Acoustic Bands

 

Acoustic bands are an ideal choice for a vast array of events from intimate garden parties, wedding receptions, and larger corporate events.

What is an Acoustic band?

An acoustic band can vary in size but acoustic duos are very popular and mainly consist of a vocalist and an acoustic guitar.

An acoustic trio could be the same as a duo plus a Cajon. (Is a box-like instrument for percussion)

There can be larger acoustic bands 4 and 5 piece such as Mumford style folk bands would include acoustic guitars and upright bass and are ideal for festival style weddings.

Also, you could choose roaming bands these are usually acoustic bands mingling with guests at outdoor events and perform unamplified, so no need for set up times. A Mexican mariachi band would be an example of this style of a band which would consist of 2 x acoustic guitars and a trumpet.

 

Do they need amplification?

 

Acoustic bands are ideal for venues that have sound limiters in place and bands can only perform at a certain level in some cases with no amplification at all. Always check your venue for this before booking an event.

How much space do they need?

For an acoustic duo the rule of thumb is generally 3x2 meters and 4x3m for a four-piece band.

How much do they cost?

Prices do vary on each type of event but for an acoustic duo they would start from around £450 and four and five-piece Mumford style bands around £1500.

Wrapping it up

These are just a few possibilities for an acoustic band. If you are looking for something a little more intimate you can always hire a solo acoustic singer which is perfect for restaurant drinks receptions.
