Your Event
Choose between 2 x 45 or 2 x 60 minute sets to suit the style of your event and an additional acoustic set is available too.
Acoustic set
In addition to their normal sets The Dollars can perform an acoustic set. The band play with acoustic guitars and use brushes/hotrods on the drum kit for a more chilled and intimate atmosphere perfect for during drinks or over dinner.

N.B. Due to the fact that the band's ‘in-house’ service is a lot less than a normal DJ would charge it may not be possible for every request to be met. However if you forward any specific requests you’d want the band to include well in advance they will do their best to find them and add them to their collection.

“The Dollars were absolutely fantastic, they got in touch with me several times before the party to check what we wanted and to confirm arrangements. On the night they were brilliant, excellent musicians who really got the party going - so many of our guests commented on how great they were! I wouldn't hesitate to book them again and again!!” - Sarah’s wedding, Warwickshire.
“The Dollars did a great job at my wedding, they got everyone going and at one point (during Mr Brightside) there were some concerns the dancefloor was going to collapse! Everyone I spoke to had nothing but praise for them, and given that Superfly (now the Feeling) played to much the same crowd for my sister-in-law's wedding, that was some achievement. On top of this they were so pleasant and easy to deal with....I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them” - Chris Ward.
“The audience loved the band's performance which was inkeeping with the event...fun, loud, and varied! The DJ set used music that was spot on!...Thanks for making it a great night!” - Peninsula Graduation Ball Committee
“We had a great party, thanks largely to The Dollars. They were fantastic - they had the dance floor packed from beginning to end, and played a great selection of songs to suit everyone's taste - and we had a broad spread of age groups there. Matt also went to some lengths to tailor the between-set music to exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot lads - you gave us a great night, everyone has been saying how good you were. We're more than happy to recommend The Dollars…” - Nicola Warhurst
“I can thoroughly recommend this group… They were totally professional from the way they set up, to their playing, to their mixing with our guests. I should say that our guests' average was over 60 and yet almost everyone was still dancing at the end of the evening and everyone said how much they had enjoyed the music” – Marion Dowding
“The Dollars were a great young and talented band providing all what they promised and delivering it on the night. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any type of event from New Year Eve Celebrations Weddings corporate Dinners and so on. They can cover the entire spectrum of artists and types of music to suit”. – Ramada Jarvis Hotel, Brighton
Please be aware that, while the band can happily adjust the volume according to your needs, you are advised to consult your venue while considering a rock and pop band of this nature due to the type of music they play.
