I booked The Ramrods for this event and they were fantastic! My Nan and Grandad reminisce their dancing days, listening to songs they used to dance and jive to. Everyone enjoyed listening and dancing to the songs they brilliantly performed all night. Would highly recommend this rockabilly band for any special occasion." Based in Nottingham, England (14 miles from Derby) Izzy - Private Party Photo of Ukulele Eric Ukulele Eric "We had Eric at a family party for my brother who was 60, his children and grandchildren attended so it was a mixed age group, Eric was very friendly and explained which instruments he was playing on, which he did very well. He has a varied list of songs and kept us entertained while he was there, some people carried on talking but later they said it was good to have some background entertainment, I would certainly recommend Eric to liven up any party, thank you so much for attending ours."

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 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.
