I think this might be a long shot but what are the chances of finding a band to play this song for me for a reasonable amount of money?



Kicker is I'll only need them to do the one song and I'll need a proper orchestra to go with the band..

Anyone know what I should be googling? I dunno where to start :/

Elbow Tribute band?

I did a quick search and found nothing!

Dunno but hiring an orchestra for a reasonable amount of money is still going to involve having to pay for rather a lot of people's time - unless you're somehow able to persuade a lot of people to work for free then surely you'd be looking at a few thousand at a minimum...

Would you be willing to get some college/uni students to do it? I'm sure they'd be more than happy to do it for really cheap, it'd be helping them out too course wise I assume.

^ good thinking 

are you going to tell us what it's for ? I was trying not to ask... but can;t help it..... is it for a girl ?

Seems a lot of cost/hassle, i would assume its for a wedding a least.

I found a band!

They do similar stuff to elbow and if they quote me happy I'll tell em I'll pay em £x more if they can do that song, but if they can't do it then no tomato.
