However, they're not shy about incorporating catchy pop classics from the era, featuring artists such as Ricky Martin, Backstreet Boys, and The Rembrandts—a daring fusion guaranteed to ignite your nostalgia. Diversifying their setlist, they also offer energetic renditions of 50s and 60s rock 'n' roll classics for vintage enthusiasts, as well as contemporary chart-toppers for the younger crowd, ensuring The Blockbusters are the ultimate function band capable of transforming any occasion into an exhilarating, ceaseless celebration.

Customer questions

Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

We strive to make sure the line-up you see is what you get on the night. We do have pre-audititioned 'dep' musicians available in case a band member falls ill or is unavailable. As a professional band our reputation means everything so you can be confident that all of our players are of a very high level.

Do you have different line-up options?

Our line-up is as follows: Guitar/Vocals, Bass/Vocals and Drums. You can add to the line up if you wish with various instruments, for example Saxophone.

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

We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know.

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

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and we actually offer this service for free. If you'd like a DJ service via our PA after the final set until the venue closes, we provide this for an additional £100.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time. As soon as our PA is set up we can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance!

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. You're more than welcome to let us know your favourites, as well as any definite no plays - but we do prefer to pick our setlists.

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

Our PA and lighting system is included in your quote. We require a big enough space to fit a full band into.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

We'll learn your first dance for free (song dependant)! If there is a special song you'd like us to learn that is outside of our repertoire, we are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £100 per song for this service to take into account rehearsal times and scheduling time out of our busy lives.
