The Wakefield district has a strong club tradition, and tribute nights remain one of the most popular forms of entertainment in its clubs, sports clubs and function rooms. We book tributes across Wakefield, Ossett, Horbury, Pontefract, Castleford and Normanton.
From a ruby wedding in a cricket club to a sell-out tribute night at a social club, we will match the right act to the room.
If you run a club, tribute nights are one of the easiest events to promote. Use the act's approved photos and list the biggest songs on your posters. Rotating different tributes through the year keeps regulars coming back.
For birthdays and anniversaries in Wakefield function rooms, a solo tribute is usually ideal: compact, self-contained and quick to set up. For a bigger room or a wedding, a group tribute such as ABBA or the Spice Girls adds spectacle.
Think first about who will be in the room. A Tom Jones or Elvis night suits an older club audience; a Take That or Robbie show suits a 40th or 50th; ABBA suits almost everyone. If you're unsure, tell us the occasion and age range and we'll suggest two or three options.
Book Saturdays and December dates early. Check the act's set list and ask about special requests such as a birthday dedication.
Yes. We supply tribute acts to clubs across Wakefield and the Five Towns.
Most bring their own PA and lighting. We confirm requirements with your venue.
Most are happy to. Mention it when you enquire.
Fees depend on the act, date, travel and set length, so we quote each event individually. Send an enquiry with your date and venue and we’ll come back with a tailored price – there’s no obligation.
