Back to Britpop are the authentic 1990s Britpop experience: We take you Back to Britpop, because we were there: We were there for Oasis at Knebworth in 1996, Radiohead at Glastonbury in 1997, and the Stone Roses comeback tour in 1995. Blur, Suede, Pulp, Ash, The Verve, The Charlatans, The Bluetones, Gene, even Dodgy – we saw them all, at the height of their powers. Now we’ve bottled the essence of Britpop to bring to your pub, wedding or special event. Let us take you Back to Britpop!

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We pride ourselves on flexibility and are well used to last minute changes. Have no fear, we will communicate throughout and resolve any potential hurdles that may arise. We believe every function we are invited to perform at is unique and so we treat it as such.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely. We welcome a pre made playlist by yourself that we can play through our system. This is free of charge. If you would like a further DJ service after the live sets we charge £100 per hour.

How much time do you need to set up?

Between an hour and 90 minutes.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Yes and this included our smoke machine which really brings out the lights and atmosphere. We only require space (5m x 5m minimum) and access to power.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included in our song list there may still be a chance we already know it. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account extra rehearsal time and room hire.
