Latest reviews of our Vintage Bands in Harrogate

"Great to see The Candy Girls again and made our Battle of Britain Dinner very memorable."

Scott hired The Candy Girls for a Bar / Club / Venue event (available in Harrogate)

Verified Review, 18 September 2025

"Unbelievably, incredibly, superbly fantastic!! The highlight of our wedding! Guests were talking about ‘The Band for days afterwards! We would have paid more to have them play for us, they were so good. Additionally, they were super responsive to emails/ calls and went out of their way to fit in with our timings for the day. We hope to have an occasion where we can have them play for us again! Sophie & Chris Winchelsea "

"The swingers were amazing. We booked a four man line up for our wedding and they absolutely smashed it. Real showmen, excellent musicians, got everyone dancing, managed the crowd, just perfection. Everyone commented on how great they were and asked how we’d managed to find them. Worth every penny "

FAQs about hiring Vintage bands in Harrogate

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore

Can any vintage band play my favourite song?

Professional vintage bands will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice. Please also keep in mind that vintage bands may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the vintage band's song list on their Encore profile.

How much time do vintage bands take to set up?

Your vintage band will usually arrive about an hour or so before their performance begins to set up and get settled before they start playing. To avoid any delays, make sure the performance space is ready for the vintage band prior to their arrival.

My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?

PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our vintage bands are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our vintage bands will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
