All of our musicians, bands, and entertainers, are professionals and they all take their work responsibilities very seriously. It is extremely rare that an artist needs to cancel an event, and usually only for extraordinary reasons; illness or bereavement, etc. Should the artist need to cancel you will be immediately advised and consulted and offered a full refund of any monies you had paid. We will then offer you the full support of our office to find a suitable alternative artist, should you want us to.

We were really pleased with the service we received from UK Live Entertainment, they are really helpful and very customer focused. They assisted us in selecting a great Jazz band for my birthday party, the band performed brilliantly, they were easy to deal with and we loved them! Thanks to Grant and his team for all of the help, and advice. Highly recommended and I will definitely use the agency again.
