We had Andrea in as our Dolly tribute and she was fantastic. The crowd absolutely loved her and she created a brilliant atmosphere from start to finish.
A great night all round - we’d happily have her back and would definitely recommend.

Excellent act! very professional service

Fantastic Dolly Parton tribute played at Guildtown Village Hall great audience participation and all guests loved the show great performer costumes and the music set, perfect.

Brilliant performance by Dolly, alias Andrea, excellent singer tribute act and everybody enjoyed her performance at the party.

From the moment Dolly stepped out she wowed the audience with a rendition of 9 to 5 which went down a storm. She played all the favourite songs and had had the audience singing along. Dolly was very accommodating and agreed to judge the best dressed cowboy/cowgirl which she did with great humour. She also encouraged dancing while she was singing, which was great for our guests. Dolly took on the persona of the original Dolly and chatted in between songs including the audience in her chat. All in all a wonderful evening and Dolly really was the icing on the cake.

So a big thanks from Jenny and Susan for making our party so special xxx

The act was superb and it went down well with our sell out crowd.

You have a lovely, lovely voice.

You have a wonderful voice, your vocal ability is superb.

When I heard Andrea sing "Islands in The Stream" it could have been Dolly herself!

The best Dolly Parton tribute I've ever heard.

FAQs

How far in advance should we book?

As soon as you know your date. Weekends, especially in summer, can book up 12 months or more ahead, so the earlier you secure The Essential Dolly Parton, the better. We can sometimes help at a few weeks' notice too, so it's always worth asking.

What's your payment and cancellation policy?

A £250 reservation fee secures your date, and the balance is due 30 days before the event. If you cancel more than three months before, you only lose the reservation fee. Charges then rise on a sliding scale, and the full amount is due within one month of the date. Your booking agreement sets out the exact terms.

What if the timings change after we book?

That's fine. Plans often change as the day gets closer. Just let the Hireaband team know, and we'll check the new timings with The Essential Dolly Parton and update your booking. If you'd like to add more performance time or another act later on, we can arrange that too.

What should we expect if we've never booked an act through Hireaband before?

We'll guide you from your first enquiry to the day itself. You'll get a written booking agreement, a clear quote and a named contact. Hireaband is free to use, and with the Hireaband Price Promise you'll never pay more for an act than by booking anywhere else.

How much contact will we have with the act before the event?

We'll put you in touch with The Essential Dolly Parton around three months before your date, so you can go through timings, music choices and any special requests together. Until then, the Hireaband team are on hand to answer any questions.

Can we see the act perform before booking?

Most performances are at private events, so it isn't always possible to see an act live. The videos, audio and client reviews on this page are the best way to get a feel for The Essential Dolly Parton. If you'd like to know more, the Hireaband team are happy to talk it through with you.

How far will you travel?

Many of our acts perform across the UK. Any quote you receive already includes travel, so there are no surprise extras. For longer journeys an overnight stay may be needed, and we'll tell you before you book.

Are you insured?

If your venue asks for public liability insurance or electrical safety (PAT) certificates, let the Hireaband team know. We'll get the paperwork from The Essential Dolly Parton and send it to your venue.

Will we need to provide anything on the day?

This depends on the act and how long they're with you. Some need a space to get ready, parking, or a meal if they're with you for several hours. We'll confirm The Essential Dolly Parton's requirements with you before the day, so there are no surprises.

What happens if the performer is ill on the day?

It's very rare, but if it happens we'll find a suitable replacement. Hireaband is one of the UK's largest entertainment agencies, with hundreds of acts on our books, so we can usually cover your event even at short notice.
