Pop & Rock Bands in Cambridgeshire

Hire a rock and pop covers band in Cambridgeshire

A good pop and rock band turns a room of guests into a crowd. In Cambridgeshire, these bands are booked for company parties, wedding evenings, milestone birthdays and summer events — anywhere people want to sing along to songs they know, from eighties anthems and Britpop to the latest chart hits.

Cambridgeshire has a great choice of party venues, from Swynford Manor and South Farm to The Guildhall. Our pop and rock bands travel right across the area, including Huntingdon, Ely and St Neots, so wherever you've booked, the band will come to you.

Pop and rock covers a lot of ground. Some bands lean towards classic rock and big guitar anthems, others towards indie and Britpop, and some are pure chart-pop party bands with mash-ups and medleys. A few minutes watching their videos will tell you which fits your crowd.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched live bands with events of every size. The pop and rock bands listed here all travel to Cambridgeshire, include travel in the price, and arrive with their own sound and lighting. The instant quote button shows pricing and availability for your date in seconds.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: from around £1,000 for a smaller line-up to £3,000 or more for a larger band, depending on date and set times
  • Line-ups from three and four-piece bands to six-piece bands with extra vocalists or keys
  • Two live sets plus a DJ playlist between and after sets as standard with most bands
  • Travel, PA and lighting are included in every quote
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Check the room size and any sound limiter before you choose. Rock sets can be loud, so a band used to playing at a controlled volume — or one with electronic drums — is worth considering for smaller rooms or venues with strict limits.

Most pop and rock bookings fall between about £1,000 and £3,000. The number of musicians is the biggest factor, followed by the date — Saturdays in summer and December are the busiest. Travel is included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.

Rather than a generic demo, each band's page shows the actual line-up you'd be booking, with videos, audio, a song list and client reviews. Between them you'll get a clear sense of the sound and the show well before the day.

The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the event. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.

FAQs

Expect rock classics from Queen, Bon Jovi and Fleetwood Mac, nineties Britpop and indie from Oasis and Blur, noughties anthems from The Killers and Kings of Leon, and current chart pop. Each band's page lists its full repertoire, and most will learn a first-dance or special request with enough notice.

Yes — it's one of the best choices for one. Most sets move through the decades, so older guests get the rock classics and younger guests get the recent hits, and there's always a run of songs everyone knows the words to.

Many can. If your venue has a sound limiter or a smaller room, look for a band that uses electronic drums or in-ear monitoring, and tell us about the limiter when you enquire so we can recommend acts that work within it.

Yes. Bands bring their own PA, lighting and usually a playlist for between sets. They'll need floor space for the line-up and power sockets nearby, so it's worth checking both with your venue, along with any sound limiter.

From around £1,000 for a smaller line-up to £3,000 or more for a larger band. The number of musicians and the date make the biggest difference, and travel is always included in the quote.

Most play two 60-minute or three 40-minute sets during the evening, with a playlist between sets and after the band finishes. Many also offer an extra acoustic set or a later finish if you need it.

Reviews

“Hi James, Thank you so much, everyone really loved the band and I’ve had some really brilliant feedback from lots of our guests. It was fab music and you guys helped to create a wonderful atmosphere! Everyone had a really good dance – I seem to remember the dance floor being constantly occupied. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for more. You set up very quickly and quietly and then produced some brilliant music.”

(5)

“Hi both, we've had many compliments from our guests about your performances and we couldn't be more pleased with how things went. Not only did you provide fantastic live music, but you did it in a tight spot with minimal help from us! We sincerely believe that we could not have chosen a better band for the day and want to thank you both for coming. Mr & Mrs Miller :)”

(5)

“The Tommy Guns were absolutely fantastic! They were all so friendly and accommodating with the venue and having to carry their equipment up the hill! Their performance was incredible and the two songs they kindly learnt for us were bang on! We loved every minute of it and will be singing their praises to anyone else we know wanting to hire a band! Thank you so much!”

(5)

“We weren’t sure what we wanted music-wise – we left the whole night under Natalie’s supervision – and my goodness did she deliver – all the band were great – especially playing the old 70s numbers with a modern twist – got my daughters and my mother up dancing together – a night we will never forget – they are already booked in to do our next family event!”

(5)

“The Tommy Guns played my 50th party in July 2015 and were truly excellent. Lovely guys, timely, set-up well in advance, v polite and flexible to my requests music wise and played two brilliant sets - coupled with keeping the party going full throttle with their playlist between (and post) sets. They got everyone up dancing and made the evening for all the guests. thoroughly recommended. Thanks guys! Tim. :-)”

(5)

“We just want to say a big thank you to the guys you were amazing. Everyone was up dancing from the moment they got there right through until the end of the reception. Loads of people complimenting the band and a few asking for details so hopefully get a few more bookings for you! Once again we can't thank you enough for a great atmosphere and great music.”
