Reviews of 1960s Era Musicians & Bands available in Edinburgh

5/5 from 921 reviews
Photo of La Dolce Vita Swing Collective La Dolce Vita Swing Collective "Not knowing what to expect I was ready for anything on a warm September night in Edinburgh. This was a Sunday night too and the setting was complete in the nightclub atmosphere that is the Dirty Martini lounge. This band can swing, bass and drums groove sweetly while sax and piano trade solos making this a full sound like there are more on stage. Tony Delicata on vocals blends his Italian roots with Volare, On An Evening In Roma and O Solo Mio as we were escorted to warm Italy with cool sounds and cocktails to suit. The second half opened with I Wish I Knew, an instrumental from the days when Cinema was a TV series before Tony returned with more signature arrangements. By now the audience were itching to dance and with peaks like Mack The Knife and (Theme From) New York New York they were at one with the band. The closing title song was a creative masterstroke and a deserved ovation followed." Based in Edinburgh, Scotland K107fm - concert Photo of Bob Ferguson Songwriter Bob Ferguson Songwriter "We all had an amazing night, all the sailors loved your performance and it really made a massive difference to the night, it really brightened up the spirits of everyone and made it a night to remember, extremely worth it and a very fair price.

Lynne was a delight to speak to from the start, very responsive and polite. Her lovely cheery face was a welcome addition to our charity day and we loved the songs they sang. Thanks for your support Lynne, we can't wait to have you back!!" Based in Glasgow, Scotland (42 miles from Edinburgh) Fran Campbell - Southern Sound Hospital Radio Photo of Sparky , Dr Dub and the Wailer blues trio Sparky , Dr Dub and the Wailer blues trio "If you walked into The Pocket blindfolded last week you might have thought Tom Jones had dropped by to front this power trio. But there's no mistaking why they call Stephen Bailey 'The Wailer', as he fills the room with deep guttural blues you could be back in 50's Mississippi. With a rhythm section tighter than a bungee jumper's harness and keyboard skills that could give Jools Holland a run for his money, these guys mean business!

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.
