Shotgun

Everybody raved about how good Shotgun were. They gave us exactly the kind of set we wanted and people were dancing from start to finish. They were very professional and hassle free throughout our day. Thank you so much!

Shotgun

My husband and I hired Shotgun for our wedding in November 2021 They performed a live version of our first dance for us, which was beautiful and from then on did a fabulous job of getting our guests dancing. We requested that they perform three sets instead of two which they were happy to do. They sound great, perform well and really did make our evening! We were so thrilled and can’t recommend them more!

Shotgun

Thank you so so much for your incredible set on Saturday night, you and your Band were amazing and you absolutely made mine and Gemma’s day. apologies for hi-jacking your microphones and singing as bad as we did. We will be recommending you to everyone we know ....... we sincerely cannot thank you enough

Shotgun

Shotgun absolutely MADE our wedding reception. They were polite, professional, and excellent musicians. Their uniquely amazing repertoire was perfect for both of our tastes, and they got members of my family on the dance floor that we didn't expect! Their tireless effort of excellent renditions of fun songs made the reception for us. Look no further for an events band- they are an absolute bargain at twice the price. You will not forget the night they create for you. Our memories are forever. Thank you Shotgun! We look forward to seeing you again somewhere, somehow!

Shotgun

Shotgun were absolutely fantastic at my 40th birthday party! They were really professional and friendly in their approach and they interacted well with my guests getting everybody in the party spirit. The playlist was brilliant, with a really good mix of modern and more classic songs, all great to dance to! If you are looking for a fantastic value for money band then I would absolutely recommend Shotgun. They made my night so special and my guests all commented on how amazing they were!

Shotgun

We booked Shotgun for our wedding, and they were just brilliant, such a great group of lads, really laid back and professional. Any requests they were happy to accommodate and had everyone up dancing all night. Everyone commented on how amazing they were and they had the dance floor full all night. I would definitely recommend Shotgun and would certainly book them again for any future events. Fantastic band!

Shotgun

They came and set up, started and carried out their set list and DJing on time, well presented and very professionally! We had a small wedding as planned and they played like the room was packed with people on the dance floor or when it was empty and everyone was sitting or outside! We were getting told how amazing the band had been by everyone and I really enjoyed their music! Chatted to the 3 of them in between sets and they engaged so well with everyone! Everyone wanted the name of them after and they were honestly fantastic. They learnt our first dance song specially and made it their own which sounded great. Please hire them! You won't regret it!

Shotgun

They were friendly, punctual and EVERYONE liked their blend of music. I'm pretty sure they did an encore/requests as well, everyone was having such a good time! Thanks for making our special day even better. We've set the bar high for everyone else that's getting married. Cheers

Shotgun

Big thank you for playing at our wedding! They played a great set which our guests really enjoyed and they were super nice and organised beforehand. Would definitely recommend them

Shotgun

What fun!! …you guys were awesome and everyone had an absolute blast!

Shotgun

They were fantastic. Skilled musicians and the dance floor was always full. Played songs that all were happy with. Went over and above to make our day as special as possible. Were very interactive with the audience. Everyone we have spoke to could not get over how good they were. We cannot compliment them highly enough

Shotgun

I cannot express how amazing Shotgun were for our wedding. They learnt and performed our first dance song brilliantly and had everybody dancing from straight after the first dance till the end of the night. Their playlist was great and we really didn't want them to finish at the end of the night. I wouldn't hesitate to book them again and lots of guests commented about how good they were. Book them, you will not be disappointed

Shotgun

Loved the song selection and also let one of my guests on the mic. The band had a great rapport with the crowd and we would definitely book the team again!

Shotgun

They were fantastic – good music played well by great people!! I have heard no negative comments at all – they were amazing. Fantastic playlist, and very happy to let our friends ‘join in (!)’ and use the microphone as they fancied. Many have asked where they are from and how to book them. Overall a great experience!

Shotgun

The band were fantastic. The music choices were perfect and we have to thank them for adjusting their timings to suit our overrun. Everybody commented as to how good they were and said they added a lot to the day. Please pass on our thanks to the band and we wish them every success for the future!

Shotgun

They were on time, well prepared, contacted and agreed arrangements as promised. Made what was a really good day a fantastic one, dance floor jammed pack till the end. Spot on

Shotgun

Shotgun are fantastic. They made the wedding as they are very talented musicians and played a range of songs that got everybody up dancing. They were very professional and took all my requests on board. I cannot recommend them enough and have already recommended them to other people.

Shotgun

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding!! Shotgun were absolutely amazing, getting all our guests up and dancing throughout the night, having fun. Even since the wedding, catching up with our friends and family, so many people have commented on the evening entertainment, and how great the band were. We couldn't have asked for more! You were brilliant!! Even learning a song especially!! AMAZING!! We will definitely be recommending Shotgun to anyone we know in need of a band :) thank you again

Shotgun

Thankyou so much for playing at our wedding. The boys were absolutely amazing. The moment they started playing they Had guests up on their feet, and we all danced the night away. We have had so many friends and family commenting on how good the music was and they even saw people dancing that have never danced in their lives. All three lads were So friendly and professional. We will definitely hire them again. Thanks so much for making our day so memorable

Shotgun

Shotgun were fantastic! They were prompt, polite, they went down a storm with our guests with a brilliant selection of music! We are trying to think of a reason to have another party so we can invite them back!

FAQs

How far in advance should we book?

As soon as you know your date, really. Popular dates (weekends, especially in summer) can book up 12+ months ahead, but we've also pulled off cracking gigs with just a few weeks' notice if we're free. The earlier you lock it in, the more choice you'll have.

How much do you charge?

You can use the instant quote button on this page to get a price straight away — your fee will appear on screen, and you'll also get a follow-up email confirming it. If we're available and you're happy with the price, get back in touch with the Hireaband team to secure the date. It's very much first come, first served, so if we're available, don't hesitate.

What's your payment and cancellation policy?

Hireaband will ask for a reservation fee to secure your date, with the remaining balance due before the event (your booking confirmation will have exact dates and amounts). If you need to cancel or postpone, get in touch as early as possible — the closer to the date, the harder it is for Hireaband to fill the slot, so the cancellation terms reflect that. Full details are in your booking agreement, but the Hireaband team are always happy to talk through the specifics.

What if any timings change after booking you?

No problem at all. We know that timings and details aren't always set in stone at the booking stage, and plans have a habit of evolving as your big day gets closer. We're happy to be flexible around changes to your schedule, and if you decide further down the line that you'd like to add on any extra services, just get in touch with the Hireaband team and they'll sort it out for you.

What should we expect if we've never booked a live band before?

Totally understandable if this all feels a bit new! Booking a band is a big part of your day, so we're here to make it as straightforward as possible. We've performed at countless weddings and events, and the Hireaband team will guide you through every step, from your initial enquiry right through to the big day itself. If you're ever unsure about anything, just ask — that's what we're here for.

Can we see you perform live before booking?

We don't always have public gigs to invite you to (weddings tend to be private!), but we're always happy to jump on a call and talk you through what to expect. A public performance will often be posted on this page too, so it's worth checking back — and if we do have one coming up, we'll gladly send details your way.

How much contact will we have with the band before the wedding?

Hireaband will put you in direct touch with us around 3 months before your date, so you can go through all the finer details together — song choices, timings, any special requests and so on. In the meantime, the Hireaband team are always on hand to answer any questions you have, so you're never left waiting.

How many songs will the band learn especially for me?

We're happy to learn your first dance or a special request. Other songs depend on the time frame given and what the songs are. We're always keen to learn new things, so do let us know and we'll try to accommodate as best we can for you.

Can we choose our own setlist?

Yes, within reason. We have a core set of crowd-pleasers that we know works brilliantly, and we're experts at reading a room and picking the right songs on the night to keep everyone dancing. We're also always happy to tweak the setlist based on your taste — send us a few "must plays" and a few "please avoids" and we'll build the night around them. Just bear in mind that learning brand new songs from scratch (aside from your first dance) depends on notice — see above!

Will you be able to do my first dance?

Given enough notice, yes. It takes a while for us to rehearse a song to the high standards that we set ourselves. If you can give us at least 8 weeks' notice, that should be fine. The song also has to be suitable for the band. If we can't do it justice, then we can put it on an iPod and go seamlessly into our set at the end of it.

How much space does the band need?

This will vary depending on the size of the band and the setup on the night, but we've performed at a huge variety of venues and can comfortably fit into most spaces that have hosted a live band before. If your venue has anything a little unusual about it, we can usually find a way to make it work, so just get in touch if you're not sure and we'll be happy to advise.

What makes Shotgun different from other party bands?

Shotgun came together performing at The Piano Works Bar, one of London's most in-demand live music venues, where they learnt to keep a dance floor packed and take requests all night long. That residency-honed experience, combined with a huge 270+ song set list covering everything from classic hits to current chart-toppers, makes them one of the most versatile and in-demand party bands around.

How long do you take to set up?

We ask for around an hour to set up and check everything is working, but if it needs to be shorter, just let us know and we'll always accommodate as best we can.

How far will you travel?

We regularly perform all over the country, so distance really is no object, but we will require an additional fee for travel and may need bed and breakfast arranged for us. Any price you receive already includes travel costs, so there won't be any surprise extras on top.

Will we need to feed you?

It depends on timings, but generally some hot food would be hugely appreciated. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. Normally a catering company will provide a 'crew meal' as part of their package, or we're happy to have evening food that's already available.

What do you wear?

We tend to be 'smart casual' as in our pictures and video. However, we can be smarter or more casual depending on your event and requirements.

How long do you perform for?

As standard, we provide 2 x 1hr or 3 x 40 minute sets as required on the night, up until midnight. We can play past midnight, but it can incur an additional fee. We are flexible though and will always try to accommodate your requirements. We can also add an additional 1hr set for a small fee!

Do you take breaks, and what happens to the music then?

Yes, we'll take short breaks between sets to grab a drink and catch our breath! During these breaks we'll have background music playing through our own PA system, so there's never a dead moment on the dancefloor. Just let us know if you have a particular playlist or Spotify account you'd like us to use.

Will the band provide a DJ service?

Yes, as standard we provide a playlist DJ service whenever we're not performing — so between sets and after our last set, right up until midnight (or your curfew if earlier). These are tried-and-tested playlists that we've refined over countless events, but you're also welcome to send us your own playlist to play instead. If you'd like a bit more than that, we offer an upgrade to a manned DJ service, where a band member stays on hand throughout to look after the music and take requests on the night.

Can you arrive earlier and finish later?

Our standard on-site time runs from 6pm to midnight, but we're happy to be flexible around your schedule. Whether you need us there earlier for an afternoon slot or performing later into the night, just let us know your requirements and we'll do our best to accommodate — additional fees may apply for extended hours.

Do you offer any optional extras?

Yes! On top of our standard package, we can offer a range of optional extras for an additional fee — things like extra performance sets, a manned DJ service, acoustic sets for your ceremony or drinks reception, and more. Just let us know what you have in mind and we'll see what we can put together for your day.

Do you provide all your own equipment?

Yes, all we need is a clear area in which to set up and a power supply.

Are you insured and PAT tested?

Yes to both. We carry full public liability insurance, and all our equipment is PAT tested annually. Hireaband will send your venue any certification that's required.

Can you work with sound limiters?

Yes. We don't 'love' them, but we absolutely can work within them.

What happens if one of the band is ill on the day of my event?

We have a network of fellow musicians that we can call on to stand in on the rare occasion one of the band is ill. On top of that, Hireaband is the UK's biggest entertainment agency and has access to dozens of wedding bands in your area even at the very last minute. However, we've never missed a gig yet.
