Funny, entertaining, just the right level of audience participation and so great at incorporating every request. The team was on time, delightful to work with and truly the highlight of the party. Would thoroughly recommend this act -the best!" Based in Gold Coast, Queensland (356 miles from Cessnock) 27th October 2025 Renae Beaumont - 80th birthday party Photo of Bassline Bassline "If you’re looking for a band for any kind of function or event, stop looking and just hire Bassline Studios. They played at our wedding recently and were just incredible. From creating intimate moments in our ceremony, to a relaxed vibe during our cocktail hour, to the best dance party at our reception - they did it all. I’ve never seen a band engage with a crowd so much, as what they did with us all on the dance floor. They helped us have the most amazing night, and our guests are still raving about how great they were. I knew this band was going to be great though even before the night. Sometimes you meet people and get such a good feeling from them that you just know you can trust them to do a good job. Bernadette was like that for us. She was a delight to meet with prior to the wedding, and was so lovely and flexible with us, as we had to navigate through 3 wedding attempts due to COVID. We can’t thank her enough for her genuine care and enthusiasm that she gave us for our wedding. I cant recommend Bassline Studios highly enough." Based in Brisbane, Queensland (384 miles from Cessnock) 21st April 2026 Paul Cazzulino - Wedding

The 1960s era musicians & bands cover a wide range of 1960s genres including British Invasion pop, Motown, soul, psychedelic rock, surf rock and folk rock. Many bands specialise in a particular 1960s style, while others offer a broader mix of the decade's biggest hits.

Many clients book 1960s era musicians & bands for themed parties, weddings, corporate events, festival stages and milestone birthday celebrations. The 1960s produced some of the most recognisable songs in popular music, making it an era that appeals to a wide audience across all age groups.

A typical booking for 1960s era musicians & bands covers two to three hours of live music, usually divided into sets with breaks. The upbeat, danceable nature of 1960s material means sets tend to be high-energy and work well as evening entertainment. Performance times can often be adjusted to suit the event schedule.

Many 1960s era musicians & bands are flexible with their repertoire and can include songs from the late 1950s through to the early 1970s to complement their core 1960s setlist. It is worth checking each band's profile or asking directly about their full repertoire when making an enquiry.

Most 1960s era musicians & bands are self-contained and bring their own instruments, amplifiers and PA system. For larger venues or events with over 300 guests, additional sound reinforcement may be required. It is a good idea to discuss the venue size and layout with the band before booking.
