The difference

We don't just list bands.
We build careers.

Most agencies are directories. They put your name on a list, take their cut when a booking lands and leave the hard graft to you. Coast is a full sales, marketing, media, technology and admin partner behind your band.

Proof

This is what it looks like.

The Big Papas playing a packed wedding dancefloor The Big Papas

From open mic nights to the busiest wedding band in Scotland.

Where they started

Craig was a bouncer. Jamie ran the open mic night. Jack worked behind the bar. Three seriously talented musicians with no route into the industry.

What we did

We spotted their chemistry, added a saxophone to the lineup, shot their video, built their microsite, wrote their copy and ran paid ads at our expense.

Now

Confetti Award winners for Best Evening Entertainment, earning hundreds of thousands of pounds a year doing a job they love. Their diary is the one every band thinks doesn't exist.

From struggling with a competitor to hitting their target in 18 months.

Where they started

Languishing on a competitor's roster, barely booking, out of ideas.

What we did

We reshot their video, changed their presentation and styling, picked songs that showed off their flair and put serious Meta advertising behind them.

Now

The life they actually asked for: strong income with room left over for family and everything else that matters. From a standing start, inside 18 months. Dignity is the point.

Being a self employed musician, is something I only ever dreamed about.

From discovering the band to paying a reservation fee, with nobody waiting on a callback.

Instant quotes Live date check Online booking Verified reviews AI assistant built in Always on

Commission this from a web agency and you'd be thousands of pounds down before your first booking. Every Coast band gets it as standard.

Coast AI

Meet the band member who never sleeps.

The microsite is the shop. It comes staffed. We work with you to build a deep dataset on your band, so your assistant can handle the complex questions most band sites can't. While you're on stage on a Saturday night, it's answering a couple, checking your date and walking them to an instant quote. Trained on your band. Working for your band. Around the clock.

Answers couples 24/7, straight from your own information: setlist, reviews, FAQs, prices.

Walks couples to an instant quote and a live date check.

Can email the couple a copy of their chat.

Helps you close your own direct enquiries too.

Every Coast band gets their own. Trained on your setlist, your reviews, your prices. Selling you while you sleep.

Illustrative chat widget. Not a live assistant on this page.

The money

How we make money.

18%

A success fee of 18% + VAT per booking, paid as the customer's reservation fee at the point of booking.

No monthly fees No sign-up costs No upfront investment

We fund the video production, the advertising, the microsite build and the copywriting. You only pay when we book you a gig. We carry the financial risk, so you don't have to.

Two front doors. One engine underneath. Couples who find us book through Coast. Couples who find you book through your microsite, and that's exactly what it's for: you never have to send your own enquiries away to an agency. They deal with you, it feels like booking you direct, and behind the scenes it's all one system: one diary, one contract, secured payments, the same protection for them and for you. The couple gets their band. You get your gig. Every booking gets the safety net.

You only pay when we book you a gig.

We're selective. For good reason.

We only take on a handful of new bands each year, because every act gets the full Coast treatment: the video, the microsite, the ads, the mentoring, the sales team behind you. That's serious investment from day one, so we need to know you're the right fit.

If you're a talented band with ambition, and you want to make a real living doing what you love, show us what you've got.
