Why should I book live music for my cruise ship?

Live music is a great way to add an extra special touch to any cruise ship. There is nothing quite like a live musician for hire to bring an event to life. A great musician responds to the mood to deliver fantastic entertainment.

Back to Top

How long do musicians take to set-up for my cruise ship?

Setting up time is based on the number of musicians involved. A solo acoustic musician can be ready within 30 minutes. A singer or small band can take up to an hour. Whereas a 10-piece function band for hire, with DJ service set up, may take up to 90 minutes or more. The time needed is to position the musicians on stage, prepare the equipment and sound-check.

If this is a special event with particular timings, they may need to arrive earlier. It is best to agree with the musician about the time of arrival. This will allow them to prepare for your event. This should ideally be before your guests or patrons arrive.

Back to Top

I need to cancel or change my musician booking. What should I do?

This is best done direct with live music artist you booked as soon as possible.

You can contact us or the musician for hire you selected for the event. Please ensure you provide the musician with as much notice as possible. They will want to be able to schedule another performance on the cancelled date to avoid any loss of earnings.

When you discuss the terms with your hired musician, please cover the cancellation details. Musicians are human-beings too. They will understand if you have a genuine reason for the cancellation. Let them know when you would like them to perform. They may need time to check calendars before confirming the rearrangement.

Back to Top

What happens if the hired musician cancels the booking?

If a musician cancels, you will need to find a replacement musician. Get in touch with us as soon as possible, as we have many musicians available at the last-minute for you.

Back to Top

Can I see the musician perform live before booking?

All our musicians for hire are actively performing. The musician selected for your booking may be regularly playing live in your local area. If it is a public event, pop along and have a listen. Please bear in mind that they may not be able to grant you access for private events.

Back to Top

Is it possible to pick the songs the musician will perform for my cruise ship?

You are welcome to discuss this with the musician you are booking for your cruise ship. Some musicians for hire will work very hard on a particular series of songs. They would also link many songs together into a medley. These musicians to hire will have a routine to last the entire evening which they have perfected. Then it becomes very difficult for them to change the order of songs to include your choice. But, they may still be able to perform a special song for you. Other local musicians for hire will be happy to play any song you request. Providing you give them enough notice.

Many international musicians to hire travel the world with hundreds of songs in their repertoire. They will likely know the songs you like already! In both cases, don’t be afraid to ask! It is important you get exactly the music you want at your event.

Back to Top

How loud will the musician be?

The volume a musician performs is based on the type of instruments involved. For example, a music artist performing with live drum kit or sax will be relatively louder than unamplified acoustic guitar or violin. Where volume needs to be a consideration, you may want to opt-in for light percussion instruments instead of a full drum kit. Another swap could be for backing tracks instead of a complete horn section.

Back to Top

Will the musicianbe suitable for sound limiters?

Having a sound limiter is something that should be discussed when booking your musician. However, many local musicians to hire have experience in working with sound limitations. They will be able to advise in detail.

Back to Top

Do I need to provide anything for the musicians?

You are welcome to offer your chosen musicians anything included in your event planning. The musicians only need a space to perform and payment for their performance. The space they need is scalable based on the number of musicians in their line-up. The bands and musicians for hire have experience in everything they need and they can tell you in more detail.

The payment should be issued by prior arrangement. This is via a BACS transfer in the week leading up to the event, issued in cash at the end of the performance or payment via cheque as agreed.

ACE Music Booking Agency has a ‘Managed’ option. You can choose this for a secure and stress-free booking. ACE will handle communications and booking agreements as well as offering a secure online payment.

Back to Top

What happens if I have a complaint about the musician?

If you have a complaint this should be raised as soon as possible with the musician themselves. The sooner a musician knows there is an issue the quicker they can rectify the problem if it is within their power to do so. A great way to avoid complaints is to use ACE Music Booking Agency’s Managed booking option.

Back to Top

How will the musician plan their performance for my cruise ship?

Exactly as agreed! The musicians you selected will arrive as agreed, set-up and sound-check. They will then get ready for their performance. Once the music begins the musician you liked and hired for your cruise ship will play for the agreed amount of time, taking a small break if required. At the end, they will pack up their equipment, and as agreed with you, accept payment and leave.

Back to Top

What equipment will the musician provide?

All musicians to hire will supply the equipment they need to perform, unless provided by you. Have particular requests? It is best to discuss these with your hired musician. The local musician for hire will provide a suitable lighting and PA sound system, where needed, and enjoyable live music perfect for your cruise ship.

Back to Top

How much space will the musician need to perform?

Hiring a musician for your available space is very easy. You can tell us about the space you have and we will help you find the best local musicians for hire that are suitable. Don’t forget to place your booking request where you can tell us all about your event.

Back to Top

How long do musicians perform?

As long as agreed! Generally, bands and musicians perform in sections of 45 minutes to an hour. This is usually separated with a small break lasting around 5 to 15 minutes. So if you want your musician to perform across 3 hours, they will play for 45 minutes 3 times. Some musicians performing across 2 hours, would play for 45 minutes, take a 15-minute break then play for the whole last hour. There are also musicians that when asked to perform across 3 hours will do that without a break! You can discuss and agree how long you want your musician to perform their music sets and break duration.

Back to Top

Can I tailor my music act’s performance?

The local musicians available to hire are happy to discuss any ways they can provide the best performance for your cruise ship. You may want particular songs performed at particular times or make announcements. Feel free to let the musicians know exactly what you would like to change or add. Especially if you plan to have them swinging from the chandeliers!

Back to Top

How much does it cost to hire a local musician?

Local musicians can cost between $/£/€200 and $/£/€3000. Popular professional original or cover musicians may have a minimum fee of $/£/€10000. On average, most solo singers, musicians or DJs will cost $/£/€350; small bands $/£/€750; function bands $/£/€2500. It also matters for how long you want the musician to perform for your cruise ship and if there are any extra requirements. You can detail what you have in mind on your booking request. ACE Music Booking Agency will find the best cruise ship musicians for hire to fit your budget. So you can rest assured you will be able to afford the musicians on your shortlist.

Back to Top

What happens if a musician becomes ill?

Illness is something all musicians for hire are prepared for. This means another musician stepping in for your cruise ship. The replacement musician will be well versed in the music that the initial musician performs. You will be unlikely to hear any difference, although they may appear different. If the musician is unable to provide a replacement, ACE will be available to help you hire another musician of similar quality.

Back to Top

Do all music artists perform live?

The bands and musicians will perform live but not all shows are completely live. Some musicians use musical backing tracks to perform with a larger sound. For example, a soloist may use a backing track accompaniment. Feel free to discuss your preferences with the musician. Even some world famous music artists use backing tracks!

Back to Top

Can the musicians play different styles of music?

Popular variety bands and musicians are happy to perform music across many genres and decades. Speciality artists prefer to focus their music on a particular style. Feel free to tell us what style of music you want your musician to perform for your cruise ship.
