Tribute Acts in Derbyshire

Tribute acts and tribute bands in Derbyshire

If you want a party with a theme, a tribute act is one of the easiest ways to do it. Whether it's a 70s disco, an 80s night or an evening with one artist, hosts in Derbyshire book tributes that look and sound the part and bring the whole room together.

Whether your party is near Derby, Bakewell and Matlock or elsewhere in Derbyshire, the acts listed here cover the whole area. Local venues include Thornbridge Hall, Shottle Hall and Donington Park Farmhouse. If you're planning a themed night, ask the venue whether guests can decorate the room to match.

The category covers ABBA, Queen, The Beatles, Take That, Elvis, Michael Bublé and Dolly Parton, along with decade shows for the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. Most perform in costume as part of the show, and their pages show exactly how close they get to the real thing.

Since 1999, Hireaband has supplied tribute acts for celebrations of every size. The acts listed here all travel to Derbyshire, bring their own PA and lighting, and include travel in the price. The instant quote button shows pricing and availability for your date in seconds.

What to know:

  • Budget £500 for a solo tribute up to £2,000 for a full band
  • Every quote includes the act's PA, lighting and travel
  • Most perform in costume, often with a change between sets
  • Playlist music is provided between sets, so there's no silence
  • Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Most tribute acts perform two sets of 45 minutes to an hour, often with a costume change in between, and provide playlist music during breaks. If you'd like a special song or a birthday moment, let the act know beforehand and they'll build it into the show.

A solo tribute artist typically starts from around £500, while a full live tribute band can reach £2,000 or more. December and summer Saturdays are the busiest dates. The price in your quote includes PA, lighting and travel, so it won't change once you've booked.

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, alongside their full song list. Underneath are written reviews from people who have already booked them.

Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the day if anything needs sorting quickly.

FAQs

A covers band plays hits from lots of different artists; a tribute act recreates one artist, group or era — the songs, the look and the stage show — so the night feels like seeing the real thing.
Yes, milestone birthdays and anniversaries are some of the most common tribute bookings — same process, same instant quote, PA and lighting included.
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 — PA, lighting and travel are always included in the quote.
Most parties book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday or a December date, when the most popular tributes go quickly.

Reviews

“After the first few chords the floor was alive with 70's retro cladded party goers. The songs were fantastic, the band musicians excellent! The band appeared to be having as good time as the party goers! Everyone has been talking about how great the party was for weeks, and in particular Chic 2 Chic. Even the gig-die-hards said "what an amazing band". If you want a special night call on Chic 2 Chic, they are worth every penny!”

“We had a Freddie Mercury tribute night at our Member's Club and hired Lee from He Will Rock You with Hireaband and he was amazing! Everyone had such a great night, he got everyone up and dancing to his performance and we have had such good feedback from those who attended the evening. It couldn't have gone any better and I would definitely recommend Hireaband and He Will Rock You to anyone looking for a tribute!”

“5 stars for Paul Thorpe best Elvis entertainer I have ever seen. He is a very friendly and helpful guy, he is just a real gent. Do go to see him if he comes to your town. You will not be disappointed. I usually see him in Grangemouth and surrounding areas, decided to go to Peterhead prison Jailhouse Rock show. Then to Glasgow the Marriot hotel. husband enjoyed his 60th Birthday treat in our own home.”

“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.”

“Just to say we had a really good time yesterday with Gerry and his wife. They were very professional and gave Jason, my sons 48th birthday, a real treat. All the other residents in the house, the carers and the rest of my family had a good time. Although it was a small audience for them ( 15 people) they pulled out all the stops with 2 sessions and further party disco music.”

(5)

“Lala Lounge was delighted with Rocktail Party's performance at our launch party. The energy levels were fantastic and their attention to detail, showmanship and hairography second to none. A thoroughly committed and passionate band, their obvious enjoyment of being on stage and their interaction with the guests really got the party started. Not only that but off stage they were professional, relaxed and resourceful under the pressure of a brand new venue.”
