Cost of live entertainment

I'm looking at live entertainment options for a private party so am open to ideas.
Has any booked a singer or band recently and can recommend? I would really like a rough idea of how much they charge, if possible.

Hi,
Good question. I would say it depends on what you are looking for. Musically, from what I see here, there is a wide option, 4 piece bands down to 1 person with guitar. If it's a youngish audience, then I'd ask if they do 80's 90's and so on. and same goes for if they're more into 60's 70's .. although this music tends to go down well in most parties.
I know a few of the guys so can ask or pass on your details if you wish.
Regards
Ian
Ps If you're really stuck, I'm digging out my Keyboard out of the flight case as I hear there are now only a few local Brits doing live music.

Can I recommend to you jerry lee, or Lee Hickens, he DJ'd and sang at my daughter's wedding, and he was absolutely splendid - I've got no qualms about recommending him, he is excellent. If you'd like to see more recommendations check out the Weddings section, I posted on there last year and many more people added recommendations for him. He's a brilliant singer. For your information his email address is:
janleehickens@gmail.com
Give him a call, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
regards

Is it true or just a rumour that "Katy B" pay's you to sing at your function?

I hope that last comment was tongue-in-cheek. Lovely lady doesn't deserve that!

Thanks very much Lee - their wedding is still being spoken about at Deks, it was a fantastic day, really more than we hoped for - a great time was had by all - and I haven't danced so much in years, in fact I don't think I sat down the whole time, pity they can't celebrate their first anniversary there!!!
