Photo of Mirror Effect Band Mirror Effect Band "Wow, what a band. We loved having you guys for our first live gig back! We look forward to welcoming you back again in July." Based in Reading, England The Thames Hotel in Maidenhead, 21.05.2021 Photo of Undercovers Hampshire Undercovers Hampshire "I booked these guys from the internet not really knowing what your going to get. How pleased I was, the whole team are fantastic people, great musicians and so professional. They played two astounding sets of a good mix of songs, this added to my wife’s surprise 60th birthday event immensely. We would definitely book the band again and will pass to all our friends. Well done the Undercovers and thanks, Steve and Hils" Based in Hartley Wintney, England (11 miles from Reading) Steve and Hilary - Party, Aug 2024 Photo of Jack Barnes Jack Barnes "Jack was amazing. From early communication planning the play list through to performing on the day, Jack delivered! Jack is personable, polite and does not intrude. Thank you Jack for making the birthday celebrations special." Based in Wallingford, England (12 miles from Reading) 18th August 2026 Jane Smith - Birthday Photo of Elvis tribute and rock n roll show Elvis tribute and rock n roll show "Paul was a joy to deal with, he responded to quickly to any messages. Arrived early to set up and had the crowd singing and dancing all night with his sets. Having the rock n roll show first was a great warm up to his Elvis set which we would happily book again" Based in High Wycombe, England (15 miles from Reading) Lee Bryant - Gade & Goose Photo of Add Hock Add Hock "Feet tapped, eyes shone, hands clapped and hips and heads rolled as the brilliance of the great song writers Gershwin, Porter, Warren, Berlin and others became the hymns of this Saturday evening. But light-hearted as most of the music was, there was contrast in the emotive classic 'Every Time we say Goodbye' sung by the nightingale Gaylene Parish (close your eyes and it was Ella Fitzgerald)." Based in Newbury, England (16 miles from Reading) Alan Dowding, for the Hailey Herald - Concert Photo of The Don't Look Now Band The Don't Look Now Band "I wanted to say that we all had a fantastic night & your band were brilliant, everyone raved about you & the party was a swinging success. I called back to the venue the next day to collect the cake & the people there said that they had never enjoyed a party as much & were sorry they never got the chance to dance more than they did (both behind the bar & on the other side of it!). Many thanks for all your help & a special thanks to Lisa for putting up with all the changes that took place when trying to arrange the night. I will definitely be in touch for the next event & wish you every success for the future." Based in Windsor, England (16 miles from Reading) Philippa Brown - Birthday Party

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.
