Reviews of Classic Rock Bands available in Brighton

5/5 from 503 reviews
Photo of The Opposition The Opposition "Mark and Phil have played twice at my garden party. They have delighted guests of all ages. They are not only very talented musicians but are lovely people who draw the audience in. No-one wanted them to finish! I cannot recommend them highly enough - accomplished, professional, punctual and charming!" Based in Crawley, England (20 miles from Brighton) Mandy Claiden - Private Garden Party Photo of Turnstyle Band UK Turnstyle Band UK "Thank you for a wonderful night of entertainment, our guests really enjoyed themselves the music was suited to all. We would certainly recommend you and if we have anymore weddings we will be in touch!!! Thanks once again." Based in Edenbridge, England (27 miles from Brighton) Jo from The Talbot Inn Hotel, Ripley, Surrey - Wedding party Photo of The Britpoppers The Britpoppers "The Britpoppers played my husband's 40th birthday. Great night. Great time had by all! Thank you!!" Based in Woking, England (38 miles from Brighton) Nicola N - Birthday Party Photo of Rockbusta Rockbusta "The feedback that I got from all who attended was the band was really entertaining and put on a brilliant evening" Based in Maidstone, England (42 miles from Brighton) Mary Neill - Snodland WMC Photo of Leader Leader "Excellent song choices, excellent communication, lovely guys! Highly recommend." Based in Chertsey, England (42 miles from Brighton) Colin W - Birthday Party Photo of The Vampirettes The Vampirettes "Are you ready for love at first bite?", asked vocalist Belladonna, alongside her equally frightening bandmates, Datura and Wolfsbane on lead guitars, Deadly Nightshade on bass and Violet Mandrakia on drums, all who had ventured out of their crypt tonight, to trick or treat us to some classic vampish covers. Van Halen's 'Runnin With The Devil' immediately gave Belladonna something to get her teeth into, as did Ozzy's 'Bark At The Moon', with an impressive dual guitar attack from the aptly named Wolfsbane and Datura, her poisonous partner in crime. Lead Guitarist Datura (aka Ezra) continued to flower, leading her undead pack on The Shangri-Las '(Remember) Walking In The Sand', before their "oldie, but a goodie", and Fleetwood Mac's, (Peter) 'Green Manalishi (With The Two Prong Crown). An eclectic list of classics continued with UFO's 'Doctor Doctor' and even Jefferson Airplane's 'White Rabbit' - both dispatched with frightening professional aplomb and a refreshing change from the standard covers that are churned out so often. "Any fans of Kiss?" asked MC Belladonna, cue 'I Was Made For Lovin' You', before another unusual stand-out, and a highlight for mine, Python Lee Jackson's (or Rod Stewart's for those of you that are a lot younger than me) 'In A Broken Dream'. Brilliant. The vampire banter continued, before Wolfsbane launched into the awesome opening riff of Metallica's 'Enter Sandman' (never tire of that one), although their vampish antics continued when they stopped during the intro of Blue Oyster Cult's 'Don't Fear The Reaper'. "What are we missing?" they asked. "More cowbell!" was the answer. Enter The Reaper (not The Sandman) on stage with trusty cowbell, although, seriously, this was another highlight of the set with great harmonies, spot on guitars plus some demon drumming from dear Violet. A special mention for the excellent Deadly Nightshade, who confided with me after the set that her bass guitar idol was indeed, the one and only Phil Lynott. Sadly, no Thin Lizzy in their set tonight, although from one girl band to another, The Vampirettes did salute The Runaways very own Joan Jett with 'I Hate Myself For Loving You' So pleased I wore my special edition Motorhead t-shirt on the night as they tore into Lemmy's 'Born To Raise Hell', with some more brilliant drumming from Ms. Mandrakia, before some 'Tainted Love', with Soft Cell's classic given the werewolf guitar treatment. And talking of Wolfsbane, "Lord" Alice Cooper's 'Poison' was the penultimate in the set, and despite pleads for "more", rather aptly Rainbow's 'Long Live Rock 'N' Roll', with a bit of audience participation and band intros, brought the night's proceedings to an end. A great set. Great content. Great musicians. Great fun. All in all a brilliant evening" Based in Brentford, England (46 miles from Brighton) Alun Jones - Wrinkly Rockers Club

Expect songs spanning classic rock, blues rock, hard rock and stadium rock. Many bands focus on the most well-known anthems that get audiences singing and dancing.

Hiring classic rock bands is a popular choice for weddings, birthday parties, corporate events, pub and bar gigs, festivals and any event where high-energy live music is the focus. Classic rock has universal appeal and works particularly well for audiences who enjoy guitar-driven music.

Rock bands are generally louder than acoustic or jazz acts. Most classic rock bands can adjust their volume to suit the venue, and many carry equipment that allows them to control sound levels. It is a good idea to discuss any noise restrictions or volume concerns with the band before booking.

Most classic rock bands are self-contained and provide their own instruments, amplifiers and PA system for standard event venues. For larger stages or outdoor events, additional sound and monitoring equipment may be needed. To get the best results, confirm technical requirements with the band.
