Where can I hire a Showband band in Scotland?

Showband bands in Scotland can be hired from the UK's leading live music agency, Tailored Entertainment. Tailored Entertainment exclusively represents the UK's best Showband bands and on this website you'll find videos, photos, repertoire and links to band websites so you can find all the information you need to hire the perfect live music for you. When hiring Showband bands in Scotland with Tailored Entertainment your booking will be secured by a booking contract between you and the act. Standard payment terms are a deposit to secure the booking (usually around 20% of the total fee) with the balance payable 7 days in advance of the event.

How much do Showband bands cost to hire in Scotland?

For a professional Showband band in Scotland, a base-level starting price is around £1,500. At this price, you’re ensuring that your Showband band is made up of professional musicians with the requisite skill set, equipment, and production to perform at your event. Keep in mind that this is a starting price, and many of the best Showband bands in Scotland are going to cost more than this.

How long do Showband bands perform for at a wedding or party?

Most Showband bands will perform 2 x 60 or 3 x 40 minute live sets as standard. The Tailored Entertainment roster of live bands all provide a bespoke DJ service before and after live sets, so your whole evening of entertainment is covered.

How long do Showband bands take to set up and sound check?

Most of our Scotland Showband bands take up to 90 minutes to be fully set up and sound checked. Small line-ups may be a bit quicker whereas large showbands with a lot of production will take longer. Our expert team will ensure a viable plan is in place ahead of your event so you have nothing to worry about on the day.

Where can I find Showband party bands in Scotland that will also perform a set at my drinks reception?

Most Showband bands on the Tailored Entertainment roster offer afternoon drinks reception add-ons to their standard booking. You’ll find these listed under ‘optional extras’ on the band’s profile. Alternatively, you could book one of our dedicated drinks reception entertainment options in Scotland, we represent saxophonists, pianists, string quartets and singers.

Will your Showband bands perform a special request or first dance?

Yes, all of our Showband bands in Scotland are happy to perform a special request - which is often the first dance or song of the evening. We'll prompt you for this information well in advance of your event to give the act plenty of time to plan and rehearse the performance.

Do your Showband bands provide all their own equipment?

Yes, all of our Showband bands performing in Scotland come fully self-contained with premium audio and lighting equipment. Our bands also provide a DJ service as standard so everything for your event is taken care of in just one booking.

Can I see a Showband band live in Scotland before I book?

This is a fairly common question and unfortunately the answer is often no. Our Showband bands are professional event bands and bookings tend to be high-end weddings, parties and corporate functions in Scotland that we are unable to invite guests to. Our bands have excellent video footage on their profiles which provide an accurate insight to their live show and you'll also find live video clips on social media. We'd recommend reading through testimonials too to see what previous clients say about their experience.
