Girl Bands in Newcastle upon Tyne

Book a girl band tribute in Newcastle upon Tyne

From function rooms at hotels around Newcastle and Gateshead to golf and social clubs near Gateshead, and marquees going up in back gardens across Newcastle upon Tyne, a girl band tribute in Newcastle upon Tyne can turn a party into a proper show. Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, themed nights and company celebrations all suit a girl band tribute — and the act has to work just as well in a village hall as it does in a hotel ballroom.

Girl band tributes bring the harmonies, the outfits and the girl-power attitude, which makes them a natural fit for birthdays, hen parties and any night where the dance floor wants a singalong. Our girl band tributes cover the Spice Girls, ABBA, the Supremes and the Motown girl groups, and vintage close-harmony trios, from solo performers singing to backing tracks through to full live bands, most performing in costume as part of the show. Acts on our books include The Ultimate Spice Girls & Girl Power Party, Absolute ABBA Tribute, Sirens Of Soul, The Essential Soul Sisters, The Dotty Belles, The Angelettes and 90's Baby Show.

We've been booking live entertainment since 1999, and every act on this page covers Newcastle upon Tyne. Most bring their own sound and lighting and handle the set-up and pack-down themselves. The instant quote button shows the price, availability and exactly what's included for your date.

Newcastle upon Tyne has a wide spread of party venues, from Close House and Northside Farm to The Parlour at Blagdon, alongside hotels, golf clubs and village halls around Newcastle and Gateshead. Whatever the setting, we can match the size of the act to the space, from a solo tribute in a function room to a full band in a marquee.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £500 to £2,000, depending on line-up, date and season
  • Your quote shows exactly what's included, from travel to PA and lighting
  • Line-ups from solo tribute artists to full live tribute bands
  • Most parties book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday or December
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

The right line-up depends on the room and the budget more than the guest list. Solo tributes perform to professional backing tracks, need very little floor space and are the most affordable option. A duo or full live band brings real instruments, more volume and more of a concert feel, which suits a larger hall or a bigger crowd. Tell us about the venue and we'll point you towards what fits.

Expect to pay somewhere between £500 and £2,000. The biggest factor is the line-up: a solo tribute to backing tracks costs less than a full live band. The date matters too, with Saturdays in summer and December in highest demand, while weekday and off-season dates often cost less. Your quote lists exactly what's included, with no extras added later.

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, rather than relying on a generic demo, alongside their full song list. Underneath are written reviews from people who have already booked them. Between the videos, the set list and the feedback, you can form a clear picture of the night well before you commit.

Getting a price takes seconds: add your date and venue to the instant quote. After you book, we look after the paperwork, the deposit and every detail with the act, and stay on hand until the night itself. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, plus an emergency line on the night in case anything needs sorting.

FAQs

Tributes to the Spice Girls and ABBA, Motown and soul girl groups, and vintage close-harmony trios in the style of the 40s, 50s and 60s.

Yes — the singalong hits and costumes make a girl band tribute one of the most fun acts for a birthday or celebration.

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. Your quote shows exactly what's included.

Most parties book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday or a December date, when the most popular tributes go quickly.

“The Essential Soul Sisters were everything and more than we expected. Not only wonderfully warm and easy to deal with on the night, their singing and performance was exceptional. I wish we had a longer evening to listen to them more.”

“Just a short email to say many thanks for performing at our Motown Ball @ The Grand Central Station Hotel on Saturday.We have had excellent comments and feedback.”

“From the start of the booking process to the final tune of the night ,the whole thing was great.”

“Well what can I say. Hire a band and absolute Abba well easy to communicate with. Debbie and the others from the Abba tribute were a pleasure to have in our home and they truly made our birthday celebration.
Everyone at our party really enjoyed the group and they got everyone dancing and singing. I cannot recommend Hire a band and Absolute Abba enough. I was concerned about hiring a band from the internet but I really need not worry, everything went smoothly.”

“The Dotty Duo joined us at Armed Forces Day at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. They were a pleasure to work with from initial enquiry to performance. The organisation preceding the event was excellent, and even last minute changes were responded
to helpfully and with grateful flexibility. On the day they gave two performances, looking and sounding wonderful. I would absolutely look to book them again and would happily recommend them, having booked them on a recommendation as is. Thank you!”

“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.”
