What is a tribute act?

A tribute act is a professional singer who performs the songs of a famous artist, often with a similar look and sound. It is a guaranteed singalong.

A tribute is always presented as a tribute. It is never the real artist, and we make that clear in every listing and quote.

Where it works best

Charity nights
A big draw for ticket sales.
Corporate parties
A crowd-pleaser after dinner.
Festivals
Stage-ready sets.
Christmas parties
A singalong headline act.
Weddings
A surprise for the evening guests.
Birthdays
The favourite artist of the birthday guest.

2

Check the tech
Most tribute singers need a PA or your venue's system. We confirm it.

Frequently asked questions

Do venues around Retford have rules for performers?

Many hotels and country houses have rules on ceiling rigging, fire, access times and changing space. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check everything before we confirm.

How much do tribute acts cost in Retford?

There is no fixed price. Every event is different. Prices depend on the acts, the number of performers, timings, travel and location, so we quote each booking individually. Travel is part of the quote, and Retford is 23 miles east of Sheffield. Send us your date and venue for free, no-obligation options.

Which postcodes around Retford do you cover?

All of DN22, including Bassetlaw, Ranskill and North Leverton with Habblesthorpe, plus the rest of Nottinghamshire and nearby Bawtry, Worksop, New Ollerton and Gainsborough.

Which tribute acts can we book?

Tell us the artist you have in mind and we will tell you what is available for your date.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can. Friday and Saturday dates in December and the summer months go first, often months ahead. Short notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.

Can the performers match our theme or brand colours?

Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.

Do you work with our venue and event team?

Yes. We agree access, changing space, timings and any venue rules before the day, and work to your run of show.

Still have questions?

Tell us about your event and we'll come back with options.
