Overview

The Supersonics have successfully carved themselves a huge chunk of the wedding and private function market over the past few years. Hireaband are proud to be representatives of such a superb band of highly talented music professionals!

A classic 3-piece line-up of guitar/vocals, bass and drums forms this perfect pop & rock party band. The Supersonics have the ability to drift seamlessly between vintage 60's and 70's legendary anthems and bang up to date modern classics, via staple indie pop singalong standards.

Wherever you look, their repertoire resembles a who's who of pure guitar-driven party heaven. Every one a floor-filler, you're guaranteed two sets of anthemic bliss for you and all of your guests!

But it's not just all about the set list, there are many bands out there who claim to offer the same. What you get with The Supersonics though, is the tunes and the kind of polished yet charismatic performance you'd expect from such. Years of performing to wedding and function audiences at pretty much every venue you can imagine in the North East of England and beyond, has forged a tight band who is so at ease with each other and what they do that they never fail to satisfy even the most demanding of crowds! 

If you're looking for a band who is going to rock the socks off your party, then you really need look no further than The Supersonics.

Just wanted to say thank you again for Saturday! So, so glad you guys were there. The set list was awesome (no Katy Perry or Ed Sheeran in sight) and the atmosphere was exactly what I wanted. Aside from my son being born and us beating Sunderland in the derby it was the best day of my life & you guys were a huge part of it.”

Hi Guys What can I say….You were amazing!!!
All our guests said how fantastic you were they loved your sound as did we. Our first dance song, Metallica’s Nothing Else Matters, was absolutely amazing. Ian actually said when he hears the song he can just picture you guys. We are so so pleased we chose you and we really mean that. If anyone is ever looking for a band we will definitely be highly recommending you!
Massive thanks for making our wedding evening so memorable.

Sorry it’s taken us so long to get round to officially thanking you all for your spectacular performance at our wedding. You honestly rocked the place and 2 months later people are still saying how good our wedding band were. You guys are tremendous performers and we can’t thank you enough for packing our dance floor all night. We wish you all the best for the future

Had the pleasure of this amazing band playing at our wedding last night!!! You guys totally made the night. The atmosphere was amazing and the dance floor was never empty. You definitely made it a night to remember. I would highly recommend this band if you are considering booking for future events. The lads were professional, polite and were helpful from the time of booking until they left the hotel after finishing. Cannot speak highly enough of them!!! Thanks for the memories, you rocked!

Hi Guys. We just want to say that you guys are phenomenal. From our first point of contact to the very last minute of our joint birthday and anniversary party you provided a highly professional and polished service. We would recommend you without hesitation to provide top class entertainment.
We would tell anyone looking for a band, whatever the occasion, to BOOK THE SUPERSONICS! You provided us with a service bespoke to our needs, whilst giving us the support and advice that we needed during the planning process. This all ensured that the bash went with a bang!
We’ve lost count of the number of people who praised the band and enthused about what a fabulous time they had at our party.
Thank you Peter, Phil and Anth for your part in a fantastic evening which we will never forget.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for performing at our wedding at Rudby Hall. Your set was perfect and had everyone up dancing and wanting more. Extra special thanks for an amazing rendition of our first dance – we loved it! There were so many great comments from the guests about how good you were and you really made the night come alive so thank you!! The venue were also impressed by your set and your professionalism so gold stars all around.
Big thanks once again and we will certainly be recommending you to anyone in the future who needs a fabulous band to get the party started.

We have been working with The Supersonics for a number of years now. We’ve booked them for numerous corporate events, outdoor family fun days and themed parties around the UK and will be working with them again. They are a pleasure to work with; always on time, professional and look and sound fantastic! I would highly recommend this band to anyone; they are suitable for all occasions and are always adding new material to their sets. A great North East band; reliable and always get the crowd going.”

Hello to our new favourite band; The Supersonics. I’m so sorry for the late message to you guys. Me and Aidan want to say a HUGE thank you for playing at our wedding at Beamish Hall. We are so pleased we booked you guys and you were one of the best things we spent our money on on the day. Everyone commented on how fabulous you were and how it wasn’t like an average wedding where people are afraid to get up and dance. You had all our guests on their feet dancing the night away and everyone loved the songs you performed. We wouldn’t hesitate for one minute recommending you to family and friends in the future. We knew we made the right decision booking you guys when we came to see you guys perform at one of your venues.

Guys, thank you for last night, you absolutely nailed it. We knew you would be good but you were actually great! 10/10. Top guys!

The The Hireaband website made something I thought would be a difficult process a doddle! The communication received made the whole thing completely stress free. The band themselves were absolutely fantastic, everything was ready as promised. Their performance was first class. All our guests were blown away by them. Even the venue staff said they were the best band they had in the venue in a very long time!! Thank you very much to The Supersonics, Rachel and myself would not hesitate to recommend you and Hireaband to anyone planning an event. Thanks for an amazing evening.

Hi Lee, Just wanted to let you know The Supersonics were excellent. Everything went really well and the lads were very good all night. Funnily enough, we ended up letting them go at 12 after all of that! I will recommend to friends and family if they are ever looking for a band. Regards,

We are so happy with how the evening went & that you were so accommodating & considerate that it was exactly what we wanted.

Bit late, but massive thank you for providing us with such good entertainment for our wedding. The dance floor was full all night and afterwards so many people came to me to ask about the band and comment on how good they were; ‘Best Wedding Band Ever’ was said by more than one person. Thanks again, you really helped make our day.

FAQs

How far in advance should we book?

As soon as you know your date, really. Popular dates (weekends, especially in summer) can book up 12+ months ahead, but we've also pulled off cracking gigs with just a few weeks' notice if we're free. The earlier you lock it in, the more choice you'll have.

How much do you charge?

You can use the instant quote button on this page to get a price straight away — your fee will appear on screen, and you'll also get a follow-up email confirming it. If we're available and you're happy with the price, get back in touch with the Hireaband team to secure the date. It's very much first come, first served, so if we're available, don't hesitate.

What's your payment and cancellation policy?

Hireaband will ask for a reservation fee to secure your date, with the remaining balance due before the event (your booking confirmation will have exact dates and amounts). If you need to cancel or postpone, get in touch as early as possible — the closer to the date, the harder it is for Hireaband to fill the slot, so the cancellation terms reflect that. Full details are in your booking agreement, but the Hireaband team are always happy to talk through the specifics.

What if any timings change after booking you?

No problem at all. We know that timings and details aren't always set in stone at the booking stage, and plans have a habit of evolving as your big day gets closer. We're happy to be flexible around changes to your schedule, and if you decide further down the line that you'd like to add on any extra services, just get in touch with the Hireaband team and they'll sort it out for you.

What should we expect if we've never booked a live band before?

Totally understandable if this all feels a bit new! Booking a band is a big part of your day, so we're here to make it as straightforward as possible. We've performed at countless weddings and events, and the Hireaband team will guide you through every step, from your initial enquiry right through to the big day itself. If you're ever unsure about anything, just ask — that's what we're here for.

Can we see you perform live before booking?

We don't always have public gigs to invite you to (weddings tend to be private!), but we're always happy to jump on a call and talk you through what to expect. A public performance will often be posted on this page too, so it's worth checking back — and if we do have one coming up, we'll gladly send details your way.

How much contact will we have with the band before the wedding?

Hireaband will put you in direct touch with us around 3 months before your date, so you can go through all the finer details together — song choices, timings, any special requests and so on. In the meantime, the Hireaband team are always on hand to answer any questions you have, so you're never left waiting.

How many songs will the band learn especially for me?

We're happy to learn your first dance or a special request. Other songs depend on the time frame given and what the songs are. We're always keen to learn new things, so do let us know and we'll try to accommodate as best we can for you.

Can we choose our own setlist?

Yes, within reason. We have a core set of crowd-pleasers that we know works brilliantly, and we're experts at reading a room and picking the right songs on the night to keep everyone dancing. We're also always happy to tweak the setlist based on your taste — send us a few "must plays" and a few "please avoids" and we'll build the night around them. Just bear in mind that learning brand new songs from scratch (aside from your first dance) depends on notice — see above!

Will you be able to do my first dance?

Given enough notice, yes. It takes a while for us to rehearse a song to the high standards that we set ourselves. If you can give us at least 8 weeks' notice, that should be fine. The song also has to be suitable for a band. If we can't do it justice, then we can put it on an iPod and go seamlessly into our set at the end of it.

How much space does the band need?

This will vary depending on the size of the band and the setup on the night, but we've performed at a huge variety of venues and can comfortably fit into most spaces that have hosted a live band before. If your venue has anything a little unusual about it, we can usually find a way to make it work, so just get in touch if you're not sure and we'll be happy to advise.

What kind of band are The Supersonics?

We're a classic 3-piece pop and rock party band — guitar/vocals, bass and drums — able to drift seamlessly between vintage 60s and 70s legendary anthems, staple indie pop singalongs, and bang-up-to-date modern classics.

What makes The Supersonics stand out?

It's not just about the set list — every song is a floor-filler, delivered with a polished, charismatic energy across two sets of anthemic, guitar-driven party heaven for you and all your guests.

How long do you take to set up?

We ask for around an hour to set up and check everything is working, but if it needs to be shorter, just let us know and we'll always accommodate as best we can.

How far will you travel?

We regularly perform all over the country, so distance really is no object, but we will require an additional fee for travel and may need bed and breakfast arranged for us. Any price you receive already includes travel costs, so there won't be any surprise extras on top.

Will we need to feed you?

It depends on timings, but generally some hot food would be hugely appreciated. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. Normally a catering company will provide a 'crew meal' as part of their package, or we're happy to have evening food that's already available.

What do you wear?

We tend to be 'smart casual' as in our pictures and video. However, we can be smarter or more casual depending on your event and requirements.

How long do you perform for?

As standard, we provide 2 x 1hr or 3 x 40 minute sets as required on the night, up until midnight. We can play past midnight, but it can incur an additional fee. We are flexible though and will always try to accommodate your requirements. We can also add an additional 1hr set for a small fee!

Do you take breaks, and what happens to the music then?

Yes, we'll take short breaks between sets to grab a drink and catch our breath! During these breaks we'll have background music playing through our own PA system, so there's never a dead moment on the dancefloor. Just let us know if you have a particular playlist or Spotify account you'd like us to use.

Will the band provide a DJ service?

Yes, as standard we provide a playlist DJ service whenever we're not performing — so between sets and after our last set, right up until midnight (or your curfew if earlier). These are tried-and-tested playlists that we've refined over countless events, but you're also welcome to send us your own playlist to play instead. If you'd like a bit more than that, we offer an upgrade to a manned DJ service, where a band member stays on hand throughout to look after the music and take requests on the night.

Can you arrive earlier and finish later?

Our standard on-site time runs from 6pm to midnight, but we're happy to be flexible around your schedule. Whether you need us there earlier for an afternoon slot or performing later into the night, just let us know your requirements and we'll do our best to accommodate — additional fees may apply for extended hours.

Do you offer any optional extras?

Yes! On top of our standard package, we can offer a range of optional extras for an additional fee — things like extra performance sets, a manned DJ service, acoustic sets for your ceremony or drinks reception, and more. Just let us know what you have in mind and we'll see what we can put together for your day.

Do you provide all your own equipment?

Yes, all we need is a clear area in which to set up and a power supply.

Are you insured and PAT tested?

Yes to both. We carry full public liability insurance, and all our equipment is PAT tested annually. Hireaband will send your venue any certification that's required.

Can you work with sound limiters?

Yes. We don't 'love' them, but we absolutely can work within them.

What happens if one of the band is ill on the day of my event?

We have a network of fellow musicians that we can call on to stand in on the rare occasion one of the band is ill. On top of that, Hireaband is the UK's biggest entertainment agency and has access to dozens of wedding bands in your area even at the very last minute. However, we've never missed a gig yet.
