Introducing The Dollars… A 4-piece all male band based in the Nottinghamshire area. What Have They Done Before? Since forming in 2007, highly skilled and versatile musicians The Dollars, have gained extensive experience when it comes to performing on stage. Specialising in weddings, private parties and corporate events, The Dollars are the perfect choice for any event.
Previous clients include Barclaycard, Best Western Hotels, MoneySupermarket.com, British Army, RAF, Durham University, Hampton Court Palace, Kenilworth Castle, Kettering Conference Centre, Kingswood Golf & Country Club, Marriott Hotels, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Riply Castle plus many more weddings and private functions.
"Firstly if you're thinking of booking this band DO IT NOW- if you wait until you've read this someone else may get in before you!
Unanimous feeling is that The Dollars were the high point of the day. Generally sensible and upstanding people were seen to be dancing wildly on the floor and harassing the band for an encore- I think The Dollars would have been requested to play through to morning light had the venue not been residential!" – Cormac Farrell
What Sort Of Music They Play? Their shows are lively, exciting and varied to suit every guest. Their set list is suitable for all tastes; anything from classic artists like The Beatles, The Kinks and Rolling Stones right up to modern bands Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys and The Killers …plus many more (see set list).
"I will try and tell you how good the Dollars we’re on our special day but it won’t be easy to put into words!!!! My guest book comments include how fantastic the day, party and band were, the quality of the band are the first thing most people say to me when recollecting the day/evening!!" - Matt Goodchild
What Will The Band Look Like? The Dollars always dress appropriately for the occasion. For weddings and corporate events they can dress formally, suited and booted, and for less formal events The Dollars can dress more casually if you prefer. Just specify your needs to your booking agent.
"WOW! The amount of guests who came up to us during the evening asking about you just showed how much everyone loved your music. I even missed speaking to some guests because my feet just wouldn't let me leave the dance floor!" - A very happy, Mr & Mrs Price
Your Event? The Dollars live sets can be performed as 2 x 45 minutes, 2 x 60 minutes or 3 x 40 minutes. The band will be flexible on the night to adapt to your event.
The band can also provide music between sets so there is no break once the party has started. If you’d prefer, The Dollars can provide a DJ service which includes:
* Manned laptop with large selection of popular songs * DJ software that allows seamless track play * Requests taken * Basic announcements made over the mic
The Dollars are a 4 piece band and preferably need a stage space of 5 x 4 metres but will accommodate whatever space is available. They are also more than happy to adjust volume levels to suit your venues requirements.
Superior Equipment The Dollars always bring a top spec, top sounding 3.5k RCF PA system along to every show, suitable for up to 300-400 guests. They also have their own self contained lighting system of; 8 x LED par cans to light the stage and 4 x 360° multi-coloured moving heads to cover the dance floor. Both lighting systems operate sound-to-light and provide full built in dynamic shows for an enhanced visual experience.
In addition to this, other pro equipment they use includes Shure and Sennheiser vocal/instrument mics, wireless in-ear monitors for each band member (for minimal stage noise), Gibson, Fender, PRS, Warrick and Taylor guitars, a Pearl Masters drum kit, Marshall and Ashdown valve amplification. Ensuring sound quality is second to none, everything is connected to a 16 Channel Allen & Heath Mixing desk for a crisp, high quality and powerful sound with plenty of control. Sound quality is further enhanced by running vocals and instruments through Drawmer compressors/noise gates and a Yamaha 32 band EQ. The band have invested heavily to ensure you get the best possible tone at your event.
The Sessions Acoustic Duo The Sessions Acoustic Duo (available independently here) can perform a laid back acoustic set to create a chilled atmosphere, perfect for drinks receptions or during dinner.
The Sessions are a popular acoustic duo in their own right. When booked independently, prices start from £527 however, book The Sessions alongside The Dollars for a greatly reduced price of £321.

"The Dollars are an amazing, talented group of young men. From the moment I chatted with Matt, I felt safe and reassured that they would deliver a professional and exceptional performance and they didn't let me down.
The guests at the ball thought they were incredible - not one negative comment made all night. I loved The Dollars so much that I have booked them for the next two years!"

"I will try and tell you how good the Dollars we’re on our special day but it won’t be easy to put into words!!!!
Communication from the outset was extremely good and the band even managed to practise our first dance song and send us a recording to allow us to make a decision on whether they would sing our first dance or we would use the DJ, I was at first concerned as our first dance song was a John Legend effort and was particularly difficult to duplicate, especially as the Dollars seem to suit rock type songs when looking at their repertoire. However, their spin on the JL song was fantastic and it was one of our highlights of the day!!!
They arrived well before time and followed our setup instructions to the tee, they we’re extremely professional and courteous and looked fantastic!!
The Dollars played three sets for us and each set resulted in a party atmosphere with a packed dance floor. Their sound was by far in excess of anything I could of imagined, their take on many pop songs was purely brilliant and entertained both young and old.
I’ve had nothing but praise from so many guests, perhaps not sounding like too much of a compliment but a number of my friends commented that they would be happy to pay money to watch them in concert. Again not something you may want to advertise but a number of the female guests wanted to become their “Groupies”!!!!
My guest book comments include how fantastic the day, party and band were, the quality of the band are the first thing most people say to me when recollecting the day/evening!!
I can’t think of any improvements to the service, song choice and performance we’re fantastic and the sound from their equipment was unreal!!
I found Alive Network via Google and have since recommended to a number of friends.
Alive Network web was very good although I prefer the personal touch and Clare helped highlight bands available for my date. No concerns with Alive Network, very professional.

"These guys are AMAZING!! Apart from getting married they were the high light of my day!!
They were not just professional but very polite, they looked the part and definitely sounded the part!!! My guests absolutely loved my evening reception and this was down to these guys!
So many guests said it was the best evening reception they had been to. The dance floor was never empty... if anything, there wasn’t enough room because everyone wanted to dance!
They did over and above what we expected. I highly recommend The Dollars and cant stress enough how fabulous they were.
You made our first dance very special and we are so grateful you took the time out and the learnt the song we wanted which sounded fantastic!!!!
We wish you all the luck for the future, you all deserve it!!
Thank you for being apart of our special day. I really really hope we meet again!
All the best Sarah and Neil x

"Just wanted to say a massive thank you for the brilliant music on Saturday night.
I had a great party, and so many people have asked for your contact details and said how much they enjoyed the music :o)
I managed to dance all night on one gin and tonic, so not only had a great night but felt great the next day too!!!!!! A testament to the quality music I think..... And choosing the playlist means that you love every song, so don't want to miss out by having a break...
Best of luck with continuing to perform great music :o)"

"The Dollars were amazing and made our Wedding Party go with a swing. Matt is very helpful and contacted us to discuss exactly what we wanted. They played a great selection of songs and even a few special requests from our guests over and above what we had paid for.
