"19Eighties played at my 60th birthday Party and created the 80’s party I had been hoping for, they were absolutely brilliant, myself and lots of the partygoers couldn’t stay off the dance floor! Marcos communicated well beforehand, they arrived punctually and came up with the perfect playlist. So many guests wowed at just how good they were and how well I had done at finding them. I would definitely recommend 19Eighties if you’re looking for an 80’s party. "
