Male Tribute Acts in Durham

Book a male tribute band in Durham

A male tribute act in Durham is one of the easiest ways to give a party a theme and a proper centrepiece. Hotels and function rooms around Durham and Darlington, social clubs near Bishop Auckland and marquees at home across Durham all make good settings for birthdays, anniversaries, reunions and company celebrations.

A male tribute is built around one unmistakable voice. A good one gets the look, the moves and the between-song banter right as well as the songs, so it feels like a proper show rather than a covers set. Our male tribute acts cover Elvis, Michael Bublé, Frank Sinatra, Rod Stewart, Robbie Williams, Elton John and Freddie Mercury, 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 Essential Elvis, Supreme Buble, The Ultimate Buble, The Essential Sinatra, The Definitive Rod Stewart, The Essential Robbie, Classic Queen and He Will Rock You.

Since 1999 Hireaband has matched acts to parties across the UK, and everyone listed here performs in Durham. Most arrive with their own PA and lights and look after set-up and clear-down, so you can enjoy the night. Check your date with the instant quote for pricing and a clear list of what's included.

Looking for a venue as well? Popular places for parties in Durham include South Causey Inn, Hardwick Hall Hotel and Beamish Hall Hotel, each with its own local venue page below. Our acts perform right across Durham, from Durham to Darlington, and we can advise on what works best in the room you have booked.

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

Space and budget matter more than guest numbers. A solo tribute artist singing to high-quality backing tracks fits comfortably into a function room, a pub or a marquee at home, and is the most affordable way to put on a show. A duo or a full live tribute band adds live musicianship and more volume for a bigger room or a bigger crowd. If you tell us the space — hotel room, club function suite, marquee at home — we can usually say what has worked there before.

Most bookings fall between £500 and £2,000. Solo tributes performing to backing tracks sit towards the lower end and full live tribute bands towards the upper end, with the day and the time of year making up the rest of the difference — a weekday date can cost less than a Saturday in summer or December. Your quote sets out exactly what's included, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.

Before you book, watch and listen. Every act here has its own page with genuine video and audio of their performance, a complete set list and written reviews from previous clients, so you can compare how each tribute looks and sounds and choose the one that suits your guests.

Use the instant quote button on this page and enter your date and venue to see pricing and availability straight away. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day itself. Every booking comes with a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the night if anything needs sorting quickly.

FAQs

Solo tributes to singers such as Michael Bublé, Elvis, Rod Stewart, Robbie Williams and Frank Sinatra, and full tribute bands to acts such as Queen and Take That.

Many can — crooner tributes such as Sinatra and Bublé often sing a laid-back set over dinner before moving into party songs later.

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.

“A really excellent experience from start to finish. We'd originally booked WestZone for pre-Covid, so had a long wait for the evening. The reception from our audience was extremely positive. Great 4-piece harmonies and lots of tunes everyone knew. We're already looking at booking them again through Hireaband.”

“What an absolute class act you guys are - I may be slightly biased as it is 'my era' and I booked you but you were absolutely amazing. I actually got quite emotional stood in the middle singing along! On a booking level, you were a pleasure to deal with. All the punters I spoke to loved it and you are more than welcome back in Penistone again.The quality of the performance was second to none and soon had 600 paying customers singing along to Britpop classics and helped us make loads for our local charities.”

“Our first Valentines dinner was an outstanding success. I would like to thank Ritchie for making our evening so enjoyable. Ritchie was amazing, everyone thought he was wonderful. He made the evening very special and romantic for all of us. He seems to know the words to every song ever made. He really is a very talented and mesmerising man. He had the audience in the palm of his hand. We will definitely be repeating this again next year. Thanks for all your support once again.”

“I had the pleasure of working with the incredible The Ultimate Bublé on the BBC One show All Together Now. I was floored on a daily basis by how brilliant he was at singing Bublé songs with the same charismatic charm, beautiful tone and classic voice! He's an amazing guy who deserves it all!”

(5)

“Saw The Ultimate Bublé last night in Tettenhall. Only went out for a family meal to celebrate my wife Karen's birthday, had a great night, great music, great food and great company! Adam, I'm the one who exhausted myself with my finger on head "unique" dance routines!”

(5)

“Just a short email to thank you for last night. The feedback we've had today has been fantastic. Ritchie's performance was stunning again. I will be back in touch to re-book sometime once I know what dates are available to me and thanks again.”
