Photo of All Of Me All Of Me "The All of Me show was outstanding, one of the best performances I've seen, Paul Gordon and the band outstanding, his tap dancing super, You don't want to miss it." Based in Hamilton, Ontario (72 miles from London) 16th March 2026 Alex & Heather Moroz - Private Club Show Photo of Flashback Flashback "Flashback played at our Saturday night Labour Day Dance on September2nd and the crowd loved it. They were fabulous. I had so many great comments about the band that I already book them for next year. Excellent band. Mike O'Conner" Based in Mississauga, Ontario (89 miles from London) Mike O'Conner - Saturday Night Dance Photo of Gary Taylor Guitar Gary Taylor Guitar "Gary was such a wonderful musical addition to our event! He arrived on time with his own gear and was very attentive to our schedule and expectations. When there was a lull he took initiative and did some additional songs and kept the vibe going. As a musician his performance was great. Both instrumentally and vocally very talented. We asked him to engage with the crowd, he didn't hesitate and his interactions came naturally. He even collaborated and improvised with other performers! He was extremely friendly and polite with us and our guests. Thank you Gary for your special contribution to our night!" Based in Etobicoke, Ontario (96 miles from London) 22nd September 2026 FC and SRK - Garden Party Photo of ALX - The Ashley Lynn Experience ALX - The Ashley Lynn Experience "What an awesome show. I’ll be back tonight (and again and again...)." Based in Detroit, Michigan, United States (103 miles from London) 18th March 2026 Wayne D. - The Ashley Lynn Experience Photo of Denise Davis and the Motor City Sensations Denise Davis and the Motor City Sensations "Annette Wernert recommends Denise Davis and the Motor City Sensations. We had a great time at your concert at Eastpointe City Hall! You are all very talented and gifted performers. Thank you for a wonderful evening!" Based in Detroit, Michigan, United States (103 miles from London) Annette Wernert Photo of The Kensie Jazz and Dance Band The Kensie Jazz and Dance Band "Perfect Jazz Band! Secured The Kensie Jazz Band for our 30th Anniversary corporate event. From start to finish they were perfect. Perfect background music while guests are engaging in the social circuit. Perfect background music while being seated and served for dinner. The band can adjust their sound level to your preference. They play a range of music. A live band is a classy touch and adds ambience to any event rather than a standard DJ. It is a completely different vibe. Nice group of people! Good pricing as well. Thank you!" Based in Toronto, Ontario (104 miles from London) Jenifer F. - Cocktail and Dinner Music

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring oldies bands is $950, with prices from $280 to $4,100+. Pricing depends on band size, performance length and the range of decades covered. Oldies bands typically perform hits from the 1950s through to the 1980s and vary from compact trios to larger groups with multiple vocalists.

The oldies bands for hire typically cover hits from the 1950s through to the 1980s, including rock and roll, doo-wop, Motown, pop, disco and classic rock. Many bands offer a broad greatest-hits style setlist that touches on multiple decades of popular music.

Hiring oldies bands is ideal for birthday parties, anniversary celebrations, weddings, corporate events, retirement parties and any occasion where nostalgia and sing-along favourites will get guests on their feet. Most bands have a broad repertoire that can be tailored to the age group and tastes of the audience.

Many oldies bands can tailor their setlist to focus on a particular era if requested. Whether the event calls for 1960s Motown, 1970s disco or a broader oldies mix, most bands are flexible. It is advisable to discuss your preferences when making an enquiry.

Most oldies bands provide their own instruments, amplifiers and PA system for standard event spaces. For larger venues or outdoor events, additional sound equipment may be needed. It is worth confirming technical details before booking.

The repertoire is built to be recognised, so a mixed-age room usually finds common ground faster than it would with a single-genre act. Older guests get the original hits and younger ones know most of them from film and television. Where one age group dominates, say so, and the band can weight the set rather than spreading it thin.

Most stay close to the records, since recognition is the whole point, though tempos are often lifted a little for a dance floor. Some acts modernise the backing while keeping the melody, which suits a younger crowd. Asking which approach an act takes is worth doing, as it changes the feel more than the song list does.

Most bookings place the band after the meal and the speeches, once guests are ready to be on their feet. An earlier slot works for a daytime event or where something lighter is wanted while people arrive. The booking is normally split into two performances with a gap between, so the room can eat or move.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.
