What makes a good tribute act?
Everything you need to know to identify a good quality tribute act 17/05/2022
There are thousands of tribute acts around the world, but what makes a good tribute act? With many years of experience in the entertainment industry, specialising in tribute and party bands, we are here to answer!
Looking the part
It may seem obvious, but a good tribute act will always look the part. They should do more than simply wear the clothes of their favourite singer. The act should have absolutely everything down to a tee! Whether it's Michael Jacksons famous moonwalk or the 'rubber legs' of Elvis Presley, mannerisms might be the single important thing to look for in a tribute act.
Professionalism
Most of the tribute acts we work with are either professionals or what we would class as 'semi-pro's', in other words, they perform for a living. While it's always fun to earn money doing something you're passionate about, that doesn't mean it should be all fun and games when it comes to performing. A reputable and well-rounded tribute act will always be reliable, punctual and respectful.
They come prepared
Being organised is important in any career, you can't build a house with no tools nor write a novel with no pen. Performers are no different. A top-notch act will always come prepared with everything they need to put on a show, whether that's a full sound system or their best backline equipment.
Reviews
When you're looking at hiring a tribute act, it's always a good idea to see what other people have had to say about them. A good tribute act will often have reviews online. Acts on the Henderson Management website will more often than not have a 'Testimonials' section on their page where we upload any feedback submitted to us (usually through e-mails or google reviews).
