full live tribute band. Where your date falls makes a difference — summer Saturdays and the Christmas party season book up first and cost the most. The instant quote shows the full price and what it includes, so there are no surprises on the night.

You don't have to take anyone's word for it. Each act's page has video and audio of the real show, their full song list, and reviews from people who have booked them before. Watch a few clips, check the costumes and the voice, and read what other hosts said about the night itself.

Getting a price takes seconds: add your date and venue to the instant quote. After you book, we look after the paperwork, the deposit and every detail with the act, and stay on hand until the night itself. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, plus an emergency line on the night in case anything needs sorting.

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.

“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.”

“The girls were amazing singing 10/10 routine 10/10 costumes 10/10. Three of the
most stunning girls on stage that held a crowd all night. They got the bar singing
and dancing from the word go! This bar is normally empty around 9.30 on a regular
friday, not tonight , it was still very busy right till the end of the final set ! Well done
girls!”

“This review comes with my highest recommendation. From start to finish we had a
memorable evening for my Husband's 70th Birthday. We are thrilled we hired Ella to co-ordinate our ideas for this special event and delighted to endorse their services.
Thanks for everything and the Dolly Belles were simply outstanding - everyone is talking
about you!!”
