Modern Vintage is a wedding/party band based in the West of England, with over ten years' experience of playing together. We love what we do and we are great friends and this comes across in our fun, high-energy performances. We have a huge repertoire of classic songs from the fifties to the present day and with our Premium Option you can choose your favourite songs for us to perform for you. We also offer a full Beatles show for fans of the Fab Four. You are welcome to use our PA system in-between our sets to play your own music via an iPod disco. Please contact us to receive a quote for: 1. STANDARD OPTION 2 x 50 minute sets with a break or 1 hour 40 minutes straight through. Our standard option includes two fifty minute sets of classic covers right the way from the '50s to the '00s and beyond! 2. PREMIUM OPTION 2 x 1 hour sets with a break or 2 hours straight through. With our Premium Option, set times are extended to one hour each (or two hours without a break). We will tailor our performance to meet your requirements and you can choose any favourite songs you want to hear played from our extensive repertoire, including, for weddings, for a first dance. 3. BEATLES OPTION 2 x 50 minute sets or 1 hour 40 minutes straight through of The Beatles' greatest hits. Hear the Fab Four's best loved songs from 'Love Me Do' to 'Let It Be' performed live and bring the sounds of the swinging sixties to your event. (Please note that this is a sound-a-like show and we do not dress up as, or pretend to be, The Beatles!) 4. ACOUSTIC OPTION: 2 x 50 minute sets or 1 hour 40 minutes straight through Modern Vintage can perform as an acoustic duo for a more laid back vibe or where space, noise or financial restrictions limit the viability of the full band. We perform a wide range of material from the fifties to the present day in our acoustic sets, although the songs vary from the ones featured in our full band repertoire. Please contact us for further information and a sample set list. ​We look forward to hearing from you!

Hello, Just to say a massive thank you to you for your brilliant performance at my wife's 60th birthday party, and helping make it such a memorable occasion. You are obviously very accomplished musicians, and even willing to cover 'off the cuff' announcements. You are true musicians and gentlemen! ​Best wishes for the future. ​Kind regards ​Gary Pike

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

We play the songs that clients want to hear through requests organised before the performance. This way we ensure that there won't be any disappointment and a good time is had by all. We are a band with lots of energy and we love it when people lose themselves in the music!

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Previous clients include Royal Caribbean, Turnberry Golf Course, The Savoy Hotel, The Cavern Club Liverpool, BBC Radio Bristol and BBC Points West.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Too many to choose from! However, we all love The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and Queen!

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

Onboard Royal Caribbean cruise liner 'Vision of the Seas' to a capacity crowd of 900!

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

All four of us sing and we will provide the same line-up unless a band member falls ill or is otherwise unavoidably unavailable. In these circumstances, we would do our best to find another musician to deputise for them.

Do you have different line-up options?

Our line-up features two guitars, bass and drums with four vocalists. Our acoustic duo option features two acoustic guitarists/singers.

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. Please note that our fee includes a maximum of six hours of our time at the venue. This can be extended for an additional fee of £100 per hour.

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

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and we offer the opportunity for you to play your music via your iPad etc. through our PA system in-between our sets for free. If you'd like to use our PA for this purpose after our last set finishes, this can be provided for an additional fee of £100 per hour.

How much time do you need to set up?

Our six hours of time at the venue includes a minimum of one and a half hours to unload, set up our gear, soundcheck and get changed, and one hour after the performance ends to break down and pack away our equipment.

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

Yes. You with our Premium Option you are welcome to choose the songs we play from our large repertoire of rock and pop classic from the fifties to the present day. Please choose up to 32 songs from the currently published repertoire on our website: https://www.modernvintageband.co.uk/repertoire

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

Yes. Our PA and lighting system is included in your quote. We usually require a minimum of 3 metres by 3 metres space to perform.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

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 £75 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.
