60s Band #2747

Formed in March 2007 after the band leader was asked by a work colleague if he would like to play at his wedding reception (and be paid, but don't tell the rest of the band)!! Following a few frantic phone calls to various musicians that he had worked with in the past, the band was born. They decided to arrange a few rehearsals and musically, everything just clicked. The band was originally only formed to play the one wedding but all the members decided that they enjoyed playing together so much and that the sound they had was so good that it would be a shame to not keep it going. (And a loss to Rock music as we know it)!! They are now regularly playing the club circuit in the Berkshire area with their ever expanding repertoire, they can cater for most occasions, covering songs by artists such as... The Jam, Crowded House, The Rolling Stones, Take That, The Beatles, Queen and The Eagles.

Party band playing covers from the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80, 90's and today

Very clear sound as we all go direct to the pa. No amps on stage, no one getting louder as the evening goes on.
"It sounds just like a CD" Is one of the comments we constantly get.

Reviews

Felicity Bignell “Thank you so much for a great evening of great music and a fabulous first dance! Your sang it beautifully and me knocking the groom out with my elbow gave it a special, comedy twist”.

“You and your band were professional , accommodating and great fun. I would not hesitate to recommend you and on that note I have passed your details onto another wedding couple who would like to book you for 2013”.

Chris “You set the place alight at the Mosaic party tonight – this is why dance floors were invented – every tune a winner – those feet just can’t keep still. A really tight five-piece unit that just keeps on giving! Can’t wait till next time.”

Thanks, Chris
