Tribute Acts in Durham
Tribute acts and tribute bands in Durham
A tribute act can turn a party into a proper show. Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, themed nights and company celebrations in Durham all suit a tribute, and the act has to work just as well in a village hall as it does in a hotel ballroom.
Across Durham, our tribute acts play hotels, social clubs, village halls and marquees in and around Barnard Castle, Sedgefield and Chester-le-Street. Venues in the area include Beamish Hall Hotel, Black Horse Beamish and Ramside Hall Hotel, and our performers are used to adapting their show to the room.
Tribute acts range from solo performers singing to high-quality backing tracks through to full live bands. Some focus on one artist, others on an era or a mix of hits. Knowing the crowd and the budget makes the choice much easier.

A tribute works best when the rest of the evening joins in. Fancy dress, a themed playlist between sets and a few decorations make a big difference. Tell us the theme when you enquire and we'll suggest acts that fit it.
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.
