Verified profile

We are The Retrobeats – an experienced four piece live band with an excellent reputation for entertainment and musicianship available for private and public functions, weddings, holiday parks, corporate work, theme nights, social clubs, festivals etc. We play a wide range of songs from the late 1950s through to the early/mid 1970s with the accent on music to dance to. Reliving the great hits of yesteryear, we feature both male and female lead vocals and harmonies. We play the hits you remember and some you'd forgotten too but you'll still be singing along. With full dance floors a testimony to our performances, it is regularly commented that our further appeal is the sheer variety of material we cover - artistes from Elvis Presley to The Beatles, Connie Francis to Dusty Springfield, The Drifters to The Turtles, The Seekers to Cilla Black, Leo Sayer to Showaddywaddy and a host of one hit wonders too, we perform a truly varied range of great songs from a golden era of popular music. We can do specific rock n roll or sixties sets if required. We are a self contained band with compact high performance equipment and lighting. We are public liability insured and all our equipment is PAT tested. We endeavour to be as flexible and accommodating as possible to ensure the event is a success and pride ourselves on our reputation reliability, punctuality and friendliness. The Complete Package For functions and parties, The Retrobeats offer a complete evening's entertainment package of both live and recorded music. This can be a very cost-effective way of ensuring your entire event's music is catered for. We will provide recorded music of whatever style or era our client requires. We can theme the music or play a wide range of varying styles. If you want specific songs we just ask for some notice before the event. We have sourced some very obscure tracks for clients in the past! We use professional standard equipment so an excellent quality of audio reproduction is guaranteed.

I just want to say a massive thank you for performing at my mum's surprise 70th Birthday at The Beaches Hotel in Prestatyn on the 3rd Feb. You were fantastic and you put on such a brilliant performance. You had everybody up dancing from the moment you started playing until the very end. You really made the night special, playing some of my mum's favourite hits from the 50s, 60s and 70s. If we have anymore family parties I will be booking The Retrobeats straight away again to perform, as everybody commented on how much they enjoyed the band. I also want to say a massive thank you for doing our DJ set too, you really were all round great entertainment! Thank you for everything and if anybody I know is looking for a band who plays your hits, I definitely will be recommending The Retrobeats. Best Wishes and thank you :) Catherine xxx

We were dancing from the first song to the last. I would definitely book you again and can highly recommend you to anyone who wants this kind of music. I am so glad I found you! Perfect. I wish you well for the future and hope to see you again soon. Best wishes and thank you all again. Keeeeeep performing !!! Regards Mary, Andy, Joan and families. Xxxx
