Introducing our most popular party band working exclusively with Alive Network!

What Do They Do?
Hipster are the ideal choice for any event. They regularly entertain audiences at weddings, corporate events, and private parties - and now specialise in large corporate awards dinners proving they are just as comfortable performing energetic shows at large scale formal events as they are at bringing the house down at fun-packed parties.

What Have They Done Before?
Hipster have performed at many prestigious venues over the years including: The Grosvenor Hotel, The Savoy Hotel, The Natural History Museum, Manchester Town Hall, The Royal Courts of Justice, Eltham Palace, Kensington Roof Gardens, Euro Disney, Kew Gardens, Bath Assembly Rooms, Manchester Art Gallery, The Grand Hotel Brighton plus numerous Awards ceremonies including IVCA, HFMA, Wella, Trend Vision Awards and NABS. The last 6 years have seen the boys working along side numerous celebrities including T4 presenter Steve Jones, impressionist Rory Bremner, comedian Lenny Henry, legendary record producer Nick Lowe and BBC Radio 2's Jeremey Vine amongst others.

Their current corporate clients include Channel 5, Marks and Spencer, Hewlett Packard, Zafer Associates, Oxford University Press, NSPCC, Royal Bank of Scotland, Barclays and Natwest - to name a few!!

Internationally, Hipster have performed in Singapore, Dubai, Potugal, Spain, France and Austria.

 

What Sort of Music Do They Play?
Their extensive and varied setlist caters for all ages and musical tastes including classic songs by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, The Killers, Arctic Monkeys, Kings of Leon plus many, many more! You can also choose from a selection of popular first dance songs and be absolutely sure that guests of all ages - from grunge kids to gran's - will be up dancing and singing all night!

Please Note: Due to their popularity, Hipster are busy throughout the year, and therefore cannot always fulfill requests for learning specific songs. Please refer to their extensive setlist.

 

What will the band look like?
The band can tailor their look to suit your needs on the night. For award ceremonies, they can dress formally in black clothes, and for private parties and less formal events they can dress more casually if you prefer. Just specify to your agent what your requirements are and Hipster will have a rummage through their wardrobes!

 

Your Event
Featuring musicians of the highest standard, all with several years notable previous experience within the music industry, Hipster are a party band like no other. Each member is extremely gifted in his own right, and the band has invested heavily in the highest quality instruments and sound equipment. Having Hipster at your event is the closest thing you'll get to having any classic band such as The Beatles or Stone Roses play a personal live performance just for you!

Hipster's show can be formatted in several ways; 2 x 45 minute sets, 2 x 60 minute sets or 3 x 40 minute sets.

In addition, the band can also provide a set of acoustic songs, specifically tailored for drinks receptions or during dinner (please see booking options). Hipster are the only band you need for an all-day event, able to provide music for every scenario, be it a low key acoustic set, or a full on rock'n' roll spectacular!

Hipster are incredibly flexible with all aspects of their show. No gig is too big or too far away. They are very adaptable to a range of room types and always adjust volume levels to suit your requirements.

Hipster's set is lively, exciting, dynamic and full of enthusiasm, and is regularly updated to include current songs. In particular, the band have spent a great deal of time and effort tailoring shows to suit weddings and private parties, of which they play at least 100 per year, as well as many corporate and media award ceremonies.

 

And for when the band are not playing...
There is the option of music between sets, or a DJ package. Like many modern DJs, Hipster use a laptop computer containing a huge amount of popular songs. These songs are mixed as they would be using CD decks, and a band member will control the laptop in between live performances, make basic announcements, and take requests from guests. 

The band's lights and awesome PA system double-up for use during DJ sets. If you have any specific requests for music that you would like the DJ to include, please forward any lists to us well in advance, so the band can obtain as many of your preferred tracks as possible, should any be missing from their collection. As we are sure you can appreciate, the service offered 'in house' by the band is significantly less than the cost of a separate DJ.


Superior Equipment
The band's show uses a 5000 watt full range high definition KV2 Audio PA system, and an Allen and Heath mixing console with professional outboard effects at all performances, plus a complete lighting show including 8 x par 56 LED cans with built-in sound-to-light controllers, 4 x multi-coloured moving heads with a 360 degree rotation, so you have full stage lighting as well as disco lighting for your dance floor.

Hipster use only the very best instruments, amplifiers and microphones, including Fender, Gibson, Gretsch and Music Man Guitars, Fender, Hayden and Ashdown amps, Shure and Rode Microphones and Pearl and DW drums and percussion.

They also have a recently purchased a brand new Mercedes Sprinter van for transporting themselves and all their equipment, ensuring punctuality,reliability and a truly professional appearance.

Incredible! Hipster created the perfect atmosphere for our wedding

5 stars - Hipster are Highly Recommended
booked Hipster for their Wedding in Cheshire

“Hipster were absolutely amazing, so many of our guests commented that they couldn’t believe how talented they were. Joe was great and listened to all our requests, even when we changed our first dance song a few days before the wedding! The whole band were so lovely and chatted to our guests in between sets. They really were incredible and we didn’t want the night to end!”


Absolutely fantastic! Best wedding band ive ever seen!

5 stars - Hipster are Highly Recommended
booked Hipster for their Wedding in Nottinghamshire

“We had Hipster at our wedding on 4th October. On the lead up to the day when everything is going crazy, Joe call me a quick call just to go over a few things. He kept it really simple and put our mind at rest that everything would be sorted on the day. As you can see Hipster have a great range of songs, they played three sets for us which worked brilliantly with other things planned (fireworks etc.). Each track they played was excellent! Really well oiled band who you can tell just loved playing together. The dance floor was never empty, and everyone has told us how much they enjoyed the band. By far the best wedding band ive seen. Make sure you book these guys, they are 100% worth it and were so easy to arrange things with. I can not thank Hipster enough, absolutely brilliant. Get these guys booked!!!”


Soooooooooooooooooooo much fun!

5 stars - Hipster are Highly Recommended
booked Hipster for their Wedding in Derbyshire

“So pleased we booked Hipster as our wedding band. They were so friendly and accommodating before and during the wedding. They took the time to find out the kind of music we liked to make the live and DJ set really personal. They are amazing musicians and who really got the crowd going. I’ve had several messages from friends asking for their details to book them for their own events. Could not recommend them enough. They really made the day.”


Cannot recommend Hipster highly enough!

5 stars - Hipster are Highly Recommended
booked Hipster for their Wedding in Gloucestershire

“Hipster (plus brass) played our wedding for around 120 people, and my wife and I could not recommend them more highly. Multiple guests have said they were the best band they've ever seen at a wedding, and the dancefloor was never less than two thirds full! They were super-accommodating (including allowing our guests to dance during their soundchecks, and playing additional length songs), friendly and open in the build-up to the event with our requests, and couldn't have done more for us. The song choices throughout were perfect all through their sets, matched to the atmosphere and dancefloor, and they really did make our day extra special and ended our day on such a high note.”


We wish we could put 10 stars!!

5 stars - Hipster are Highly Recommended
booked Hipster for their Wedding in Cheshire

“Well, where do I even begin? The band were absolutely incredible! Joe got in touch before the wedding to make any arrangements and discuss all the finer details with myself and my hubby. They were so accommodating with all our requests. Once they arrived at the venue, they set up swiftly, introduced themselves and were just great guys. Their music is unreal! They had the dance floor full all night and played their socks off! Highlight of the night was Hotel California as their finishing song - just WOW!!! Steve's guitar solo was just something else. We are eternally grateful for how awesome they were and how special they made our day. Everyone has been raving about the music. We would recommend to any couple getting married or for any event in general! Big love to you all - Mr & Mrs Sheridan xx”
