FAQs to Hire Acoustic Unplugged Bands

What is an Acoustic or Unplugged Band? Acoustic Bands or Unplugged Bands as they are known were made famous in the 1990s by artistes like Rod Stewart. Acoustic instruments from the band were used, they mainly removed the electric guitars and replaced them with acoustic only guitars, but all other instruments remained the same. Electric keyboards were removed as well, with the exception of Hammond organs still in place. As the years past, the more established artistes had a full orchestra to back them up and still called them unplugged sessions.
Will an Acoustic Unplugged Band be Loud Enough? Most Acoustic Bands are amplified with electric amps and speakers but without electric instruments, this still ensures the volume can be turned up or down for the amplified acoustic instruments.
What if the Venue does not allow amplification? Don't use the venue, get them to return the deposit back. It is not worth spending your money, while all you can hear on your special day are the people who have drunk the most, thus overpowering the band who are struggling to play loud enough without amplification.
I have no choice, I have booked a Venue that does not allow amplification and I am stuck with this venue?In this scenario, we suggest using an acoustic band which is as large as space and budget would allow to try and get them to be loud enough. Another option would be to use a roaming acoustic band. The truth is, the party is never going to be able to go up a gear without electric amplification and there wont be much real dancing, only novelty dancing by your drunk uncle Tom !
What is an ideal size for an acoustic band? This really depends on the band itself and the mood you are going for, bands are generally from a 2 piece to 5 piece and prices start at £550.00. The smaller the band, the more background their presence will be.
