Not if you book iPop showband!

We totally understand concerns about booking a band you’ve not seen before. However, all of the photos, demos and videos we create for you are a great representation of what you get. Check out our Reviews page to read testimonials from other happy clients. In most circumstances, it is not possible to see the band live as we perform at private functions. Due to the fact they are private, we cannot obtain access and would hate to intrude on anyone’s special day or big event. Bands who regularly play publicly at pubs etc are probably not the type you would hire for an important private party.

On the very rare occasion that we might be doing a public show, we cannot guarantee that we will still be available for your event by the time you get to see us. We do get booked very quickly so you are much safer basing your decision to hire us on the strength of videos, demos, playlists, biography and references from other customers. We are passionate about making our promo material as true to life as possible, so what you see is what you get.

We do require a deposit to secure the date. The deposit must be paid within 7 days of agreeing on the booking. The deposit is non-refundable.

If the date needs to be changed due to COVID 19 we will transfer the deposit to an alternative date for you.

Cancellation by the client or the artist is not allowed once the booking is agreed verbally or electronically by both parties, except where Force Majeure applies. Where Force Majeure does not apply, a cancellation fee must be paid by the client. Details of these fees are in the terms and conditions that we send you before booking.

Yes, absolutely, Aston Band has public liability insurance and all our gear is PAT tested. Documentation to prove this is available on request.

We travel both nationally and internationally to play at events.

Ideally, we need a minimum space of 6m wide x 5m deep, but we have been known to squeeze into smaller areas when absolutely necessary.

The band is fully self contained with state-of-the-art PA system for up to 400 guests, sound desk and lights. The quality of our equipment is another element that allows us to bring you a top-quality sound. We only use the best. We do require that the venue has at least two standard power points situated near the performance space.

If you want to go ‘all out’ we can also offer an upgraded production package including concert style lighting, staging, and full tech crew.

Open air events can be fantastic, and we are happy to play outside. However, we would need a suitable area, such as a covered stage or marquee/gazebo. Potential rainfall and other weather conditions need to be taken into account. We will require access to at least two standard power points.

Aston Band has a team of incredible ‘stand in’ musicians and vocalists who are all trusted, professional, rehearsed and ready to go. They are all very carefully selected to make sure they are one of us…! We would never compromise quality. The show must go on!

Yes. However an extra fee will be applicable.

With our standard equipment we like to allow at least 1 hour for the ‘get in’, PA set up and sound check. We will always run through a few numbers to fully balance the sound to the venue prior to each performance. Therefore, it is important that you account for this in your schedule. We will need to make some noise, albeit it of the musical kind!

If you upgrade the production to include staging and extra lighting we would need to allow a minimum of 2 hours.

Yes, we cover the whole evening’s entertainment for you. Included in all our quotes is our recorded ‘DJ’ playlists. This is party music played via DJ software, through our state of the art PA system. We put this on for you before we play, during the interval and when we finish up until midnight. We have music of all styles. If you would prefer to provide your own party playlist, just put it on an iPod/ipad/phone and we can plug it into our system.

We can also offer a band member DJ option or can provide a pro DJ for an extra charge.
